18 Holes

We started playing golf at about 10:00am. We met at 9:30 and drove to the course. I was home from playing 18 holes of golf at 2pm. I think that it took about 3 hours for us to walk the 18 holes. Last fall when we first walked this course we only did 9 holes so I feel good that we did 18 this time. Actually, you pay for 18 so you might as well do the 18. At about the 10th hole I took a 5 minute break and sat down for a spell. I had a bottle of water which helped quench my thirst. By the time we reached the 17 and 18th holes, the sun had gone in a little and there was a cool breeze so I still felt pretty good. The sun returned again on our walk back to the car. It was quite warm in the sun. I foolishly forgot to put suntan lotion on my arms which I will do the next time so I got a little color today. It was a great day. We didn't even have to stop and let anyone play through. We were keeping up with the flow. Besides walking, there is a lot of bending to place the ball and to pick it up when you've gotten it in the hole. It was great exercise for me. We will try to play once a week. When the weather gets in the 90's I won't be able to do 18 holes because of the heat, but I'll do 9 at least. If there's no humidity I can do more. What a wonderful way to spend a perfect weather day!
