A not so triumphant return to golf

I got up at 0215 this morning.  I got dressed and got in the car and drove four hours to Wiesbaden, Germany to play in the 5th Signal Command Golf Scramble.  My battalion commander and our operations NCOIC are both extremely good golfers.  The CSM and myself just enjoy playing.  I realized tonight that the last time I played golf, I was on R&R from my tour in Iraq.  The last time I consistently played golf was the summer of 2008 (CHBOLC).  With that in mind, I'm fairly proud that I only lost two balls in eighteen holes.  Unfortunately, we finished well behind the leaders.  One of our two ringers had an off day.

I didn't particularly like the course, but it was nice to be playing golf again.  I've got to figure out a way to get a membership at one of the golf clubs in Belgium.  It costs way too much money, but I really enjoyed a day on the course again.

Otherwise, this week has been as busy as I expected.  We've had noon and end of the workday prayer services for Holy Week.  I finally got around to getting my ankle checked.  (Mainly due to threats from Emily).  It's fine.  Emily was over-reacting to pain that wasn't even hers.  (I'm seeing if she actually reads the blog, which I doubt).

Emily was right, if the ankle is ok why are you having to have an MRI on it? Glad you enjoyed the day of golf. Love you guys, Mother
