Took the family to Boomer's for miniature golf. First time since before Hilda was born, and she's six and a half now. Did pretty well for not touching a club in about seven years, shooting a 48. One hole in one. Not precisely my best effort ever, but quite palatable. The World's Only Perfect Woman also did pretty well, and had a hole in one of her own. Little Ramona is too young to understand what's going on, but Hilda, while initially very frustrated, picked it up pretty well after a while. By the end she was shooting solid 4s, with one 2.



My first shot ever was a hole-in-one. At the old Family Fun Center course #2 in La Mesa, gone now due to the 125 freeway. I shot it, my father said, "here, let me show you what you did wrong," and we both looked away. Then a couple of seconds later my brother interrupted, saying, "It went in!" Not only that, it was one of two "hole in one wins a free game" holes on that course at the time. My dad followed up my lucky shot with his own hole in one (skill), so we all had to play another game after that. Some memories are more precious than gold.
