    We took some time this morning, November 29th, to hit the links near our Kissimmee Florida home. We needed to get out doors and chase the little white ball around.

    Today, December 13th, we decided to get out of the house and play a round of golf. As most of you probably already know, it can sometimes get wet in Oregon in the winter, and that was the case today. Although it did not rain on us, the course was very wet and there were… Read more
