We had set the time for a game of golf. My step-son and I were to end up on the links for nine holes. This was to be a time for him to learn more of the game, and for me to enjoy swinging a club once again.
The day opened with cloudy skies that opened to the sun off and on. By lunch time I was hoping for enough time without rain to get us on and off the greens without incident.
So, around 2:45 we headed to the golf course. Of course, there was only one threesome in front of us – with an electric cart. And at the first burst of rain they were off.
We sat in the clubhouse for a few moments waiting for the rain to subside. Some moments passed and we stepped onto the course. The manager had called and told the staff no one else was to be allowed on the course. We were told we could try the course, but that a raincheck was available.
Two holes later we were soaked to the bone, had driven a few good balls, and in the end had a tale to tell.
And maybe that’s what golf is all about!
