Day at the golf course

I planned a day at the golf course for my first weekend off in about a month. Despite my excitement to go out and "swing the clubs" I didn't make it until this afternoon. My rusty planning was clearly evident as I scheduled the tee time for 2:15, thinking I would miss the heat of the day. However, in Oklahoma the hottest part of the day is b/w about 3-7 PM. Should have known better.
So the round started under diret sun with temps in the mid 90's. However I was chilling in my brand new and "fabulously fuchsia" nike golf polo, thanks mom. That coupled with my new Frog Togg "chilly pad" and the heat was held at bay. (see attached link for info on the chilly pad my new oklahoma must have accessory) The round was a brisk 3.5 hrs mediocre 91. Some good shots not too many bad but several mental mistakes for which I blame the weather. Had good company with James who nearly made two birdies in an afternoon. I am feeling pretty good to have two birdies a month. Shot of the day was probably the 190 yard hybrid 3 iron over the trees toward a hidden green inside of 20 feet for a routine 2 putt par. Worst shot of the day was a sky high drive that fell shot of the fairway and in the pond with a brand new Pro V1 which I had just pulled out of the bag, go figure.
Well that is my lazy Sunday afternoon at the golf course. Hopefully I will get better at this blogging stuff and maybe next time post some photos.
Have a great week!!!!

How?

Morning drives can become very routine. Same route, day after day. But every once in awhile something snaps you out of your trance. That happened to me today.....


I saw this out of the corner of my eye as I drove past the local car wash. I then stopped the car, threw it into reverse and took a picture. My first thought was "How?" How does one manage to get a full sized extended cab pickup in a drainage ditch? Did he think he could jump it? Or forget to put the truck in park? However the truck got into the ditch, it was out this afternoon on my way home. Which prompted another question...how strong was the tow truck that pulled OUT the pickup?

Food for thought on a Friday afternoon! Have a great weekend!

Bird on a Car

Hello!
So my mother has been telling me I need to start a blog. Not really sure why, my life is fairly boring. Anyway, here it is-BirdOnaCar.blogspot.com.
Why Bird On a Car you might ask? About a year ago, Tom and I were walking through the Walmart parking lot and Tom spotted a (you guessed it) bird on a car. He thought this was the funniest thing, literally tears were rolling down his cheeks. I asked him why this was so amusing. He said you never see birds on cars. Just think about it, on trees, rocks, or schrubs, sure but never cars. So now whenever there is a BOAC sighting, we will text each other. Photos are included if possible. See I told you, very boring life!
Anyway, thanks for reading my first post. Hopefully I'll have more non-boring stories to share!
