This past Wednesday wasn't her birthday, but Sandra took the day off and I scheduled things so I didn't have to work. We headed out to Broken Arrow Golf Club in Lockport. She has been hitting the driving range with me and had showed some great strides the last couple of times out.
We ran late to her appointment with the teaching pro, Tom O'Connor, at the club. He was reasonable about the lateness and helped Sandra for an half-hour, correcting a couple of problems she has been having with her swing and on the green. It was definitely worth the time and money.
We then hit Broken Arrow's West short par 3 links. The sun was brilliant with lazy puffs of clouds drifting above--an absolutely gorgeous day to golf. Despite the short length, the patches of wild flowers and tall grasses which accompanied the holes gave challenges and we both struggled some. The course wasn't well-maintained unlike their other nine hole courses, but the scenery still was nice with pollinating bees and big beautiful butterflies roaming the terrain.
After messing up easier holes, I finished with a par on a legitimate par 3, 120 or so yards with water protecting the front. Sandra also finished with a nice chip and good putt. We ate some good food at the restaurant and watched golfers on another of the nine hole courses. It was a fitting end to a really good day on the course.
