Golfing Buddies

As many of you know the one thing that I have been doing a lot of down here besides missing my family is golfing.  I signed up to a website called lastminutegolfer.com.  On this site along with getting some good rates on golfing you can set up a profile and meet other golfers in your area.  So I decided when I signed up a few months ago to build a profile to help meet some new people.  I had a couple of goals in mind with this, not only was I hoping to meet some people to play golf with but to find some families that Jodi and I would have something in common with.  I typically look at people’s profile that are around my same age or older / married and have kids if they state that.

 I have had some success with meeting a couple of really nice people on this site but I have to say that I have really made a good friend with “Frank”.  Frank is a 52 year old married man with a couple of kids I think who works for one of the local school districts as some kind of PR role.  Frank has a group that he golfs with weekly (Dave, Jim).  I golfed with the three of them about 2 months ago and found myself right at home with this group.  They made me feel as part of the group and like me love to golf but don’t take it so seriously.  They are more out to have a great time then to shoot par and trying to become a professional.  I got the chance to play with Frank, and Jim on Saturday at a golf course that they are members at.  Just like the time before I had a great time with them and hopefully my time between rounds with them is much shorter then the last time. I started out playing like junk and shot a 55 on the front but got it together on the back for a 46 to finish with a 101.
