It is. I should be able to find something suitable, Llama. I'll check out what others have & where they got them from.
It did. I decided to put Dad's medals on & marched too (with Arch). I really enjoyed it & G was asked at the last minute to lay a wreath which he was honoured to do.
I'm off to play golf today. I have no idea who with as T has been snaffled by B1 & B2. Hopefully I will play with K.

B2 was sick & B1 asked if I would like to play with her & T & I did. I got along well with her so that was all good. I won Div 2. It's hilarious. There were 11 players- 3 in "Div 1" & 8 in "Div 2". It is so uneven.
I did have a good day. I'm careful what I say & I don't get involved.

Thanks, Llama. They are really grades- lower handicaps (them) & higher handicaps. Most clubs when they have divisions divide the field by 2 so that they're more even. The field is so low that it's just silly having divisions. I feel that I can't really say anything about it until I am down into the lower handicap range.
Thanks, Em. The Bs are definitely much worse together, but I'm also well aware that B1 is very 2 faced. It was good to actually play a game with her though. I seem to have been accepted back by the women. I don't feel on the outer. I'm not a part of their inner circle & I'm ok with that too. I just want to play golf. There are a few women I haven't played with for years & I think I will make a point of asking to play with them.Well done on the win. You're on fire. Maybe the Bs are only bs when together.
G is playing golf today & Arch & I have a home day.

I smell motivation to play more golf.

It is, Llama
I don't want to be argumentative but I do think this just isn't right. One of the 2 women I played with on the first day of comp at the nationals did say she expected me to have my handicap down into the 20s before the next nationals. I'm only 2 off. I did, Em & read a whole book- Donna Leon's - "Give Unto Others", the latest in the Commisario Guido Brunetti series. I love these books. I will ask each week & try to play with different people. It's easier to get along with people if they actually spend more time with you up close I find & if you make an effort for them.
Yesterday was such a lazy day. It rained all day & I didn't even get to take Arch for a walk. I'll take him for 2 today. We're playing golf with I & J tomorrow.

Very true. Of course at golf you're starting off with a shared hobby and topic of conversation.
Sounds like that rainy day came with perfect timing to give you a nice rest between active days.

That's true, Llama. If we were just sitting around trying to find common ground it would be harder. I have read 2 books in 2 days so it's a good thing I have golf again today

I had another really good day at golf today. It is doing me a lot of good. I am so glad I bought this cart. I think I'll order a rain cover for it in the next couple of days. I love driving it & it is enabling me to play twice a week. It is starting to get quite cool (only 14oC today) so it's time to prepare for winter.

Haha, Em. Thanks for the compliment, but I don't think I am good at golf. I'm not shit at it though. I may have been a good golfer if I had started young. I love it & that's the main thing. My new cart is really enabling me to play twice a week without pain & I do love it. I ordered a rain cover for it today & some rear-vision mirrors.

G & I spent a few hours out at the golf club yesterday & it was great to see a swarm of workers out there. The current committee has stepped up & is doing well. We did a job we have been wanting to do for a while & left when we felt like it.
G has gone off to a different course today & I'm not sure what I'll do. I might take Arch into town, take him to the off-lead dog park & do just a little shopping.

That is certainly good news Cate.

Thanks, Llama. I think they have realised who was at fault. It's good to be treated well. We never really went into what happened so they have probably been left guessing a bit, but they can see us & how we are & have made up their own minds. We both think they're doing a good job.
Thanks, Em. We're doing what we want to out there & I feel really comfortable at the club these days. I was actually standing alone outside on Saturday near the guy who gave us grief & I didn't feel in the slightest bit uncomfortable. We didn't acknowledge one another or speak. It was a bit funny really, but ok. It's good not to feel anything near him.
I headed out to golf yesterday in the fog. It was also really cold. My vote was to go for coffee, but when the majority voted to play I did also. I played with 3 women I wouldn't normally, including B1 again. I hadn't played with A for years & she was very pleasant to me. She is close to B1. I'm glad I played. I won Div 2 again, with an ok score.
We had lots of laughs afterwards & 3 women who don't play anymore visited.

Sounds like an unexpectedly nice day; I like it.
This isn't about winning, of course, but it sure sounds like you won to me
