One More Thing...

I went golfing yesterday!!! I had soo much fun. We probably looked like a weird bunch walking onto a golf course (Two ladies - one six months pregnant - two children, and two men) but, I really did not care.

So let me tell you how everything went. First of all when we went to check in and pay we found out that there were no more golf carts. So now we have to walk the course with the two kids and a pregnant lady. After that when it is our turn to tee off they tell us that since we are walking the course we need to let the next set of people go ahead of us. As we are walking away to wait a little longer that man that is at the first hole asks us how many people are golfing and we tell them four. So he says we need to have four sets of clubs. What? Why do we need four sets. Apparently that is golf etiquette or something like that. So now we have to get two more sets of clubs. So we now have two kids, two ladies (one pregnant), two men, four sets of clubs and no golf cart. Yes, it was going to be a long day! We finally get to start about 45 minutes after we were supposed to but we get off to a pretty decent start. When we get to the third hole this old guy on a golf cart rolls up and screams, "You guys need to speed it up! You're going too slow!" My husband then says, "What do you want us to do? We don't have any carts we're walking this course and we had to wait for the people in front of us!" So the man says, "Look, either you skip a hole, let the next set of people go, or speed up!" So My husbands friend asks him how many people are there behind us is there a break somewhere if we let the next people go. He tells us no there isn't a break anywhere the tee times are continuous. This obviously upsets my husband because he starts saying, "So what? Are we supposed to just let all these people go and sit around until you close for our turn!" The man says that we should skip a whole then. So my husband says. "NO!!!!! We paid for nine holes we are playing 9 holes!!!!" So the man just says "Well then you need to speed it up then. I can tell that my husband was extremely upset so I ask him if he wants to tee off first this time. He says yeah. So he sets up his ball goes to tee off and "Whack" the ball and the head of his club goes flying. I don't know how hard he hit that ball but I have never ever seen anything like that before. The head of the club was flying through the air like a bird. At first I though it was a bird. I said, "What is that? Did you hit a bird?" Then I see him look at his club and throw it my way. All that was left was the shaft. The head of the club was gone. So you know what was next right? GAME OVER!!! We all just stopped the mood was gone.

When we got back to the club house my husband and his friend went inside to talk to someone about our "Golfing Experience". They game back with four free rounds and two free golf carts. I guess that wasn't too bad. Hopefully next time we will get past the third hole.

Talk to you later!!!!
