Memorial Day Weekend - 2015

I've got a lot of catching up to do here so I'm going to make the next few short and sweet. Back around May, when this should have been written, Jillian got herself a set of golf clubs. Her first set. Because we hadn't used them yet, we decided to break them in over Memorial Day weekend. We didn't want to spend a lot of money so our options were a little limited. In the end, we settled on the Gulf State Park course in Gulf Shores AL. Neither of us had ever been there, so it would be exciting for both of us.
The course itself wasn't terrible for $26/person including cart fee. The greens were a little beat up, but it looked like they were in the process of cleaning them up. That didn't help us though. We decided early on that we should just play best ball to speed up the process and make it enjoyable for both of us. Overall, I thought we played quite well as a couple. We even birdied one of the long par three's on the back nine. I cleared the water hazard landing about 20 feet (Jillian says more like 100) from the hole and Jillian sunk the following put. We both found it to be extremely impressive. The final score card was not worth keeping so I can't tell you how things ended. Moving on...

As if golf wasn't enough celebration, Jillian capped off the weekend with a nice steak dinner.
