Today I had a golf tournament with my mother and our friend, Peggy.  What a great day!  It was warm, and sunny, and beautiful.  we have done this tournament for a few years now, and sometimes it is miserable.  It's usually the first Tuesday of September.  Last year it was so windy the ball fell off the tee a few times in the wind!  The year before I wore my jacket on my legs like pants, and golf gloves like mittens.
I am not a good golfer.  I manage to hold my own, most of the time.  But, I am fun!  And Funny (scrappin' friends!).  So, I go along for comedic relief.  My mom and I do a few tournaments a year together.  The ones where she really wants to win; she does not invite me!  My mother is an excellent golfer.  Lots of people know her, and know that she is good.  She's a ringer.  I am not.  I have no natural ability, at all.  None.  Zip.  Zero.  
In fact, a few years ago my dad was worried about why I wasn't getting any better!  He even took my mom aside and asked her, "why isn't Kandi getting any better at this game??".  I simply don't care.  At all.  I'm just happy to get out.  But, because it was worrying my dad, and I do no like to like a fool, I started to try.
Today was fun.  We won our flight!  We actually won money!  And, in a crazy act of luck, I took $20 and brought it to the casino, and won $100!  I now have enough money to buy all of my fence posts for the goat fence.  What a great day!  Thanks mom!  Thanks Peggy!  Thanks to Haylie for babysitting, for for Eric for always supporting whatever craziness I get myself into.
