The end.....

 6:15 am - Monday - May 22nd - LPGR&VR - 42° F, 83% humidity, wind 3 mph out of the north by northwest......crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 77° F.  On this date in 2012 TLE and I were watching a 'partial' eclipse of the sun at Craters of the Moon National Monument......my phone camera actually, somehow, captured the crescent shape of the sun......↴

See the crescent shape of the sun in that red spot in the picture?

After four days off work the first day back is always a little hectic, especially when your first day back is a busy Sunday.  Saturday, according to Walt, they rented out close to 30 golf carts, and there were still a couple to be washed first thing.  While Sunday wasn't that bad, it was busy with 17 golf carts being rented.  I initially staged 15 carts (finally got back the #21 Yamaha gasser which has been in 'sick bay' for two weeks).  Once the carts were staged, and the two washed, I headed out to do my daily course rounds.  There, surprisingly, were not many duck/goose residuals to be cleared, but the sand traps needed a good raking.  I was back at the Club house by 9:15 am, at which time I staged four more carts, and that seemed to satisfy the demand, as only two of the final 4 were rented.

I made another round of the course as 'marshal', and found everyone to be moving along at a good pace, so I chatted with a few of the groups passing by, then headed back to the Clubhouse to see how the final round of the PGA was going.  It was about 11:45 am, and I wanted to sit and watch the PGA while TLE took her lunch break, so I sent her home early.

Brooks Koepka was still in the lead at the 7th hole,  and as it turned out, he never surrendered the lead the rest of the day, leading by 3 after the 16th.  Ultimately he won by 2 strokes to win his 5th major championship.  He battled a leg injury for a couple of years, but he is now back playing some of the best golf of his career....he finished 2nd at The Masters.

The carts began returning just before lunch time, and by 3:30 pm all of the carts had been returned, and put away....that's the earliest I've had the carts put away in a few weeks.  Since I had time I worked at getting all the carts put away in numerical order so it will be easier, and faster to stage them for TLE....she likes them in numerical order. We always stage the 5 Club Car electrics (1-5) first, then the 10 Yamaha gassers (13, 21, 27, 56, 75, 96, 107, 118, 119 & 140....they were bought used), and then come the Club Car gassers (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, & 30.....28 is in the 'sick bay').  I know, it's kind of weird that I know all those numbers by heart, especially the oddly numbered Yamahas, but it is a gift.  I know TLE's social security number better than TLE....lol.

I started my day at 7:40 am, so at 4:40 pm I was off work, and waiting for TLE to close the office, so I putted for 20 minutes before driving her home.  Sunday was warm, and humid, and by 5 pm I was knackered, as the British are wont to say....heat takes it out of me.  I took a long, hot shower, then sat down in my recliner to vegetate for awhile, and gradually perked up again.

With the end of Sunday we have reached the end of our current heatwave (temps in the low to high 80's), and are now in for a 15 day stretch of mid 70's temps....much more to our liking.

Thanks for stopping by!
