Hot day at Bayhill

The best way to watch a golf tournament is to arrive early, set up under a tree with a blanket and a source of water, and watch everyone who goes by from your well chosen location. The worse way is to arrive at eleven and try to follow your favorite, fighting your way through the throngs of people who have decided to do likewise, and hope to find a good location to watch his second hit and approach shots and also his putts. Guess which of these two options we followed yeseterday at the BayHill Invitational? Well it was hot on Arnold's course yesterday...very very hot. Standing for hours is hard on old bones. I can walk but I can't stand. We left Davenport at ten or thereabouts; off to Universal for parking and then the shuttle to the course. Great so far. Once there, we watched the driving range for awhile and got to see Phil and Mike and Ernie and Tiger practice (all of our best friends; first name basis of course) and then followed Phil. Along with thousands of others. The course goes through Bayhill and the homes which are backed by the course are amazing. A few enterpreneural children were selling water over their fences for $1 a bottle, compared to $2.50 at every concession stand. They likely made enough money for their trip to .....? certainly not Florida. Where DO these kids go on their March break? I must ask Laura. Anyway we dragged our bodies back to the shuttle pick-up at about three-thirty and then to the Orlando Ale House for a sit-down and a cold drink. LONG day. It was close to six by the time we got back. A little rest and a shower; bridge and then bed. Vacation....gotta love it. High humidity is supposed to break in a day or so and the forcast is saying low 80's all next week. By the time we leave next week, we won't have seen the 70's even once, in the daylight hours.

We are off this morning to have breakfast with the Florida Family. We don't evpect to be there all day but hope to get out and walk around Lake Eola perhaps and get some quiet time with a market perhaps thrown in for variety.

I see on the tube that The Hunger Games opened last night...not too sure about that one. Seems to be what they are calling a teen flick although the book was popular with all ages.

So time to suit up. It's another good looking day out there but I know it's hot already. Be back later today and tomorrow is a home day. HOpe things are good where you are reading...I am not getting much email from anyone so it's hard to know who's out there but this is me fulfilling my duty of keeping people informed!! Skype in less than a week and a half!!
