I celebrated day 150 with the first round of golf for the season. I am certainly paying the price now but it was totally worth it. Pain, I'm saying... I'm in alot of pain.
We got to the course (Rockway Glen) and were informed no golf carts could go out. It was just too wet. If we hadn't driven so far I might have taken this as a sign we should try another day. Well... at least my new Footjoys were clean from the pro shop to the first tee. Hip waders would have been more appropriate than golf shoes. Never have I played such a sodden course. We mucked along as best we could and actually had a great deal of fun. About the fourth hole the sun came out. It came out large and it came out hot. The ground was steaming and the air temp was about 35. HOT. My FJ's are filthy and I have mud from my ankles to my knees. I looked like I'd been for a spa treatment and forgotten to rinse off. About the 10th hole the bugs realized we were out there. So many bugs. Big, little, bitey, up yer nose-y, in your ears-y bugs. By the 18th hole (damn... didn't cross the water... sooo close) the tanks were empty. We were so tired from the back nine Bataan Death March that it was all we could do to slide in the car and drive home.
But, you see... we're golfers. On the ride home we discussed every lousy shot and re-lived every great shot. (I got two bogies!!) Would I do it again tomorrow... no. Was it super fun... you bet!
My FJ's are clean and I just took a shower that almost killed me. Did I mention the hard part about scrubbing the mud was the ridiculous sunburn I'm sporting?
My MFP tells me that 41/2 hours of golf (pulling clubs) burns about 1400 calories. There... I snuck in something that has to do with the Project :)
I'm off to moisturize and sleep... ttyl :)
