Hickory Hills Golf Outing 5/24

Here are some photos from our golf outing yesterday. We started golfing our 18 holes at 4pm. When we arrived, we were so very nicely instructed to take the first row of carts. (How does one note sarcasm in a blog?). So, our options were 16 or 3. We opted for #3 because April wasn't with us. Aren't we nice?! We didn't know the power it would have in store later.
The front nine took us 3 hours to play. We did let three groups play through, Amy and I drank 6 beers and three golf balls lost, total. The back nine we opted to play best ball. The back nine we played in a record breaking 1 hour 45 minutes. PGA watch out! I can't remember how many golf balls we lost in the second half of our game. But, we ended the day having found 4 golf balls, drinking 18 beers, losing the cooler 3 times, going over the bridge on the back 3 times, almost tipping the cart once, Amy falling out of the cart once, and eating combos, pretzels, and starburts so no one would eat their own arm off. Ooh, I almost forgot to mention the scores. A-ha ha ha. Too funny. Scores? Like we kept score!
After our 5 hours at the golf course, we decided to dine at a new establishment in Eau Claire. I think it's called Grizzly's although, I'm not sure. Maybe one of the others will remember. It was an amazingly fun day. Great idea Mik, thanks for putting it together!!!

The beer cooler we dumped out of the cart three times. Amy only once. LOL

Look who magically appeared because we used the #3 Cart. I wonder if there is a Brett Favre or Peyton Manning cart anywhere. Hmmm.
April was magically in town to celebrate Bernie's retirement. Congratulations to Bernie. If you can't sell the Matco truck, we did come up with some options at Grizzly's.
