Snow Stops Play by jamibann

Snow Stops Play

I spent most of the day at the golf club, yesterday, but as you can see I wasn't playing golf! This is the 18th green, just in front of the club house.

My friend Gillian and I were responsible for organising the Ladies' Section Christmas Party. You may remember my concerns about the the photo quiz. It went down well ... some recognised very few of the photos, others an average number, and one lady (surprise, surprise, a photographer ...) got 22 correct out of 24. So, I guess I pitched the difficulty about right. People were amazed that they had never noticed some of the very simple, everyday things that I'd photographed - including the handle of the air nozzle used for cleaning trolleys and shoes when coming off the golf course.

We had a nice traditional meal, a game of pass the parcel, some indoor chipping and putting games, a ping pong ball game (No, not beer pong!) and a hoopla bottle game. I won a bottle of Prosecco with my first throw of the ring. Woo Hoo.

Our son arrived last night at midnight after a long journey on train and bus from London. He was glad we had waited up for him, but even happier that we weren't planning to stay up. We all hugged and went straight to bed. I'm so happy he's here for a while. Hoping for a snow walk with him today. :-)

It's my friend Alison's birthday today. She's having a great time over in the US as their first grandchild was born there about 10 days ago. A wonderful gift for her. She doesn't want to leave though!
Wonderful scene and background, and just right for the Christmas Party. I'm glad your photo quiz was well accepted, an looking at the results, you did just right.
So good to read, that your son arrived safe and that you can enjoy his company over this festive time. (And you get maybe even a little help in snow shoveling, etc.) Have a great weekend, and enjoy the first snow hike of the season.

It would take a bit of finding the ball for sure! Thanks for sharing your Xmas story.

I thought golfers were tough and wouldn’t let a little bit of snow stop them. Great photo and great narrative. Thanks.

Your Christmas party sounded like a great success.

Definitely not a golf playing day. You would never find the ball.

No golf today! Your photo quiz sounds a great idea, a lots of other ideas for keeping folk entertained indoors.

Beautiful fresh snow. At Squaw Valley they open the snow covered golf course for cross country skiing and snow shoeing.

I have just had son #2 and family for the weekend. I want to move to Kentucky even more now so I understand your friend's wish to stay stateside. Glad to hear the game came off well- I thought it was a great idea!
