The Day I Don't Golf

As I've mentioned before I play in a golf league on Monday evenings. At least I think I do. The last time I was able to golf was two weeks ago, when a brief, but powerful rainstorm interrupted our round. We were leaving the first green when the rain started and by the time we teed off on #2 it was really coming down. We left our drives where they were and headed for the clubhouse. About 20 minutes later our foursome (minus one) returned and completed our round. I shot the best round I'd shot in league play and racked up some pretty good points. Later I found out so many people left when it started raining, they weren't counting the few rounds that did get finished. My good score was for nothing!

Last week was when I got stuck driving to our church's state office for a meeting that had been cancelled. By the time Janelle and I got back to town, our schedules were conflicting and I was unable to golf.

My meeting was re-scheduled to this Monday. I made sure I got out of there in time to get back for golf, but as I approached the course I was being chased by a thunder-storm. They had called all golfers into the clubhouse, and said it would probably take 30 minutes for the storm to pass.

I was doubtful, plus that would have gotten me started kind of late. I decided I'd pass. Playing in the rain is one thing; lightning is some-thing else altogether.

So, from now on Monday is officially the day I don't golf (unless, of course, I get a chance).
