The sport of champions...or ladies and gentlemen...whatever.

Golf. Wow! After years and years, (boy, am I SO old!) golf is still my favorite sport. Of course, football has become a close second, but golf remains at the top of the list.

Here's an example of how beautiful Indiana can be in the fall. Mark and our friend, Bryan, and I went out last fall to enjoy the scenery and try to survive "The Fort" - a fantastic course on the NE side of Indy. It reminds me a lot of the course I grew up playing - challenging and incredibly gorgeous.
Have you ever noticed how hard it is to look good with a hat on? Oh my - at least, how hard it is to look good after you take the hat off? Really...the hat totally messes up your hair - and gives you a crazy ring around your head - and there's nothing you can do about it until you take a shower and start from scratch. *sigh*

It's so sad. So sad. I love the beautiful fall colors in the background of this pic - while standing on the tee of some crazy hole after Mark got stuck in a sand trap and could barely get out. We were laughing so hard at how badly he was stuck in the side of the trap - part of his ball was in the sand, and part was embedded in the long grass on the edge of the trap. He had to pop the ball up immediately to give it any chance of getting on the short grass - and it took a few tries - maybe 4 or 5, I was laughing too hard to remember. *giggle* I can hardly wait until the next "Fall Courtney Classic"!

Looks nice, but what's with the sweatshirt? We play the 19th hole in shorts/t-shirts all winter long in AZ!
