There are a few times over the course of the summer that one finds himself smiling while he's mowing the lawn. One would be the first mow of the summer and another, the last mow of the summer. But there's another time as well ... when one has the opportunity to mow 9 holes of golf in one's backyard.
Over the past four (4) weeks, the "Links at Tonganoxie Creek" has taken shape. The fairways and greens were carefully laid out and then manicured meticulously while the 'rough' grew in around them. A final trim was made on Saturday morning with the greens being mowed at an extra low blade setting. Holes were marked, flags were staked, and the scene was set for the Inaugural Tonganoxie Golf Tournament (also known as an Elders Quorum social in Cody's backyard).
Not only was the competition stiff and the course challenging, but there was smoked brisket and home-made root beer too! The weather was beautiful, the wiffle balls were flying well, and there was a great sense of brotherhood and friendship had by all. Now ... the rest of the yard needs mowing, and probably without the same enthusiasm.
