Golf

So some friends of my dad's, Jim and Jan, came into town this weekend. My dad set up tee times for both Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday I had to work at the airport until noon and start a second shift at 6pm. I met them and played the back 9 after which we went inside to get something to drink before returning to work. The timing was perfect. I worked 8 hours and got in 9 holes of golf. It only would have been better if I had played better.

Jim, Jan and my dad have been friends since before my dad even met my mom. They each have 2 kids from previous marriages. I am friends with one of the Jim's sons and one of Jan's daughters. I have never had the opportunity to play golf with any of them. I wanted to show Jim how well I could play, so of course I SUCKED ASS!

On Sunday I met them again, this time to play all 18. I again sucked on the first 9. By the back 9 I just didn't care anymore and my game started to come back, OF COURSE!

It was a fun weekend. It was really nice to see Jim and Jan again. I can't remember the last time I saw Jim and I can't remember if I've seen Jan since my sister's wedding 9 years ago! The good news is that I will get to see them AND all 4 of their kids in October at Amie's wedding. Amie is Jan's oldest daughter who I am friends with. I am very much looking forward to attending her wedding.
