Golfing on Ice


     I got a call from my wife....not the ordinary "Hey I had a few minutes between patients and thought I would waste a few minutes of your time" call.....this was a "Hey...Mike (her boss) wanted to know if you wanted to play golf this weekend" kinda call. I jumped a little quick when I said "sure...where we going...North Carolina? South Carolina?" She cut me off quickly and said...."Dont be ridiculus....its Golf on Ice at Lake Neppessing just a few miles away." I thought for a minute and said "You are calling me ridiculus and then you said we are playing golf on a frozen lake?" I am pretty sure that your statement sounds a bit more ridiculus than mine. She obviously didnt want to argue that point and said..."Do you wanna do it or not?" Being the ridiculus guy that I am ....of course I said yes.

     Glad I did....what a blast this was...the lake hosts this event every year to help fund the fireworks in July. They had 18 holes set up. They plowed the fairways and greens and painted the sides with colored spray paint. The course looked fun and I couldnt wait to start. They use a tennis ball and you can use either a golf club or a hockey stick. You can bring your drink of choice so I chose Beer.
We put all of our drinks and clubs/sticks in a sled and just toted it around from hole to hole. Thank God we had a caddy too who not only pulled the sled...but also kept score. We tended to lose track after the first few holes...not sure... but I think the drinks of choice had something to do with that.
But what a good time that was...I will do it again for sure.

You think the ball would go a long way when you hit it but...NO IT DOESNT!!

 
Kim....Our Beautiful Caddy....She even kept the Beer cold :)

Oh what fun !!!
