Golf; Halfway

I should write up these blogs more, but I frequently feel very apathetic and forget to write these.


So, here is my June update:

On Monday, the 8th, some friends and I went to the Pioneer Park.  First we ate some Souvlaki:

It's a Greek food place.  Souvlaki lamb with onions and tomatoes in a pita wrap (not sure if the food named the restaurant, or the other way around).  There was some similar food, such as falafel, as well as Souvlaki tacos, which were the food I described above but in a taco.  For non-adventurous people, there were hot dogs.

The mini-golf course five of us (inclusive) played through.  It was rustic in every sense of the word, but still very fun.  Up until a bit before we started playing it was raining.  We were all really glad it stopped.

Windmill to shoot through towards the hole at the end.

I'm red here, you can see me on the purple carpet next to the planter.  I don't know if you guys can see it, but there was a bit of a lip to overcome that was tough.  Also, you see there is a bankshot in the corner.  I found those to be false friends and unhelpful.

My friends said there were no bonus points for making it in the bucket :(

Be sure your Tetanus shots are up to date prior to using this course.

You see the pan in the middle under the arch?  There were many holes that had mechanical obstacles, but none of them were working.  I wasn't complaining, but it would have been nice to have that added challenge to the holes.

You can see it at the farmost right; there is a hump in the carpet.  Perhaps due to moisture, or poor installation, the carpet was curling.  This added an unintended challenge to sinking the ball.

I did not make it through the straight shot on that pipe, but rather towards the right, about where you can see David is putting his green ball.

Putting.  We set little leaves or grass under balls when we needed to move other's balls so as to make a clear shot.

I made a hole-in-one on this one.  I was really happy to do so, because on the previous hole, I went way over par.  If you go up to the first picture, you see there is a hole in the middle with a loop de loop.  We had a mercy rule/ time saving rule that, on the fifth shot, if you didn't make it, you got a five.  My first two shots, I simply couldn't get enough power in my swing to make it through the loop.  On my third I did, but after that, I just couldn't sink it.  I think it was the only one I went over par.  Overall, I did end up under par, and in second place among my friends.  I really found the whole experience fun and was glad I got to hang out with my UCM friends again.

Me on a wooden salmon.  Probably not life-sized.  

So, as of this weekend, I will be halfway through my Biology class, five eighths of the way through my summer session, and twenty-three twenty-sixths of the way since I started in January.  I really long to be done,  This is the longest stretch I've ever been away from home.  July 4th can't come soon enough.
