Today...almost five months to the day from when I broke & dislocated my shoulder...I played golf.
It was just the two of us - Judy and me - and we played
at Floyd's very own Great Oaks Country Club. It's a gem of a
course...beautifully maintained and on beautiful terrain. When we
first saw it years ago, we were amazed that Floyd had such a great
course. After we got to know Floyd better, we realized it was just
another one of Floyd's many treasures. And the price to play? How
about $39 (that's weekend rates) for cart and green fees! You can't beat that.
We had a great time: we enjoyed the course, the weather, and each other's company. In between shots, we collected leaves. Judy's thinking of pressing them and using them somehow. Why, we even enjoyed our games.
I think I played pretty well if you take into
consideration that I wasn't even sure I was going to be able to hit the
ball or if my shoulder was going to slip out of its socket. The back
nine got a bit scraggly, but my final score was 93 with no pick-ups,
and no lost balls. As our friend Anita is prone to say: "it was good enough".
