This weekend we celebrated my mom's 60th b-day, even though her birthday is not until Tuesday August 11th. My brother Ryan and his fiancee Kari brought mom up to Giants Ridge for the weekend. We had a great time.
We started out Saturday morning with 18 holes at The Legend, mom rode along on the cart and took pictures and enjoyed the relaxing scenery.
Nicole and I shot our best rounds of the year at The Legend, and Nicole her best round ever. She shot 83 and I shot 78. My brother Ryan shot 82 and survived getting beat by Nicole by 1 shot.
After our round of golf we drove north to Fortune Bay, which is a Casino and they have a golf course called The Wilderness. Their patio at the Wilderness is very nice, especially on a nice afternoon/evening. We enjoyed appetizers and a few glasses of wine and had a great afternoon.
From there we moved onto Ely, MN, a northern gem (if there is such a thing). There were a lot of people in Ely, something that is hard to find on the Range. We walked the streets and looked at shops and drank some coffee. Then we went back to Biwabik for pizza at Vi's, which is always a good place.
On Sunday morning we had breakfast at the Quarry and then celebrated mom's 60th before they headed home.
On Sunday Nicole and I played golf again at the Quarry. This time I made Nicole play from the white tees, 6200 yards. She struggled a bit and shot 100, but she will get better from the further back tees. I tell her it will help her with her mid-irons. I shot 79 and was very pleased. When the driver goes well, the rest of the game seems easy.
I had to do a little landscaping before my shot so I didn't break my club on the boulder.
This is one of my favorite holes at The Quarry.
I am heading home tomorrow (Tuesday) for a client meeting in Rushford, MN on Wednesday, and then Nicole is coming home Thursday. This weekend we have a big client weekend planned with golf at Troy Burne on Saturday followed by drinks at the Ward Bar (haven't decided if we have a better name yet) and then we are heading downtown Mpls to stay at the W Hotel, Manny's dinner and then to the PGA Championship for the final round on Sunday (go Tiger)
Our basement is supposed to be finished by this Friday, contractor says anyway. The floor is being re-stained today, sealed tomorrow, baseboard in the living room finished Wednesday. TV's go in Thursday and hardware finished on cabinets/desk and wine racks hung Friday. Furniture arrives Saturday between 8:00 a.m.- Noon! Clients arrive at 4:00 p.m. How's that for snug! Fingers crossed!
