MAYBE THEY SHOULD GO THERE... The trials and tribulations of trying new things

Can you believe it? The first quarter is almost over and what have we done? Certainly, we have not played a lot of golf. The saying, “we plan and God laughs,” has come to mind numerous times these past months.

Our first Tuesday play day was Match Play and seemed to be enjoyed by all. We had 11 matches and with the exception of a few of us most winners worked hard for their wins.

Our Mar 14 play day was moved to Mar 17 due to the course being closed for aerification. Probably a good thing it got moved as rain would have meant we couldn’t play. Also, by waiting until Friday, we were able to play the River course for the first time in about three months. What a delight to see and play the course. It was in great shape, thanks to Kurtis and his staff, as well as having had time to recover from the many major storms.

Once again, rain and wind changed our plans for Mar 21. It was going to be a full day – Blind Draw, Medallion Play from the combo tees plus our General Meeting. But, due to the weather, we improvised. A short meeting conducted by Beth Handel was held at 9am with about 22 members attending. Following the meeting, a number of us who love our day out on Tuesday stayed and played non golf games. There were two tables of bridge players – one for the pros and one for the pros to help the beginners. Thanks to Beth and Rita for their patience and pointers. There was also a rousing game of Sequel being played by the pros and beginners. We have one more play day scheduled for this month so hopefully the weather will cooperate.

We also have 8 of our ladies playing our first Team Play match at Del Paso on the 30th. Again pray for cooperation from the weather. Also 4 of us will be playing in our first Open day tournament at The Golf Course at Boulder Ridge in San Jose. Both events should be fun.
