Golf! With a baby!


The last four successive Mondays, Will, Sawyer and I have gone out to the Nevada County Country Club golf course at around 7pm to play a few holes of golf...last night was our greatest success; we got 7 holes done before the whining (Sawyer's) commenced!



To that little guy's credit, he sure has been a trooper. He sleeps, he checks out his mommy's swing, he watches his daddy's putts, he plays with his own bright yellow golf ball, he's a willing participant in the game we have to play to avoid the sprinklers.



Last night I even par'd (parred? pared? had a par?) hole 6!

We even were the lucky recipients of a visit by this little guy:

Yikes! Wheeling Sawyer along the cartpath we screeched to a hault when I found what, at first glance, looked to be a lobster. In reality it was a giant, lost crawdad, some 50 yards from its pond hangout.


If you're ever in need of an unusual fauna encounter on a golf course, I'm your woman: I've hit a deer in the arse, been stalked by a 6 foot iguana, watched a duck get its neck broken by a ball (awful), had a squirrel pick up my golf ball and attempt to carry it off, and probably other incidents I'm forgetting.
