Sonja was the first person to tee off in KLGA play day.
No one can see the ball through this thick fog.
You know it is there, somewhere out there…  
Waiting for birdie finish….

We had unusual weather in January.   Unusual, that is, for golf weather.   Three weeks in a row, the KLGA play day was canceled due to bad weather.  I was always a self-proclaimed “weatherproof golfer.”  I would play golf in 30-degree cold weather or even play through 50 miles an hour wind.  WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME? I forget, that was a few years ago or was it a jillion years ago.
Anyhow there was no KLGA organized golf for the first three Wednesday in January of 2013.

So, what is there for a golf granny to do on unplayable days?  Well, I stayed at home and did many home making projects like home made laundry soap and cooking like I was going to feed the Army.  Now I have enough laundry soap for next four years and my freezer is full of homemade frozen food so I don’t have to cook for a while.  I also knitted a couple of hats for my granddaughters.  These projects left me with sore hands and shoulder discomfort so I don’t recommend it to any golfers.
What a rough start! It occurred to me that when I asked Irene to be the play day chair, she said “yes” very quickly. But I have been wondering if it had anything to do with this “unplayable” golf weather?  She is getting away too easy…
Finally, decent golf weather arrived on 23rd January!!!
Nineteen players responded to play but one backed out at the last minute. The temperature was comfortable to be outdoors but the fog was so thick the visibility was not so good.   But I could tell the ladies’ desire to play golf was even thicker than the fog.  I was in good spirits and ready to have some good old fun and bonding time with my good friends.
So, here I am!!!  No little, I mean thick, fog; will be in my way of golf. MOVE OVER FOG!
Three weeks of no organized golf is way too long for this golf granny.  Although I have played golf with some friends whenever I can catch good weather, playing organized golf with this group of ladies is something different.
The name of the game for the first play day of 2013 January was “N.O.S.E”
This means only count the strokes on the holes starts with aforementioned letters such as Nine, One, Six, Seven, Eight, Eleven, Seventeen and Eighteen witch totals nine holes.

As for the weather, after the fog was lifted, it turned out perfect for the rest of day.

By the way, Irene only got to do her play day chair duty twice.  I am not sure if this was luck or if she played some kind of magic on weather.  Either way, I think Irene deserves a mulligan.  

사랑해요 :-)
