My wife is my favorite golfing partner. Period. I enjoy her company and her game on the course. I enjoy our handicapped match play contests that amount to nothing more than a source of entertainment during the round. Most often it comes down to the last hole before things are decided however if I play my best she cannot beat me and vice versa. My 5 handicap vs. her 23 gives her the perfect one stroke per hole to keep it close most of the times.
Last Friday we played some late season golf on a Veteran's Day work holiday. This late in the season afternoon rounds are dependent upon how late you tee off and how many people are in front of you holding you up. We play very quickly and this day we ran into the dreaded wall of slow players on the 4th hole of the South Course so we doubled back and played holes 2, 3 and 4 a second time which gave us a cushion again.
We caught the masses again on the 12th hole and decided that the daylight was not going to last if we stayed behind the back up so we skipped to the 4th on the North Course and played #4 and 5 before catching up to another group. We decided to bag it and head on in.
We had fun trying to find a solution to the waning sunlight. In the end we played a full 17 holes after zipping to and fro trying to escape the groups ahead of us. Its too bad because for the official 12 holes that we played I was only 3 over and Joanie, while having not played in about 3 weeks, was also playing well.
If we don't get out together again this year it will be too bad, but we did have fun last week.
