Sand Mountain

Last Thursday was Kevin's official day off. So he somehow convinced me to go with him to the golf course (go ahead, pick your jaw up off the floor) and ride the golf cart while he played 18 holes. Who knew Sand Mountain - known as the home of snake handling church goers - would have a classy golf course. This place is just full of surprises! For the record, this was only the 2nd time I've done this in our 4 years of marriage and now I remember why! He convinced me to go by telling me how beautiful it is up on Sand Mountain and I'll give him some points for that...it is pretty up there. It would have been even better if it weren't monsooning outside all morning.
The day we went it started raining on the 4th hole and we had to sit under a tree for an hour to wait out the storm. Luckily, I brought a book with me so I was able to entertain myself while he stood beside the cart holding an umbrella over his golf clubs. He played another couple of holes and it started raining again. By the time we were done (4 hours later....) I was cold, wet, hungry, and even less of a golf fan than when we started up the mountain.

Pretty View!...I'm talking about the mountains, not Kevin's backside. I knew what you were thinking.
See his ball in the sand trap...hahhaahaha.

Good view...but not worth the rain.

On a wide open golf course why is this warning necessary? If your driver is running you into trees or other humans on the golf course you have bigger problems than just staying in the cart.

I hope you get a day off this week! Make it a good one.

  1. Yeah for days off! My day off is tomorrow and Ted and I are going kayaking on the Columbia River, which runs right through town. I'm definitely looking forward to it, hopefully we won't end up too sore.

  2. The sign on the cart makes me laugh. A Jasper (Indiana) golf coach almost threw me off a cart once, but I was riding on the back where the bags are supposed to go.
