Boys Night Out 2007 - The Last Days

Thursday, the 6th, we played golf at Davis Park Golf Course in Fruit Heights, Utah (par 71). Tom Garrison, a friend from high school (Student Body President and an MD) played with us. It was so much fun to talk and renew our friendship. The day could not have been more perfect for golf. Craig shot a 91. Tom shot an 82. I shot an 83. Afterwards we went and had some lunch near Weber State and then we went to Tom’s house and got a tour of his new house. Ladies, you would have been so envious to see the closet space in the master bedroom. Gentlemen, you would have been so envious to see the very big screen TV in the family room. J After that, we just went back to the hotel and crashed for the rest of the day.

Friday, the 7th, was an interesting day. Chase was in Provo for a couple of days on a business trip. That’s right, my baby boy is now taking business trips! Anyway, we drove to South Jordon and met for breakfast. After breakfast, since we were so close, we went over to Sally’s, just to see if they were home. What luck! Sally and Clayton were home, along with Andrea and her husband Craig. So, we were able to spend some time getting caught up with the Snows.

Since we were playing golf in Cache Valley, again, we ran out to Aunt Janice’s. The funny thing is that she had heard, from her grandson Bo Benson, we were in town and apparently she had thought that we’d already left town without seeing her. As is the case each time we visit, it was wonderful to recall the good times we had growing up and now the rewards and challenges of that growing up.

We met Bo, Jeff and Paul Larsen (a high school friend) at Birch Creek (par 72). So, we played there on Monday and on Friday. As usual, it was a blast to be around Jeff and Paul. I started off so hot. I shot a 1 over 37 on the front, which included 2 birdies and 3 bogies! Needless to say, I came back down to earth on the backside. Bo shot an 80. Paul shot an 80. Jeff shot an 84. Craig shot a 90. I shot an 83. After the golf we went to a high school football game. Jeff’s son, Jordan, was playing. So it was Skyview (Tori’s alma mater) against Box Elder (my alma mater). Craig and I left at halftime, so, I don’t know the final score. However, I am sure that the Might Bees came back and stung the Bobcats (they were only down 24 to 7 when we left).

On the way back to Ogden, we stopped at Peach City in Brigham City (our hometown) for some milkshakes and conversation with Mike Jones (a high school friend of mine, a perennial Punt, Pass and Kick Champion, a Top Gun pilot, a pilot for Delta Airlines, and attorney). The great thing, besides catching up with him, was that he brought his Dad to see us, too! It was a long day, but, a wonderful day, too.

Now, there are only Saturday’s activities and the plane ride home on Sunday. Time sure flies when you’re having fun.
