Norm played nine holes of golf and I got to be driver. Routed
on two salt water Bayous, the ninth hole is the most scenic of the three 9s at
the A C Read, 27 hole course. Although
the course was originally built for the Navy they opened it up to the public
just a few years ago. What a privilege to golf here!
This is the dry season, so the grass had a somewhat “scorched
earth” appearance, but it was beautiful just the same. It’s old growth oak draped in Spanish Moss,
and not only one of the most beautiful courses in the Navy, but in the entire
Pensacola region. It was a perfect 73 degree, sunny day that could not have
been better.
The only glitch was when I ran over Norm’s foot with the
golf cart, or, as my version goes – Norm got his foot under my cart. No serious harm, but he doesn’t want to let
me forget it! I told him it was his “best
drive of the day.”
Dinner followed golf at The Oar House which has a real "Jimmy Buffet" sort of feel. Delicious fish n chips for me and Paella for Norm. We sipped down a few suds then drove back to our winter home tired but content. It was a very good day.
