Dahl is one of my favorite authors of children's books. He used his belief in magic to the max.
I had a lovely Sunday, starting with a relaxing morning of writing and reading. I headed out to Holly Ridge Golf Links, where I managed to get on as a single, joining a couple who originally came from Sweden 30-some years ago. They are a lovely pair, and they spoke Swedish to each other. Eva said they wouldn't teach me "bad words" in Swedish, even though I said I'd like that. To get to play, I joined them on hole #4. This is an important factor in what followed later...
After playing through #18, I still needed to play holes 1-2-3. I snuck in between two groups, played the holes, then started back in the cart around the golfers behind me so that I wouldn't get hit. This took me to the road leading up to the clubhouse. When I was about 2/3 of the way up the hill, the cart locked up on me. The screen said I was in a restricted area, and the cart was locked. I let it roll backwards into the grass, so that it wasn't blocking the way for cars. Then I lugged my clubs up the hill to my vehicle. I went into the clubhouse and told them where their cart was. I guess they are freakishly paranoid about someone stealing a golf cart. Geez! It was a lovely round on a beautiful day finished off with a completely-new-to-me experience.
Today I drive to Atlanta and go to the Braves-Giants game tonight.
Having fun!
