His new bride, Jean was feeling under the weather, so it was just the five of us &#8211; Larry &amp; I, my sister Louise &amp; her husband Scott, and Kurt. In keeping with local customs, we had to stop for refreshment at several points in the day. The desert air is very dry you know, and one must take care to remain properly hydrated. We were also starving, so he took us to the club where he often goes golfing. We noticed right away that it differed somewhat from the place where we normally go golfing, because there was no giagantic purple elephant out front. There was also a decided lack of half sunken pirate ships, tees made from the rear end of a &#8217;57 Chevy, and no waterfalls to hit the ball through at all.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4379\" title=\"front\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/front.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/front.jpg 600w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/front-150x105.jpg 150w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/front-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/> There also didn&#8217;t seem to be anyplace to buy post-golf ice cream cones or hot dogs either, but we soldiered on, making the best of things.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4382\" title=\"trees\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/trees.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/trees.jpg 600w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/trees-150x125.jpg 150w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/trees-300x251.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>We sat out on a terrace, ovelooking part of the course.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4381\" title=\"course\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/course.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/course.jpg 600w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/course-150x92.jpg 150w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/course-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Clearly, it was a place where the beautiful people like to be seen.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4380\" title=\"beautifulpeople\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/beautifulpeople.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/beautifulpeople.jpg 600w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/beautifulpeople-150x82.jpg 150w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/beautifulpeople-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>It was, of course, gorgeous.
