In spite of our collegiate affiliation, we were invited by the Hunters (Gators) to play in their Member-Guest tournament at Beech Mountain. We have only played that course one other time and it is, well, challenging to say the least!
Frank, Leann, Diane and Craig, before the tournament.
The tournament started Friday afternoon with threats of thunderstorms. But fortunately the weather held and we were able to complete the round. It's been a few years since we've seen the Hunters so it was very nice to spend time with them. Frank and Craig played very well!

Remember me saying I was a little anxious about playing since it had been a while? Well, that anxiousness reared its ugly head frequently throughout our round! Diane played fabulously and we enjoyed the ladies we were paired up with.
At the end of the first round, Diane and I were tied for second, thanks to Diane!
After playing golf, Craig and Diane took us up the mountain to their home. What a beautiful home with a spectacular view!

We ate dinner at the Alpen Inn where every evening they put out corn and fruit for the deer. (The picture is a little fuzzy because it was taken through a window from a bit of a distance.)
Golf resumed bright and early Saturday morning...and we were ready!
Diane and I continued our fun and each had quite a few great shots! It was a great time and we finished third!
Frank and Craig had another great round and ended up tying for 1st place!
See, Gators and Seminoles can play well together. :)
In fact, Frank and Craig beat Doug (Frank's brother's brother-in-law, another Seminole) by 2/10 of a point!
All in all it was a great time and a good way to kick off golf in the mountains! Thank you Craig and Diane for inviting us!
