I played at Stonecreek Golf Club yesterday in Phoenix Arizona. I had played there before on a previous visit but they were doing major renovations. This time the course was in excellent condition and we couldn't have had a more beautiful day.I played with "The Doctor", and a couple of his doctor friends Matt and Zeb. I sometimes get nervous playing in front of new people, but these two guy are hilarious and had me laughing the entire round.
I was upset because I forgot my camera. Like I said the course is well taken care of and the holes with the mountains in the background are gorgeous. Stonecreek has been a supporter of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for Golf Courses since 2008. There are many varieties of birds on the course including Canadian Geese which, I assume, were making a pit stop before continuing further south for the winter.
I played okay. Nothing to write home about. Shot a 92. At this point I get disappointed if I don't break 90 but I wasn't expecting much because I hadn't been able to practice or play much in previous few weeks. Plus I'm still working on my swing change so there is still a little uncertainty about my shots.
The other reason I didn't have any expectations is that I didn't get much sleep the night before. The reason I visit Arizona so often is because that is where my girlfriend lives. We have been in a long distance relationship for the past two years so we visit each other every few months or so. We actually met at The Doctors wedding as were both in the wedding party.
The night before the round my girlfriend and I went out to dinner to celebrate our two year anniversary. We had a nice dinner and after that she wanted to go to another restaurant she loves to go relax by the fireplace. Little did she know she was setting herself up.
When we got to the restaurant, it was empty and the fireplace wasn't lit. She was disappointed but we talked to one of the employees and he was able to light it for us. I went to the bathroom and when I came back she was sitting in front of the fireplace. I walked over and she started to get up. I told her to sit back down and I got on one knee.
I was shaking so bad. Worst than teeing off on the first with everyone watching. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a ring and popped the question. Will you marry me?...and she said YES!!! I felt like Jim Carey in the picture to the right. We were both shaking at this point. She kept on saying, "Are you serious." "Is this for real." It is for real although for both of us I think we both feel like we are in a dream.
After calling our respective families, and waking them up at 1:30 in the morning east coast time because we forgot about the time change we went over to The Doctors house to celebrate with him and his wife who is beginning to make strides on the golf course herself I must say. We ended up hanging out until 3:00AM which meant there would be little sleep before our 10:30AM tee time.
I don't mind shooting a 92 this time. I could have shot 102 and still would have been just as happy. I am grateful to have found the woman of my dreams and on top of that she happens to live in golf heaven. What could be better? Have a great round and always hit your target.
