I know I haven't blogged in a while. For those ardent readers perhaps 'a while' is an understatement. Anyhoosers (a corrupted form of "anyhow) summer has always been my favorite time of the year since the seasons began. A recent highlight, which I will now devour, is playing golf. See, when you sit home on that lovely couch watching TW (Tiger Woods) and the golf channel you would think, surely how difficult can it be to use a stick, a ball and a hole. Like any other sport it seems easier to yell at the athletes and tell them what to do. I remember we had this teacher in Luhyia-land that loved soccer so much that he would play the game on the sideline. You can only imagine what his blood sugars and pressures were when we lost!

A week ago our men's fellowship went to the Poconos and spent a day at the Shawnee Golf Club. Men! (expression) what a challenge to tee that ball. The hold, the swing and the follow-through has to coordinate perfectly. Many of us were first-timers on the course. Can you imagine the chaos we created! Some held the golf stick like a panga (machete), others dug holes big enough to plant corn, while missing the ball entirely... Well I can go on and on. The point that I am pointedly making is that we had fun. And that was the bottom line. We can't wait to go back (hopefully before the summer is over)

How is your summer going?

It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both
summer and winter. Ps 74:17

I've never tee'd but who knows what the future holds. My dad took up golf after he retired and he now plays every day in the afternoon. I may follow in his footsteps when I retire.

hELLO Kim, We never have summer over here. I would love to experience summer one day. And golf isn't really a popular game for us. Soccer? Yup! definitely! I think it is a world sports.
