I flew home from a business trip to Florida Friday just in time to enjoy a weekend of golf with more than 20 women from the Seattle EWGA chapter who came to enjoy our pleasant summer weather and golf at our very reasonably-priced courses. Some of the girls started their weekend early by playing Palouse Ridge on Thursday. They loved it; who could blame them. So jealous I couldn’t be there.

Coeur d’Alene Public was Friday’s course du jour. Again I’m jealous, because I didn’t get home in time to join them at one of my favorite courses. Finally, I got to connect with them Saturday at an early morning shotgun start at The Links in Post Falls. While I am very fond of The Links and play it often, it proved to be a challenge for many of the more experienced Seattle golfers and basically handed the not so experienced golfers their lunch.

A burger burn helped soothe the pain and all was forgiven. Not having enough golf for one day, a few girls headed to Hangman for another 18 holes. The Highlands hosted our Sunday outing, and proved to be a weekend favorite for many of the players. My lucky high bounce off the cart path to within a few feet of the pin on hole 14 earned me the K-P prize which consisted of a cooler filled with a hodge-podge of adult beverages. I will enjoy a few of those as I sit and think about how I look forward to next year when our sisters from Seattle join us for our third annual Seattle-Spokanarama.
