T-shirt: “When I woke up today I had no plans to be AWESOME — this just happened.” 😁

Par 3 golf. <shudder> A driver, a putter — how hard could it be? After the third ball headed off to nowhere-near-the-pin, I fell back on my mini-golf skills and just putted like crazy for the rest of the course.

Chipping is a real challenge. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve repeatedly chipped over the same green. I’ve become wise and more eager to just use my putter instead. 😊

I feel privileged to watch paintist’s skills evolving! The minor swarms of “points” hovering around the Muses adds a sense of life to the drawings.

That you carried the dressage experiences on into that paragraph using the verb “spur” put a smile on my face. And your saying that one result was to want to draw a nice Gail card and send same to your former friend/instructor is very “BigJoy.” My first day’s exercise entailed looking for ways to bring warm feelings, happiness, or Joy into the lives of others. Seems a natural instinct for you! Bravo!

Thanks, too, for the link to the video of the woman horse trainer in Patagonia. When I first watched it a while ago on Aeon, I was touched by the overall message of interacting respectfully with those around us. Including horses.

Home Run!! Whoops! Fore!

Thank you for your appreciation! 😊

Golfing was BIG JOY! I scored 48 on 27 par — amazing! Even got on the green with 3 tee shots. My putting and chipping need work. 😂

For your walk today:

“Nature abhors a vacuum, and if I can only walk with sufficient carelessness I am sure to be filled.” ~Henry David Thoreau

Your “walk” is the other four letter word… “Golf!”

“Golf, is a good walk spoiled.”

~Often misattributed to Mark Twain

In my experience, if you can bring a non-attachment attitude to the game it has lots of potential to be fun. 🤩

Donna and I both are super chill. We did keep score and both of us shot par on the ninth hole. 🎉

Other than some Putt Putt adventures and a couple trips to a driving range (and zero instruction) golf is foreign to me! Glad you got out and had such a good time.

There’s something about the hush of a course and all the rules of etiquette that I enjoy.

The golf? It’s fun when I surprise myself with a good shot.

The scorecard? Fogettaboutit!
