Between the raindrops

We were up bright and early this morning.  It was overcast, but looked like it might be a nice morning for golf.  We headed to Starbucks for our coffee and tea and as the barrista was creating our drinks, huge drops started to come down.  It will pass we said with confidence.  We drove to the course in the pouring rain and arrived there at around 6:45.  We were about 45 minutes early for our tee-time.  As we arrived at the club house, the phone was ringing off the hook with people cancelling their rounds.  Unfortunately for us, we had no flexibility left in our schedule.  We were game to give it a try.  We both had rain jackets with us and by 7:15 the rain wasn't that bad.  It rained till we were on the 10th hole.  At that point, we were pretty wet,  but we were having a good game.  There was no pressure as no one was pushing us from behind.  As a matter of fact when we talked to the marshall he told us that only 4 groups were teeing off this morning. Everyone else had cancelled. 





Our final 9 holes were played with no rain which was great!  It was a fun morning.   This afternoon, it started to rain again so Laura and I went shopping together while Ralph took the girls to the pool.
