Golf & Food
We had today off as a comp day...here's my view for "playground duty" this morning! Not the best round, but good weather.

We got to enjoy date night at Flemings for their Tasting Room...love having Magnum Club status!! Had oysters for the first time, along with one of my favorites - scallops.

Golf Weekend
Sunday at Bear Dance.

Just Another Saturday
Someone has to keep the golf courses in business...and it's much better then being at work.

Busy Day
Enjoying the first on the daffodils

We played at Bear Dance in the morning and then I had golf league at Red Hawk in the afternoon. Missing the sun for Wednesday nights already...and it's only the first night of pre-season.

Two Courses
Well, I didn't actually play at two courses. Our ladies golf league had a membership meeting at Red Hawk and then we played at Bear Dance. Once again...another beautiful day...the spring flowers are even beginning to make an appearance.

Golf with Friends
We had a fun day at Bear Dance with a couple of our friends. They both play in the same leagues as Chad and I. More beautiful weather.

More Golf
Managed to get my lucky number of cart today...too bad it didn't help me out a little more.


The bottom photo is for my wonderful friend and coworker Erin...today she turns 50! And she is fabulous! I told her she could have any drink from my "drawer" that she wants.

Surgery & Golf
My first pic is of...popsicles. Thinking about my oldest nephew as he goes in to get his tonsils removed.

















We enjoyed our first round of the season out at Bear Dance today. Even managed to get in a selfie. :)

Full Circle
Almost a year to the day, we made our first trip to Bear Dance...ready for a change. The funny thing was, I was "sold" when I went in the restroom and saw the lockers. This is the photo taken a year ago and tonight. The one difference...my name is on locker #19. We are looking forward to our second season at Bear Dance...NOT missing The Ridge anymore!

The End?
Well, I think our first golf season at Bear Dance might have come to an end today...it's been a great time and I'm VERY glad we made the switch! You'll see the 10-Day Forecast below is not looking so good for future golfing days. I know my ski friends are excited for the white stuff, but this non-skier is not...unless it involves a snow day!

If it was my last round, I at least finished strong. I should have broken 80, but I ended up shooting an 82, hit 72% GIR and birdied #18. I end the regular 2014 golf season with the lowest handicap I've had since college - 8.6...not too bad! Sticking with the white tees at a 72.5/141 rating slope has paid off!

Fall Golf & Family
The weather continues to be perfect for more fall golf...love it!! This might be the last weekend of skort weather though. :(

We hosted family dinner this month. Being so close to Halloween and sticking with our International theme, I went with Transylvania - Romanian Cuisine. As you can see from the photo, we had a great time!

Fall Golf

We got rained out yesterday and today was on the chilly side. It ended up being a beautiful morning on the course. We were the first group out so it felt like we had the entire course to ourselves. Everything seemed so clean and fresh...with the clouds and fall colors it was great!

Later in the day I made my way home to Burlington for the Breast Cancer Awareness Walk.

Highway 86...more scenic then I-70 which helps keep me awake. 

They were doing construction on several bridges. In place of the token "stop sign guy" they have several portable stoplights. This was the first time I remember seeing these, but I guess they are more popular then I thought.

Rain
We were hopeful that we get a full 18 in before the storm set in, but that didn't happen...only made it 9. The colors were beautiful...hope they make it a little longer!

10.08.14

Fall Colors
With the floor work, it had been a couple of days since we had been out to the course and it was amazing how much the leaves had changed in just that amount of time. LOVE THEM!

10.05.14

Busy Day
"Buster" was back for some tomatoes and a short visit this AM. Enjoyed a round of golf at Beardance...front nine MUCH more than the back nine. Enjoyed watching the Broncos' victory and finished the demo for our hardwoods going in tomorrow.

Fall Golf
We had beautiful weather for golf today. 

My sister mentioned that Firestone Walker was at the GABF...I didn't have a ticket, so decided to enjoy one of their brews at home.

The Warm After the Cold
Had some cooler weather the last couple of days. Back to the beautiful summer mornings on the golf course!

Fun Day on the Course
Ally joined me today for some golf at Bear Dance. We had a great time playing with some other golf friends. As usual, Ally put her positive spin on everything and found this "lovely" bunker. Hadn't noticed this all summer!

The Negroni Cocktail Sphere photo is not one that I took, but I think I really want one of these! I think I could put it to very good use!

So Damn Close!!
We had a beautiful morning out at Bear Dance...perfect weather. You may have seen my "Hole in Three" post just over a week ago. Well today, on the same hole, I almost made it a hole in one! The pin was in a similar location...good looking tee shot (thought it was going to be a little too far left)...my ball began rolling towards the hole...it kept rolling...and then I could see it move off course a little as it rolled over the EDGE OF THE CUP...finally it came to rest about 12 inches past the hole...CRAP! Today would have been a GREAT day for a hole in one!! 

08.07.14

Hole-in-One...Sort Of
We were getting a late round in tonight at Bear Dance. We had caught up to the group in front of us and we were on the 12th hole...a par three. To kill some time, I hit two extra tee shots and wouldn't you know it, the third one went in!! CRAP!!!
