Golf

I finally dusted off my clubs this week and went golfing. It was very fortuitous that I met Nancy at Clare's wedding and it turns out Nancy golfs in the ladies league here in town. Yay! It also turns out that things are relaxed here and, because there is space, I can join now. Double yay!

Mountain View (one of two in town) was pretty nice. We played the back 9 which was fine, although I hear the other 9 are a lot prettier with views of the Yukon River. The fairways were in amazing condition since it hasn't rained here in weeks and weeks. The greens were in good condition too, although I really have to get used to all the sand (that is a lot of what constitutes dirt up here). I was grateful that they seem to do a terrific job of clearing the brush on either side of the course (it was a pretty rough first outing with a pretty low cost per stroke).

Both Nancy and Carol have a lot more skill than I do, so I have my work cut out for me, which is good I suppose. But then again, any game that begins and ends with beer can't be all that bad.
