Guess I need to go take more horse pictures as I think this is the last new one I have. Hell, I may have even posted it already! Aging is such a wondeful thing! 😦

A group of us, loosley called the Red Owl rejects, went on our annual trip to Deadwood to watch the single steer roping, or tripping, yesterday. Afterwards, we go find a local golf course, who hasn’t heard of us and pretend we know how to play the game and shoot a round of golf. They do make us take off our boots and wear shoes, but most of us still wear our hats.

Great fun and we don’t worry too much about the score, but I am pleased to announce that my partner and I won the 9 hole match with a score of 44 or 45. There was a little whining by our opponents when they discovered we had tee’d off on the womens tee on one hole, but hey, I ain’t going to walk up a hill to whack a ball where the mens tee was! We just added one stroke to our score to keep it even. And besides, we didn’t tell them guys they couldn’t tee off the woman’s tee!

We played best ball, which amounts to, who ever hits the best laid ball between partners, is the ball you use and make your score on. My partner could really whack that little sucker, and I was fairly efficient at chipping. We both got some lucky putts on the green.

By the way, Rich Skerton won the tripping.

It was a great day, a little on the warm side, but of course, that just made the beer taste better. 😉
