5/8/06-Golf YIKES!!!!

5/8/06 Ralph and I decide to have a go at golfing. Anyone who know me also knows that golf is something I have never attempted outside the miniature course. Here are some pictures.

The weather was questionable but being the dedicated golfers that we are...we said "damn the rain" and started swinging. Ralph called me a wuss for getting a cart but I thought it was a good plan in case of a down pour. Here we are starting out using Ralph's antique clubs.

Like a farmer hoeing weeds, Paul demonstrates his perfect form!







Here's Ralph taking a perfect put...being the experienced golfers we are, we were unsure weather to remove the flag or not.


And then it happened! That once in a lifetime occurrence! Ralph's ball landed exactly on top of my ball from the tee! Ralph was unsure of the rule that may apply. Being the men that we were we knew that balls tend to pair up and hurt when knocked together. I grabbed Ralph's ball and asked him to turn his head and cough (being married to a nurse comes in handy) and played through.

Soon after the ball incident it began hailing and Ralph retreated to the cart. My 1st golfing attempt ended with 2 lost balls...2 balls paired.. and 2 odd balls, very wet and running for cover. I can't wait to try again. Maybe during a tornado next time! I am sure that Mike C. is very proud of me after reading this. We plan to head for Custer, SD in 2 days!

Is it legal for two men to play with thier balls out in the open like that?

And dad? Your stroke needs work.
