Sounds like a fun time! I played at golf again, out at the Prince William
County course. Shot a 50 on the front nine, which was good (for me), but
then turned around and shot 64 on the back nine. I was not a happy camper
during that last nine holes. The last hole has a shot over a lake, which is
where I almost threw my clubs - all of them.
There was a chilly wind in the morning, but by the afternoon the temp was
up, the wind was down, and the day was quite comfortable.
