One of the best times I had recently was playing 9 holes with my wife at Peak 'n Peak (western NY) resort on Halloween weekend. I wasn't planning on playing - Laura planned this as a fun weekend getaway & tour of local vineyards, but asked if I was taking my clubs. I hadn't planned on it & said I didn't want to play alone, and was shocked when she offered to play. It had been around 20 years since the last time we played together, and at least 10 since she had played at all.
We got to the hotel on Friday afternoon & I called the golf course (thinking "no way will we be able to get out"). Turns out there was absolutely no one on the course because 1) they were closing for the year on Sunday; 2) the weather forecast was totally sh*t; 3) it was too late to get in 18.
It was such an amazing feeling to have a quality golf course all to ourselves - no pressure for her to hit good shots or keep up a certain pace. The weather was awesome (70 degrees - the crap weather came in later that night).
Couldn't golf the next day but hit a ton of wineries & then a local brewery (Southern Tier). Fantastic time!
I sure hope we can continue to play golf together, but it's gonna be hard to top this one perfect weekend!
