braving the heat

We didn’t walk Thursday because Evelyn had a luncheon at 11:30. I took the car to the golf course and walked the back 9 again. It was cooler when I started but heated up by hole 13. Hole 12 was interesting. The Tee markers had been move 50 yards closer to the green. They were barely visible from the previous location. It made the hole much easier. After 9 holes I went to the clubhouse to rest. There were many people lined up to tee off on #1, so I ate a $.99 hotdog before going back to play. There was a man ahead in a cart. We met on hole 2, and he invited me to ride with him so I did. I was getting quite tired by then anyway. I loaded my clubs onto the cart and rode with my new folded push cart on my lap. I played a bit better but not well. I got woozy on hole 8 and didn’t play it but did bogey hole 9. I was home by 1:30 and barely beat Evelyn home. She was disappointed in the luncheon meal. Jo had done a great job especially since the original location had backed out. The meal at the Grandview Inn was small, expensive and not very good. Banquet meals rarely seem worth the cost. We rested in the afternoon, but Evelyn decided she had to walk in the evening. We also had an apple mission. The man at the end of the road has a transparent apple tree. We stopped to ask if we could pick some of the remaining apples. He agreed to let us, so we went to the lake. While Evelyn walked, I went to borrow a extension fruit picker and spent the time before Evelyn finished talking with Frances and Mickey Monteith. We came home and went to bed after the 10 O’clock news.
