Day Trip!!!

Tuesday is now designated as "our" golf day.  I am actually playing golf.   Last week we went to Hot Springs Village and this week we ventured to Heber Springs/Greer's Ferry Lake to Tannenbaum Golf Club. It is actually just this side of  Drasco.

I got bored with hitting golf balls at the range.  I need to play.  So far, so good!  I doing pretty good with my tee shots and my putting.  It's the "tween" (in between the tee and the green) shots that need work.   


When I am having a playing lesson, we play at The First Tee of Central Arkansas.  Chuck is an Assistant Golf Professional there as well as offering private lessons...
I get a special family rate:)


 We usually play nine holes unless we go to War Memorial Park in Little Rock.  It is a shorter course so we play 15 holes.  We don't keep score and when I really mess up on a hole, I just call it an "X".  I am having fewer and fewer "X's"....I have had one birdie, some pars, some bogies and some double bogies...and then, of course, some X's.  I am progressing.  Someday I'll even keep score.  Then, I may be ready to play with Chuck in a Scramble*, which is our ultimate goal...and what started my on this journey.  


*Scramble: a tournament where you and your partner play from where the best ball lies.

Utah is Salt Lake City to me.  


I have been there twice and that's the only city that I have visited for any length of time...one time in 1977 and another in 2000 for a National Space Grant Conference.












There  is no describing Salt Lake City.  You almost have to go there to believe it.  

The 2000 Winter Olympics were held there.  Some of the events were held in Park City.  We visited some these sites during the Conference.  There was no snow so they used water at the ski jump area for practice sessions.  

The main attractions for me were The Temple,  The Mormon Tabernacle Choir , The Mormon Tabernacle Choir in rehearsal and a small out of the way Garden, that can only be called an "Inspiration".

Do not miss The Sculpture Garden at the Temple Headquarters in honor of Ages of Women.  I walked through the Garden both times that I went.  It is a lovely place for just wandering and being quiet.

The first time I went we drove out to the Great Salt Flats.

Hope you can make it out...just at the edge "LYNN".
I spell my name Lynne...hmmm!  

  

It was really an unusual experience for me.  As we drove up to the edge of the viewing area, I looked down in the salt and saw my name embedded there...it wasn't spelled as mine, but it was close enough!

Note: For "new to my blog" friends...on May 17, 2010, I visited Wisconsin.

 I can now say that I have been in, to or through all 50 United States.

 I am committed to make an Artist Trading Card "ATC" for each of

 the 50 States.
