Gary's Golf Game

Gary says he doesn't play golf - he plays "OH S#^!" That's mostly because he's always so busy with work in the construction biz that he doesn't get out to hit golf balls or play a round, except maybe once or twice a year. This year, his great golf outing was this past Monday. He realized one of his golf dreams - playing a course at Pebble Beach. Our good friend, Brian, who lives in the Pebble Beach community, treated Gary to a round of golf at the Del Monte Course - probably one of the best birthday gifts ever. When they finished, Brian greeted his wife, Marianne (who happens to be the reigning California Senior Women's Amateur Golf Champion for the past several years) and me with "Guess what? Gary shot a 90!!" I looked at him in appropriate disbelief as Gary was coming around a corner into view, whereupon Brian added, "On the front 9!!" Gary said it was more like "the first hole." I have to hand it to Brian, a fantastic golfer in his own right, because he was kind enough to play with Gary, as well as the other two players in their foursome, Gordon and Mary. Gary had a great time and is already looking forward to next year's game - maybe at Augusta National.
