Golfing in Rhode Island
Last friday I played golf with my brother Arthur (Turp), and our good friend Bob Miller. I played lousy, i.e. not being able to get any good Tee shots, and my putting was also off. On the 18th hole at Meadowbrook CC in Richmond, RI, Bob tee'd off with an iron and dropped it about 10 feet from the pin. It's a par 3 hole, about 175 yards. It my turn next and I used a 5 iron off the Tee and I dropped it about 5 feet from the hole. Then it was a putting duel between Bob and myself, and he went first and dropped it in. Considering how lousy I had been playing all day, the pressure was on when I stepped up to putt. I dropped it in for a birdie and finished off a beautiful, albeit not so successful, day. It was an almost perfect September day with lots of blue sky and cumulous clouds. Fall is about the best season of the year in Rhode Island - but that's a comparative statement because every season is super in Rhode Island.
