Golf highlights busy weekend

When I checked my voicemail and heard Ty say, "9:02 tee time on Saturday," I had to press one to repeat the message. Surely, he didn't mean a.m. For goodness sakes, it's Saturday. But that's what he said and that's what we did, which meant I was up at 7:30 a.m. on my best sleep-in day of the week to make a 9:02 tee time at Crooked Hollow in Greenwood.

The first few holes were a little rocky. It had been a year since I swatted at that little white ball and there were plenty of kinks to work out. However, but the fifth hole I'd found a decent rhythm. My tee shots were right up the middle, my approach shots usually got me where I wanted to be and well, my putting left something to be desired.

But, ultimately, I had a wonderful time -- even at 9:02 a.m. Now I'm craving a few more rounds.

My weekends are typically busy, but this weekend I never stopped. Friday night I went to Jayne Marie on Cross Lake to watch Quiet Company and The New Frontiers. Both bands were amazing. They're worth checking out and definitely worth a download. I'll review their albums later this week.

After golf Saturday, I celebrated my friend Suzanna's birthday, which landed me at an unlikely location before we made it to our usual spot Stray Cat. I took it easy Sunday by accompanying my pals Bevin and Kate to see "Juno." It's hard to categorize the movie. On one hand it's an off the wall comedy, much like "Napoleon Dynamite," but it's also warm and sensitive at other points. Our gang loved it. Bevin, who said she never laughs out loud at movies, loved it and laughed her head off.

I did a little bit of everything this weekend, maybe next weekend will slow down a bit.
