NIGHT GOLFING

 You've heard of night swimming, nightclubbing, night shift and other 'nights' and I know that you like it when I give you the music links to these:

NIGHT SWIMMING - REM

NIGHTCLUBBING - GRACE JONES

NIGHTSHIFT - THE COMMODORES

All good songs I'm sure you will agree but I haven't found a song titled 'Night Golfing'. Funny that.

I went to the golf club at midnight last night. The almost full 'Wolf' moon and clear sky meant that I could have played a few holes, and I did have the golf clubs in the car but chose not to.

The reason that I went to the golf club at midnight was because, as I was about to go to bed I couldn't find my phone. I looked everywhere for it and The Old Girl, who I'd woken by this time rang the phone several times from her cellphone. I listened in the house and outside by the car and heard nothing.

I backtracked my activity during the day and tried to remember when I had last used the phone. I had it with me when I played golf in the late afternoon ....... that was it. After playing I had sat down on a picnic bench outside the club and got things out of the golf bag. Water bottle, keys, wallet and phone. I gathered these up and loaded the car with the golf clubs and drove home. I must have left the phone on the bench - either that or put it on top of the car as I unlocked it (I've done that before).

I said to The Old Girl that I'd go to the club the next morning but she wisely suggested that I drive there then and now in case it rained overnight or an early golfer found it and kept it. She suggested this but declined to go with me.

I drove to the club and parked in the empty car park with the headlights shining along the side of the clubhouse to the seating area. I went to the bench and at first saw nothing on the table top but after a hunt around found the phone on the seat. What a relief. I headed home smartly before some local reported a strange person walking around the clubhouse, acting suspiciously.

Job done but I wish there was a song about it.
