Rained Out Golf

With perfect golf weather in the works we decided to arrange a golf day with our friends. These friends have a game with us here and in Florida each year for the past number of years. The weather today was humid but tolerable . There were a few clouds to the west but nothing to call off a game of golf. As we drove the 30 Kms to Rock Chapel Golf course there were a few drops on the windows .

Before we could get out of the car a lightening bolt flashed and thunder began to resound throughout the golf course. People who were playing came running in and cars were loaded with disappointed golfers. We sat and waited because we knew it was only a shower. Forty minutes later and the rain was worse than before and we resigned ourselves to a rain out.

Instead of losing the day we went back to our friends house and finished a half bottle of wine. We collectively decided to go out for dinner and we picked a rib house. As we sat down the young waitress clued us in that they were having a rib fest and we really should go with the promotion. The ribs were good but the conversation was better. We discussed everything p0ssible knowing the time was short and we would not be seeing these folks for a while.

What could have been just a rained out golf game turned out to be a good time with old friends. We have a few days like this and the older you get the time associating with friends becomes even more enjoyable. I look forward to many more rained out golf days.
