( I loved the palm tree here, I wanted to take it home)
Yes, this is the only picture of me in the golfing set, but I was too busy making holes - in-one (ha!) I had five total - out of 18. One was on the second shot, since it went all the way to the hole and rolled ALL the way back to me. So the second time I hit it, it went right in.  By number five they all thought I was posessed. BUT - it was all luck for me and Trish is the better golfer, because we tied at 42. But I am obsessed with my putting, so it was a lot of fun.
