You Can Call Me Tiger

So… the past two days have been fun golf days for me and the husband.  I think I mentioned last week that I had not played since Sadie was born, and it has been fun to get back to it.  I expected to have to relearn everything all over again, but I have found that I might possibly have improved after my 3 1/2 year hiatus…? Strange.

  

We decided to play at Edgewater, which is in the middle of nowhere, but is very pretty.  The course was in beautiful shape!  Did I mention that today was SUPER-HOT?  We heard on the news this morning was that the heat index was going to be like 103 degrees.  We played early in the day, around 9 a.m., to try and beat the heat. 

This course was designed by Fuzzy Zoeller.  They even had a parking space reserved for him.

I wanted to ask if Fuzzy had actually ever parked there, but I didn’t.

My major successes of the day were:

• making par on hole 1
• driving 190 yds
• driving the green on a Par 4 hole
• only losing 2 balls
• hitting my driver really well all day

I would like to say that golf outings make a great day-date!  I am especially lucky that my husband is very patient and is my personal golf coach.  :)

After golf, we decided that it was definitely time for the pool, so we finished up our day in the water.  Perfect.  Although… I am EXHAUSTED.  Think I might head to bed early tonight. 

Oh—did I mention that we are going to a concert of a super-famous musical group tomorrow???  Anybody wanna guess who we are going to see???

Super-Woman Wednesday

So in case you are wondering, why yes… I am Super-Woman!  Today was a bit of a super-sports day.  This morning, Ryan and I were chatting about what we’d like to do today.  (Gosh, I am gonna be sad when he goes back to work in a week in a half!)  We started with a little trip to a sporting goods store to check out some golf clubs.  The husband is really wanting a new set, but he’s not quite ready to buy.  That led to a conversation over lunch about how I have not played golf since before Sadie was born.  But the more we looked at clubs, I thought… I’d really like to play again!  So we decided to give it a go.  We ran home, grabbed my clubs, and headed to the driving range.

 

  

 

Surprisingly, I could still hit the ball!  I definitely need more practice, but today was a great start to getting back to playing.  AND… hubby and I have made a golf date for next week to play “for real!”  I’m so excited!  Maybe Gold might be my next topic for a “Sisterly Guide”. 

After golf, we were super-sweaty because it was really humid today, so we came home to rest before I went to teach Zumba.  I taught a very high-energy class and then decided to stick around for yoga.  Yoga is so hard, but I feel so good when I go.  I need to do it more regularly.

After all that, I was STARVING!!!  I decided to pick up Chinese takeout… Chicken with Mixed Vegetables.  I tried a new spot today and lookie—zucchini!  I have never gotten zucchini in my Chinese takeout!  Yum!

Okay… now it’s time to rest and enjoy some mindless, trashy television.  G’night!
