I Went Golfing on 10-30 with Jason and Zach and Alex

We stopped playing after hole #12, which was a terrible par 5 - I teed off twice and twice, I lost a ball. It was awful. Alex wanted to get back home to Des Moines so we made that be our last hole. I gave myself par+2 for holes 13 - 18.

A Little Secret

I am tired of COVID-19.

On April 25, which was awesome weather, my friend Brian Rock* asked me if I wanted to go hit a bucket of golf balls at Quail Creek in North Liberty. Eventually, I realized that doing so would mean I would touch a lot of dirty balls.

I declined.

Does COVID-19 live on a golf ball? If one golf ball has it, do they all have it in the bucket?

When I reread this in the future, I hope I think those are silly questions. 

To timestamp this moment in my life, there is now a lot of talk about reopening businesses. The date for working Some say, "Yes, I own a business and if I don't re-open, I will lose my livelihood." Others say, "No, everyone needs to stay at home for another N months, so we can eradicate this virus."

As I've described elsewhere, I am cursed with seeing both sides to pretty much any topic. In this case, I can't imagine being the owner of a business that was forced to close and sitting and waiting for the news that I can re-open. I also don't want people to go "back to normal" (if that can even exist) and to think that "we beat this virus and I can do every thing I did before."

I don't know the right answer to the question, "When should a state re-open?" I wish a time machine because if I did, I could go to that date, remember it, and then return to the present to tell everyone when it will be safe.

*By the way, that's not his actual last name, but I refer to him as "Brian Rock" on this blog because I had to distinguish him from "Brian Guitar" who played in Lou's Classic Ride. If you knew his last name, you would call me clever.

From the Archives

It's dreary outside, which seems like a good reason to recall what I was doing 260 days (8 months, 2 weeks, 1 day) ago, which was June 25, 2019. On this day, Alex, Louis, and I went golfing in Clermont, IA.

Last Night on the GC

Last night, Alex and I played golf on the Quail Creek Golf Course. He won - shooting a 60 and I shot a 64. I tell people that I want my 20 year-old son to play better than me, a nearly 50 year-old dad.

This is a picture of how gorgeous of a night it was on the golf course.
