October is here!

Well, after a confusing rally of figuring out if we can all gather at the same course to play before sun down, Mark and I ended up playing at Rosland. It was windy and cold, our first feeling of fall. After the warmest September in Minnesota history (I just made that up), we began on our journey. Smack! My first drive of the night, I hit a tree about 40' out. I never throw that far to the left, what was I thinking? My disc ricocheted even farther to the left... Mark was up next. SMACK!!!! Mark hit the tree 10' in front of the t-box. Wow, this was a good start. With a bogie/double bogie on the first hole, we headed on to hole 2. Mark ended up having the shot of the night with a fantastic 25' putt to save par. Well done Mark. With sunflowers in hand (and in mouth), we continued playing our round as the night continued to get more brisk. It was a good time, but it was more of a realization that the season is quickly ending. We finished 9 holes and before Mark could get his whole sentence out that he didn't really want to play another 9, I said oh yeah - it's too cold to play 18 and it's getting dark. I shot +1 and Mark shot +4. Hopefully we can all play Blue Ribbon Pines one more time this year, but as I look out our window as we speak, I see snow covered grass and cars. It's October 10th. sick.
