Today my boss and I went to play golf at a course that neither of us have ever played. As usual there were surprises, but thankfully this time it worked out pretty nice.

We got to the first tee box to find that we were being paired with another pair, randomly. Well, that’s  not really great because i’m a horrid golfer and I don’t want to hit the links with some hardcore retired guys who play 108 holes a week. When the other guys showed up I knew i’d be okay. One guy I spotted right away as a musician. Two earrings, fluffed hair with a visor and a goatee. Got to be a musician… just had that vibe. The other guy I didn’t get a vibe on, but he didn’t seem the hardcore type.

Turns out I was right. The one guy was Todd, the drummer from a hot new band called Heartland. The other guy was really that.. just a guy who Todd worked with before he started pursuing his dream of being a full time musician. It was an enjoyable time, I played pretty well after about hole 5 or 6. The first few holes were just embarrasing. I started to just drive the cart back to the pro shop, get some cold beer and drive the cart around for the boss. Thankfully I got my drive dialed in and most of the time after that I at least had  a good drive, even if my short game is still embarrasing.

Overall, a pretty good day.
