SPLISH SPLASH ......





I played 9 holes of golf today - some good, some bad.

On the 4th I went down to the creek - the source of many a good golf ball.
The rains we've had recently meant that the water levels were higher than usual and the stream that I can normally jump over was a mini torrent.

I got over one way, going a bit further downstream and making my way across on some big rocks and some concrete paving stones that were in the water. I found a few balls but as my golf trundler was just across from me, instead of going back down and around I decided to cross right there.
I found a large tree branch in the undergrowth. It was like a long log but of irregular shape. I struggled with it to the stream and dropped it to form a bridge. It looked OK.
Halfway across though the 'log' turned and I fell in to the fast flowing stream Splish splash!
It wasn't deep but I went in up to me elbows and knees making my footwear, golf glove, T-shirt and shorts all wet. 



It was a very uncomfortable last 5 holes.

I'm glad no-one was around to see.

Oops, no, best to keep that to yourself if it's anything like those other dreams and fantasises you have.
