It's been forever since I've last posted......way back in the snowy weather. It's time to talk about golf again! The Morgan Run girls just had a guest day.....big.....128 girls...that's a lot. Julia and I are the Guest Day Divas this year (a way-cool term for Chairpersons otherwise known as Unpaid Volunteers who work like hell to get everything done correctly and on time)
Everyone was in purple which looked pretty cool on the fairways. Our grounds superintendent Gary even had purple flowers on all the tee boxes. Pretty impressive. We began the morning with a quick continental breakfast, stopped by the first tee for mimosas and a quick picture opportunity. That's our Golf Pro, Gary, on the right hand side, in the feather boa!
I think everyone had a good time....not too many complaints...hey....who would complain....we're golfing, we're not working, we're not totally broke, yet! Next guest day, May 19..Perky in Pink, followed by August's Wicked in White and November's Ravishing in Red. Yeah, there's a theme here.....color! Last year's guest days were Gorgeous in Green, Brilliant in Blue, Mellow in Yellow and Radiant in Red. The color theme has been very successful. I have so many more color ideas: Bitchy in Brown, Bloated in Black,
Pukey in Plum, Grumpy in Gray, Outrageous in Orange, Ugly in Umbra (is umbra a color....is it even a word?).
Now back to my golf game......Katie and I recently participated in Partner's Match Play. We were defending our title from last year. We played against some pretty competitive girls but after two days, we advanced to the finals. Katie pulled out some miracle shots; I helped by "halving" some holes. Pretty fun day. Last hole, we needed a win; not a tie. I putted in from off the green. Pretty impressive; but then no one says I'm not humble.
Which brings us to today....played with Dan in Chose Up. I love chose up. But I couldn't putt...just couldn't. Had nine 3 putts....that's pretty much 9 extra strokes added to my score. What a crap game! But tomorrow's another day; another game.
So, how was your day?
First there were three Hills: Jesse, Jimmy and Tracy..............
Since reading Monique's blog "A day in the life of a Surferwife" where she reestablishes herself as a surferwife and will now add Surf Reports to her blog, I thought maybe it was time for me to also throw in something about golf on the Golf Girls Rule blog! So here it is........this past August you know who won the Presidents Cup, which is a match play tourney against the brightest and the best in the Morgan Run Women's Club. However, a funny thing happened on the way to the tournament. Some of our brightest and best were injured or unable to play so ..... aha......I was pushed to the top of the ladder and competed in the A Flight. I played my hardest during some very tough mental times.....my Mom had been in the hospital twice and in a care facility during the same time that I competed. It took all my focus to stay in the game and still be "there" for Mom but thanks to my ever-present family, I was able to pull it out and come out on top.
It's been forever between blogs.....over six months it seems. I've finished with Passionate in Purple, done Perky in Pink, Wicked in White and am now working on Ravishing in Red......those would be guest days for the Morgan Run Women's Club. So just to get you up to date, the family has also celebrated a bunch of birthdays...Jason's number 7 and now he's losing all his teeth as he grows older...poor thing! Jimmy turned 3 and is talking much more and swimming like a champ; Haley became four years old, entered pre-school and knows all her numbers and letters (lower case and upper case, she says) and the biggest news is Samuel August Hill has joined the family....spitting image of Jimmy.....pictures will follow! September ended with the 90th birthday of my Mom (Aunt Honey, Grandma Honey, et al) which we celebrated with a birthday brunch at Morgan Run with over 90 of Mom's closest friends and family!

Ok, now I'm a bit scared. For a So. Cal. girl, the snow is a whole 'nother world...so imagine my dismay to wake up this morning (still in Big Bear) and find these odd footprints right outside my bedroom door. Certainly not man-made; definitely not animal; doesn't look like huge raindrops. Must be....yes, it's the ellusive yeti that I have been searching for all my life. Right at my backdoor and I slept through the entire encounter.
