Couples Golfing

I was shocked the other day when a friend told me that it was just a few weeks until school started back. I guess that’s one of the other things that happens when the nest empties – you totally forget the ’school year’. That wasn’t the only stimulus (our youngest getting married and many details yet to be decided was in there somewhere) but the decision was that we had better load up the clubs and head out – somewhere.

 North Carolina was the end target, much for the reason above, but golfing along the way is also in the plans. Using the resources that we hope that you find available on this site (please let us hear a comment – pro or con), we have managed the trip and the tee times through most of the next few weeks. Good friends host us outside of Charlotte so the golf planning we left to them and have only to hope the the weather will cooperate. That said, we’ve been playing here in N. Texas for the last 6 weeks in pretty ugly stuff. First, 6:30 times were imperative because of the oppressive heat, and then the humidity kicked in – making the early hour still pretty sluggish. With all the recent rains in the southeast, it doesn’t look like the temps will be the challenge, but the high water just might??

 After Charlotte, we head to Durham (the youngest is in the final months of a doctorate at Duke – yep, we’re proud!) and we plan to play just off the Duke campus and then in Raleigh. Our return will run us through Tennessee and there are several possibilities that we can take advantage of (again, check Tee-Bone).

 So, that puts us back in Texas in mid-August. Beat the school year but not sure that we solved the weather thing. Good news is that the other son lives in So. Cal so there is another direction to check. News to follow.
