Memorial Day Activities

Our American soldiers serve, fight and fall to protect every Citizen’s rights and give us all the freedom to pursue happiness. In remembrance of the ones who fell, I thought it was fitting to pursue my own happiness – so I played golf.

Of all three weekend days to play, Monday was the prettiest and I felt beckoned to the golf course. I answered, and played a lovely round at Tierra Rejada. As I’ve seen at professional tournaments that take place on American holidays, each flag stick was adorned with a United States flag. I got paired up with two guys from England and whether or not they had American Citizenship, they appreciated the symbolic gesture by the course and only lamented that they couldn’t tell where the flag was placed on the green. I was uncomfortable placing the flag stick on the ground, but without caddies to hold them it was inevitable.

Everything just felt right about the day. In fact, I think I was supposed to play golf. You see, while I remembered our heroes, I also remembered how to swing a golf club. More on that later.

Next post.
