New Years Day

We spent the night at our friend’s house at Magnolia Greens just outside Leland, N.C., and also friends from Va. Beach stayed.

We played a scramble Gals vs. Guys and gave them TWO strokes over the 18 holes!

Now that may sound like not enough – but on the 18 th. hole – they missed a five-foot putt that would have won the match!

We ended up tying 37 to 39! Only because they boogied the last hole!

As you can see the ball went toward the hole and just stopped inches to one side – that putt would have been the winner!

Sherry had putt just before and Cindy was even closer!

Last hole – par four and they were here in two and three-putt – great job by the ladies and we needed everything we could to tie!

Papa – Buck – and Jim – friends since the 70s – Jim is now retired as both Buck and me.

Cindy – Sherry – Dottie – arriving at number 18 – and at that time we did not know what they were shooting or that they had to par to win the match!

We try as often as we can to get together – having great times as friends for years.

Playing their drive on number 18 – par four – they ended up on the edge of the green.

Magnolia Greens as far as I am concerned is one of the best courses in our area – 27 holes and in great shape.

Sherry putt the third shot for birdie and was about five feet away.

Friends at Magnolia Greens golf course – Gals vs Guys – tied after 18 holes – love these peeps.

SHERRY – CINDY – DOTTIE – GOLFING NEW YEAR’S DAY WITH FRIENDS! PRICELESS!

We moved to Ocean Isle Beach for the weather – while it does get cold – so far no snow or ice!

At night it has gotten down into the high twenties and low thirties.

But the rest of the South – Florida included – has also gotten that cold wave.

I look outside and I see GREEN!

It was a calm 75 degrees on New Years Day!

We were once again doing a scramble – guys vs. gals.

It was decided they would get two strokes per side.

We tied the front nine with them – 40 to 42 – and while the front nine was longer – the back nine was shorter and harder.

The second nine we shot a 42 – and they did not do as well – we ended up beating them.

But – the weather was great – the course lush and green – the greens were fantastic.

Golfing with best friends on New Years Day just 6 miles from our home at Meadowlands.

We moved South – 6 to 8 hours away – just enough for warmer winters – golfing year-round –

Family can visit only a day’s ride away.

And our best friends are near here.
