Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan-Claire Mayfield. This is day two hundred and twenty-eight of that project.

After Marc and Ray finished their game, they went to the Clubhouse.

Marc wanted to talk about the game, and Ray wanted to get something to eat and have a cold beer or two. Ray had been playing golf only a little longer than Marc. Ray, however, had more of a natural gift for the game.

They had been friends for a long time, and Marc’s naturally sunny disposition went a long way with Ray. He enjoyed Marc’s sense of humor and positive attitude.

This was fortunate for Marc because he was indeed a terrible golfer. It’s unlikely anyone else would have the patience to play 18 holes with him.

But they had a few laughs and a good burger and cold brews. And their wives had a few quiet hours to themselves.

I’d say a very successful day.
