Soulful Sunday - in our 50's and still friends

Today is a special day for me and my childhood friend.  For the first time we will be golfing at a course here in the Bay area.  He called me last week and invited me to play in a golf tournament sponsored by a group that he belongs too.  It will be a great time for sure because I have known this friend since we were 5 or 6 years old.  The last time I saw him was in 2008 while I as visiting Jeff for a couple of weeks.  One of our other childhood friend organized a dinner for all of us to meet and reconnect again.  We all grew up in this little town outside the Metro Manila area called Muntinlupa meaning a small piece of land.  We all went to the same elementary school but different grades.  We played a lot including all our brothers and sisters and it was one big happy group of kids that enjoyed our childhood.  When I left to emigrate to Canada, they all chose to move to California.  Through the years we have kept in touch even if it's only once a year or every few years.  We manage to share life's ups and downs whenever we reconnect by phone or email or in person.  It is really amazing that even if we don't connect for a very long time, when we do, it's like it was just old times.  We reminisce and share memories from our childhood and still be able to laugh about it but sometimes share some tears for the loss of our loved ones.

We shall start our day with breakfast at the Lookout Restaurant at the golf course.  Then register for the tournament.  We will probably practice some putting, chipping or even go to the range to hit a small bucket of balls.  Since I don't know anyone else, I will of course ride the same cart with him.  There will be a lot of catching up with stories in between holes or during breakfast and lunch.  The weather forecast is sunny all day and a temperature is 76F or 26C.  It will be nice if our team wins but I kinda doubt that because I am just there for the fun as well as my friend.   I am hoping that my putting works, my drives are straight, my fairway shots long, my chipping has some heights, and my bunker shot only once.

What's my outfit you might ask?  I plan to wear the pinks.  I am sure my son in law is already cracking up just reading this part.  He knows exactly what this outfit is all about.  Pink skort, pink top, pink hat, pink flipflop, pink socks, pink gloves, pink golf balls, and pink tees.  

Just wearing the pink hat - no time to switch purse

Maybe I will remember to take some good photos of this day and possibly post it by next week.  Enjoy your Sunday and I hope you are having as much fun as I am.
