Happy birthday to my dad! He and Mom came over to Ames last night for our planned day today of helping Dad celebrate with an excellent-as-usual breakfast at The Grove Cafe, followed by nine holes of golf at Veenker Memorial Golf Course. The course is still recovering from the recent flooding, but they have nine holes open, 1-6 and 12-14, and you can't beat the $10 greens fee.
I managed to win one hole based on golf strokes, but Dad definitely won overall in that category, as he did last year on his birthday outing in Ames. I'm pretty sure he also did better in the not-losing-golf-balls department too. It was still a fun day with great weather, and Mom and Amy enjoyed riding in the carts with us around the course. We look forward to doing it again next year!
I'd better start working on my golf game as soon as the ground thaws in 2011 if I want to keep up though...
