Let Us Give Thanks for the Game of Golf

To paraphrase Mark Twain, the rumors of this blog's death have been greatly exaggerated. This blog was just on a little hiatus, a work hiatus. I've been quite busy at work the past several months, and, unfortunately, my golf game and my son's golf game have suffered. (Read all about my work at my other blog.)

Well, I decided to make amends during the Thanksgiving holiday. During last Thanksgiving, my son and I played 54 holes at Deep Cliff, an executive 18-hole course in Cupertino, California. I didn't quite get in 54 holes this Thanksgiving, but my son and I did get out to the links. After a long day of "swing therapy" on the driving range, we played 18 holes at Moffett Field today. Moffett Field is a US Navy base that is home to a blimp hangar, wind tunnels and a nice 18-hole golf course.

It turned out to be a nice day for golf-- sunny and in the 50's and 60's. My son and I posted some decent scores as well. I was on track to break 100, but I dropped quite a few shots on the last 3 holes. At the end, I posted a 105. My son posted a personal best 120 at Moffett. So, all in all, it was a good day for golf. Now, we're back home playing Call of Duty 4 on the PS3.
