though I really didn't play very much. Next tax season, I went to work for
CPA who promised to pay considerably better than H & R Block. I later
found out that his promise to pay wasn't worth an awful lot. Last I heard,
this fraud was working as a MISSIONARY in China. guess he took his
hardly-earned money and got away for awhile. I have tried to play more
golf since and in the spring of 2007, I had my third eagle, a career-best round
of 78 and my second hole-in-one in just over a month. My 16 handicap has
since worked its way to a 22, but I am desperately, but I'm determined to get
used to my new clubs and work it back down to respectability. In the midst of
all this, I have bowled in a local league each winter, sung with the local
Methodist Church's Praise Team, volunteered to serve homeless people in Daytona
Beach a noon meal several times, volunteered to pack food for needy folks a few
other times and, recently, have gone back to doing some leathercraft work. Our
home has a nice room and private bath for guests (Hint, Hint!!!) and our golf
course is a Jack Nicklaus design, tough on some of the holes, but forgiving on
others. Oh, yes, the trip: we took an Insight coach (NOT BUS!) tour from
Scottsdale AZ to the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon
and Las Vegas. I recommend it HIGHLY! The accommodations were first class at
every stop, the provided meals were excellent and the coach was roomy (only 40
passengers so seats were further apart than usual). Now that I've bored you to
death, I'll close by inviting any Schalmont folks of our acquaintance who might
be interested to get out of the cold and come visit us in Palm Coast (it'll warm
up by the weekend!). There's lots to do, whether you play golf or not and our
rates are the lowest you'll find anywhere: FREE! Don't be strangers."
