Tigress Woods

 


Just skimming through some old photos and found a great one of Julie. Too bad she had to take a break from golf. She would probably be lifting the Lumber cup in victory this year if she had kept playing. Just check out the form.

Trinidad & Tobago 2009

So another month, and another flight with Russell. This time, the flight was twice as long as it was to Orlando but this time Russell had his own seat. Over the 5 1/2 hour flight he was pretty good. Slept a bit, cried a bit, ate a bit and watched movies a bit so we really can't complain.

This trip was all about packing and unpacking. We spent the first two nights at Grandpa Ken's place. Saturday was Alyssa's wedding & reception at the Trinidad Hilton. I booked a room on my Hilton points knowing that it would be better to have a bed close by for Russell to crash after dinner. That Hilton status paid off with a few complimentary drinks, and free buffet brunch for 4 (incl Russ) the next day. Probably worth an extra $150 on top of the room. After that night, it was back to Grandpa's for another night, then the next day a 20 minute flight to Tobago for four days.

Grandpa rented a wonderful villa in Tobago with a great pool and the odd indoor lizard. Finally unpacked for a few days. We took Russ on a glass bottom boat tour to see the coral reef, a little snorkeling and the Bucco Reef and the Nylon pool. Russell loved the water. We'll definitely have to get in more swimming this summer. I even got in a round of golf.

Finally we flew back to Trinidad & one more night with Grandpa before the flight home.

A Rollercoster of a day...

Good news.

It's Sunday and its the first day of the golf season for me. The sun is shining, the forcast is great have a smooth ride up to the course. What a great start.

Bad news.
I get to the course for 9am because they sheet says the first tee off is at 9:30. Execpt, when i get there, they say 1st off is at 10:30 and I'm in the 7th group, so I'll probably start around 11:30. So instead of meeting Julianne at 3:30 like i said, I now have to call her back to explain it will be more like 5:30 or 6pm.

More bad news.
I start my round with a 9 then a 6, then a 10. Yes, 12 over par after 3 holes. Finish the front 9 with a 58.

Good news.
Louis is beating me by 7 strokes after 9 holes. I smuggly tell him that I'll still beat him today. He leads by 9 strokes by the 11th hole. Then by 6 strokes after 12, then by 3 strokes after 13, then tied by the 16. All in all, I did beat him by 3 strokes. Finished the back 9 with a 47.

Better news...
I met Julianne and Russell at Dairy Queen where George and Yvonne were very generous with us. I'm still stuffed with Ice Cream.



Terrible news...
So i get home. Empty my pockets onto the bed so I can change my pants. I take off my belt and gently lob it onto the bed, when i hear a sickly cracking sound.



The horror!!!

The phone works but I get little shards of glass in my fingers when i use it. I really need to get this fixed this week as Russell watches Disney cartoons on it. It's a must have item for the flight.
