Hello again everyone.  Today we headed up towards Charleston SC for a golfing adventure for Tom.  We finally ended up on Kiawah Island after going through 2 security gates just to get to a golf course.  The course runs up and down the coastline separating the seashore from many fine homes in the area.  If you happen to see one of our kids, tell them to sell the house and deposit the change in the checking account.  And also we won't be needing a car any more if Tom has his way.  A view of a couple of homes just across a little lagoon, easily in the low 8 figures.

Once we got started walking, Tom with his best buddie Alice walking the course with him, we got down to business.  Now I really don't expect you to believe that this ball wasn't Tom's...and it wasn't, however the playing partner made the excuse that he didn't want his feet to get wet.

The course was really a nice place to play and Tom's caddy Travis really made the day.  Without him Tom would never have broken 120.  You can see Travis moving away after giving Tom a lesson on the rules about where to drop after taking a stroke penalty out of a hazard.  Tom's score on the hole...5.  The average score for the hole during the 2012 PGA Championship...5.4.

All in all it was a pleasurable day.  Tom's score was quite remarkable and the alligators had nothing to do with it, the umpteen hard traps had nothing to do with it, the hard greens had nothing to do with it, a 12 on the stimpmeter had nothing to do with it, the long holes had nothing to do with it, and the wind had nothing to do with it...Tom just wanted to get in enough swings to get his money's worth out of playing...and Alice wanted a nice long walk with her best friend.

By the time you read this, Doug and Robin will be in their new home city of Cheyenne, WY.  p.s...  If you want to see a good Rodeo, head to Cheyenne the last 10 or so days in July and say hi to them when you are there.
