I had a blast “playing” golf this afternoon! 😎
In honor of Women’s Golf Month, three of my girlfriends and I signed up for a “Ladies Clinic” at TPC Boston. The cost of the event was FREE and was open to women of all skill levels. The 3-hour session was perfect for a beginner like me. I learned SO MUCH and it inspired me to take some one-on-one lessons with a golf pro very soon. I’m terrible, but golf is so fun!
On the drive down to TPC Boston, I got excited about my Mapquest directions via iPhone. Best.gadget.ever!
TPC Boston is fancy-schmancy! You should have seen Mal’s face when I told him where I spent the afternoon! He was very jealous!
FYI: TPC stands for Tournament Players Club, a chain of American public and private golf clubs operated by the PGA Tour. I didn’t know any of this until today, which is why I am sharing it with you!
About 75 women attended the golf clinic this afternoon, but I think I was the only one without a bag of clubs. 😳 Luckily, my friends shared with me!
After a little stretching, the women broke into 5 smaller groups to learn some golf fundamentals:
- Full Swing Techniques
- Short Game
- Bunker Play
- Putting Contest
- Course Rules and Etiquette Session
After the clinic, the group enjoyed some cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the clubhouse.
At the post-clinic reception, I enjoyed a beer and some cheese and cracker nibbles.
Dinner
After the ladies golf clinic, I arrived home to my wonderful husband cooking dinner for the two of us. Mal is the BEST! 😀
Mal made Simply Asia Spicy Szechwan Noodles to which he added green peppers, snap peas, and red onion, and placed atop a bed of chopped romaine.
The meal was fantastic, but not very spicy as advertised.
I drank a small glass of white wine with dinner.
I’m not sure what my plan is for the night. Mal and I might get together with friends, but my super early morning is starting to catch-up with me. I’d almost rather watch a movie and go to bed early! Sounds like a crazy Saturday night, right?
Enjoy the evening, guys!
