Hey Where is Everyone Today on the Golf Course?
 

Today we had day 1 of a 3 day rainstorm. I was at a WCR event at the Redlands County Club and the golf course is usually full of golfers and their carts. It was pouring rain and no one was around except the birds who were jumping on the course. You cannot tell but it was pouring rain and I am sure the bird were waiting for the worms to pop up.

Plus she had to have a helmet and not just a plain one but one of those expensive ones with graphics all over it. Then it had to be insured.
Life seemed good for her and she was so … (12 comments)
