WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR GOLF...(ACTUALLY, ANY DAY IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR GOLF). I ARRIVED EARLY FOR A LITTLE PRACTICE AND BREAKFAST AND MET MY GOLF BUDDIES FOR THE DAY...JODY FROM MISSISSIPPI WHO NOW LIVES IN NASHVILLE AND WOODY AND NAN FROM ROCHESTER NY...
WHEN I TOLD WOODY I WAS FROM NEW JERSEY, HE TOLD ME HE GREW UP THERE... I ASKED HIM WHERE AND HE TOLD ME I PROBABLY NEVER HEARD OF IT...A LITTLE TOWN CALLED WINFIELD PARK!! HE ACTUALLY GREW UP ABOUT 1 MILE FROM WHERE I GREW UP! HE GRADUATED FROM ST. JOHN THE APOSTLE (MY GRAMMAR SCHOOL) IN 1958 (THE YEAR I WAS BORN). WE TALKED ABOUT WILLICK'S FARM AND THE WING COMPANY... TALK ABOUT A SMALL WORLD...
PLAYED MUCH BETTER TODAY...JODY PLAYS HERE REGULARLY AND GAVE ME SOME EXTRA LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND EVEN WITH A DOUBLE BOGEY ON THE LAST I WAS ABLE TO SHOOT 78 (SIX OVER PAR). I HAVE DEVELOPED A KNOCK DOWN SHOT TO USE IN THE WIND AND IT WORKED ALL DAY... THE PLACE WHERE THE COURSE IS IS LIKE A BOWL AND THE WIND SWIRLS AND CHANGES DIRECTION(SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF A HOLE) SO YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL... VERY HAPPY WITH MY ROUND BUT IT STILL NEEDS SOME WORK... WEATHER GETTING MORE FALL-LIKE SO I THINK THE CLUBS WILL BE AWAY UNTIL AFTER I VISIT KANSAS...(BUT YOU NEVER KNOW)
SPENT THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING EXPLORING THE GAYLORD... THE GARDEN CONSERVATORY AND RIVERWALK ARE GORGEOUS...IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT'S AVAILABLE UNDER ONE(ACTUALLY SEVERAL) ROOF. HAD LUNCH AT THE SPORTS BAR AND WATCHED THE FOOTBALL GAMES AND WATCHED THE FIRST FEW INNINGS OF BASEBALL...HAD DINNER AT JACK DANIELS SALOON AND RETIRED EARLY...
BACK IN THE JEEP MONDAY FOR THE NEXT LEG... HEADING TO THE "GATEWAY TO THE WEST" ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI... I WILL PASS THE 1,000 MILES TRAVELED SOMETIME MONDAY (KEEPING A RECORD SO I'LL HAVE A TOTAL WHEN I ARRIVE IN CHANDLER, AZ.). THE MOVERS ESTIMATED THE MILEAGE AT 2450 MILES... ENJOYED THE STAY IN NASHVILLE...WILL DEFINITELY RETURN...
