Yesterday for lunch, I made a giant salad with all the leftover spinach and vegetables in the fridge. I was about to spend a couple of hours out on the golf course and so I wanted to be fueled and eat something light that wouldn’t make me feel sluggish.
This salad had spinach, black beans, radishes, cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, turkey bacon, hard boiled eggs, and romaine lettuce. I saved half of it to go with dinner.
After lunch, I met up with my dad to play a game of golf. We paid $25 a piece to play on a…cow pasture? I hate complaining, but the lady in the clubhouse was inhumanly rude; I can see why their course is struggling. The clubhouse reeked of cigarettes, and I had just about enough eye rollin’ from the lady in the clubhouse. We should have taken our clubs and golfed somewhere else, but we just sucked it up and prepared ourselves for one hell of a course.
It’s hard to golf with my dad because he makes so many freaking jokes while you’re teeing up that you lose your focus and golf is all about focus. I never get enough “dad” jokes.
Rocked my old golf shoes today. (not that I’d get grass stains or anything…)
The course hadn’t been watered in about…three years. The only “grass” out there was the patches of clovers and dandelions. I refused to use my new clubs and only used my practice clubs on this course because the ground was so hard; it was like swinging over cement. The Tee wouldn’t even go into the ground without breaking.
And when you’re putting…you don’t need to focus on speed or direction. You have to focus on rocks, cracks, and random sand on the “green.”
Yup…that’s their green. It made me thirsty.
I golfed the worse game I’ve ever golfed because of this course. It made since as to why there were only three golf carts on the entire course, us included.
Even though the course sucked and no matter how well you hit, the un-manicured course never let your ball lay and every put was disrupted by a pothole, we still had fun together. We are golfing a MUCH better course today and I’m hoping my game improves.
Call me a Debbie downer, but if you paid that much to golf 9 holes on a cow pasture, you’d be annoyed too.

The closeness you share with your dad is remarkable. I wish I had a father like yours, but mine is abusive. Looks like you had a wonderful time. 🙂
Taralynn McNitt says
🙁 Sorry to hear that Linda. If you’re ever in the south, you can borrow my dad and we will take you golfing! xo

That green makes me cry inside a little. I guess we never run into that problem in Oregon where everything is always green.
Taralynn McNitt says
Lol not all courses out here are like that, it was just a very neglected green 🙁
Nikita Khara says
For $25 I guess you get what you pay for 🙂 I would expect a horrible course for that cost haha
Taralynn McNitt says
For down here, $25 per person without cart for nine holes is a bad deal.
Nikita Khara says
seriously? wow I need to move! haha
Taralynn McNitt says
I usually golf one of nieces courses down here once a month. It only cost $35 a person with cart included!
Nikita Khara says
that’s awesome!! that’s around what one of our crappy nearby courses would be! there is a reason I rarely golf haha. living on a college budget is hard.
Sierra @La Spice Sisters says
WOW! That salad looks amazing!!!!
Kimberly says

Hannah says
Sounds awful, but that salad is on point.
Tim says
That is NOT a golf course! Go to Ballantyne!
Kate says
