Passionate in Purple and 3-putting

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?
