Well, I was able to get out for another round today when Dana, David and Daniel went to an Aquarium in Sarasota. This allowed me to hit a different course. I dropped the kids off at about 10:50 and headed off to the course. As I was getting closer I thought to myself, this neighbourhodd is getting a little sketchy. Anyway I find the park it is well marked which was good. As I drive into the parking lot there is this dilapidated Nissan Sentra in the parking lot with 2 people sitting in the car looking at me. I thought to myself that I was going to be robbed or worse killed. By the time I got my cleats on and started to make my way to the 1st hole they decided they were done watching and drove off. I started to play and I must say this was a very nice course some interesting things to be noted to change the course up with minimal cost. They had 2 concrete tee pads and 2 basket locations. This allows for 4 different holes with a semi permanent course. This time I brought some beer with me. On the 5th hole I cracked it open, and had it finished by the 6th hole, but there was no place to put it down while I was playing. There was no-one there playing when I arrived however by the time I started on the back nine there was another car that pulled into the parking lot. I heard this sound, I thought I have heard this before. I looked into the distance into the parking lot and this new car was getting packing saran wrapped around one of the doors. I thought to myself WTF. I am going to be killed here and never see my wife and kids again. On my way to the 15th hole I see this guy sitting at a picnic table reading a newspaper with a keyboard, bike and a can of beer in a paper bag. I was thinking oh dear what is going to happen, he was very polite and told me this was the worst hole on the course because the trees bark. I tee off and think I hit a tree about 20 feet infront of me. I felt like Rage as I think I might have hit every tree on the course! Final round was +16 with one disc OB, landing in a shit creek. Good thing I made it back to pick up Dana and the kids by 12:30 and we then went and spent a pile of money at SuperTarget.

definition of a pile of money

i know nothing can be done to salvage my reputation as a shopaholic HOWEVER!!! In this instance, a pile of money included at least a weeks worth of food for his infant son, 2 packages of training pants and new underwear for his toddler, a spare sheet set for the aforementioned, in the process of being potty trained toddler, beer for hmmm... HIM, new shorts for hmmmm... HIM.... ok I did pick up one cute shirt BUT IT WAS ON SALE!!!! :) that is all I have to say about this visit to Super Target.
ps. he makes me check his spelling before he posts (have you ever known jk to spell dilapidated Kev?) and he totally added that in after I checked it!!!!
pps. note also that the beer he purchased that I talked him into a 6 pack instead of a 12 pack comes on the heels of the two 24s of Busch he bought yesterday at Walmart - we are only here for another week and the fridge is COMPLETELY full of beer and 2.97 wine. Granted the Busch was on sale 10.98 for 24 but still!

JK - sounds like you need to get to work on finishing off that beer. Like Dana said - only a week or so to go. Lets see...36/7 = a little over 5 beer a day if you're the only one drinking it. That's reasonable - especially considering it is american beer. :)
P.S. Dana - glad to hear you are spell checking JK's posts, but can I suggest you also check for grammar and just general 'making sense'? Hehe

Why was the guy drinking beer on the course sketchy? Weren't you drinking beer on the course? How do you know that dude wasn't looking at you with four days growth and drinking beer and thinking "Oh God, I'm about to die..."
