Week 17

     Golfing is a dirty, dirty game. You try to score a "hole in one" and they call the clubs "woodies". Oh wait, the clubs are called woods, not "woodies"...there I go again with my raunchy mind. I golfed for the first time this weekend! I joined my cousins, Richard, Mark and Leslie, and we went to a benefit tournament in Sac town. And since it was my very first time playing this sport it seemed only appropriate to suit up for the occasion and wear a dress. I never thought I would ever be a golfer, or enjoy playing golf, but it turns out that it is super fun.

    For starters, we arrived at the tournament and we were given  breakfast burritos, Bloody Mary's and even extra mini bottles of Skyy Vodka for the road! They had me at breakfast burritos. But it gets better. At every other hole there were snacks like spicy chicken wings, chips, cookies and brownies. Oh yeah, and there were ice cold beers in coolers too. And it didn't hurt that there was a golf cart that would zoom around and constantly deliver margaritas to us. Like I said before, I really like golf.

    And hitting the ball was a real hoot too. You put it on this peg, I reckon it's called a tee, and then you have a go at balancing your buzz, try and focus...then you hit the ball! You get as many attempts as you like and if the ball doesn't go as far as you had hoped, then you get to just kick it like a soccer ball down the green. And when someone is about to swing it is customary to cheer them on (just like in rock climbing), "Get it! You totally got this, come on!!" It's great to motivate your competitors. And screw the score cards; it's about lots of fun, team spirit and margaritas. I love golf. 

Yup, that's me! I'm a golfer! Swinging at the balls and wearing a dress with tennis shoes

And thanks to my good friend Sigal, who was visiting from Pennsylvania, I had another excuse to wear a dress earlier in the week! We went out on the town in Mill Valley and sipped whiskey by the fire. What a tough week. And I think I may of finally caught up to my expected-average dress count!
