A Great Day

Today was a 10. I love being on the golf course on a day like today. The temperature was in the 70s, no humidity, puffy white clouds in a clear blue sky.

The pleasure of the atmosphere tempers the quality of the golf. Sure, we keep score, but we also take time to enjoy the scenery, the fellowship and the commiseration of missed opportunities.

It's a time warp, really, getting away from the run-of-the-mill, the press of events. Just a few hours of muddling through 18 holes is joy enough.
