Happy Father's Day!

With that form, the shot must have been good.

Yes, I did write Happy Father's Day in my title.  In Australia, they celebrate Father's Day on the first Sunday in September.  Since we weren't with Adam on our Father's Day (he was traveling back to the states), we decided to celebrate here.  Sydney took him to a breakfast at her school on Friday.  Adam was able to meet some of her friends and another family that is here from Kansas City.

We are walking back to the tee box.

I hope it was a good shot!

Today, we went golfing.  We can look out our windows to see if the course is busy or not.  There wasn't really anyone on the course, so we headed over.  It was pretty nice, but the hole set up is a little strange.  Sometimes you have to walk back 50 yards from the green to the next tee box.  The course is right on the ocean, so on a few holes if you hit it wide your ball would land on the beach or in the waves. 

Do you think he made it?

We did have a few unusual things happen while we were golfing.  First people walk on the hole closet to the beach.  There isn't a path, but there they are.  They even bring along their dogs.  If you weren't careful you could hit them on the tee shot.  Second, there was one couple that walked right across all the holes, so they could get wherever they were going.  Having us playing golf didn't stop them.  Third, before you head to the back nine, there is a path to the beach.  The 7th green is right next to the path.  As we approached the green, there were girls doing cartwheels and flips on the fringe.  Finally, the best one was the group that walked out to sit under a tree on one of the holes on the back nine to have a picnic.  They laid out their blanket, sat down, and had lunch.  This would never happen in the states.
