Today was our first, and probably last, golf round in Alabama. We had a 9:00am tee time at the State Park golf course. After paying $20 golf all winter, it pained us to pay $44 each for golf. However, we were fortunate to play with two brothers, Dave and Don McCloud from Ontario, Canada. Both were in their late 60s/early 70s, and quite funny. Don was a good golfer while Dave hacked away with the best of 'em. They liked to laugh as much as we do while golfing. The only problem we had with them was they would yell " Hit it on the green " in Mark's backswing. It was a little disconcerting.
The course had some beautiful azalea bushes that all seem to be blooming now.
After golf we headed to the beach for a couple of hours. I guess we're getting used to the very cold water - Mark got in all the way today. Me - I just stayed on the beach enjoying the sunshine. People are getting braver, or just don't care about the jelly fish. The purple flag is still flying.
It was then back to the park for laundry. It's so easy here - no other people to argue with or fight over machines.
After dinner we walked to the beach for the sunset and stopped in the Pink Pony bar/restaurant for a couple of drinks. The live music that started at 8:15p was a bit much so we walked back. I think we're getting old - we complained about how loud it was!
