Golfing Miracle TOO
Mood:  surprised
Topic: My Life

Golfing with Fr. David is not without its interesting and shocking shots.  This one however, was greatly out of the ordinary.  We were playing at the Hallettsville course and were teeing of for Hole 5 (par 3 - this is a different day that the eagle on Hole 4).   My all-too-familiar line drive hit had the ball come up short and head toward the water hazard in front of the green; yet when the ball hit the water, being submerged for a brief moment, it shot up 3 feet vertically and arced 2 feet and landed on the fringe.  Fr. David and I couldn’t believe what we saw…it is still hard for me to believe it.  I mean, I have had my “Jesus-balls,” which walks on water; but this one jumped out of the water like Shamu jumping through a hoop.  INCREDIBLE!

Golfing Miracle
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: My Life
Don't worry, I am working on my Taiwan experience.  But, right now, I must share some extremely joyous news with you, at least for those of you who enjoy golf.  I got up early this morning to play a quick 9 holes before I went to Houston to visit a friend.  I did not know that I would shoot the best 9, I have ever shot...a 43--mind you I normally shoot in the mid-50's.  But that is not it.  In Hallettsville, on the 4th hole (a par 5), my first two shots laid me up 80 yards from the pin.  My next swing was the usual blading of the ball making it line drive over the water to the green.  As it careened onto the green, I watched it disapear in a hurry.  I went to the back side of the green but couldn't find it, until I reluctantly walked up onto the green and looked into the hole.  There my ball sat, just as beautifully as a kolach in each of my hands.  The reality of what just happened took a second to sink in...I SHOT AN EAGLE!  AN EAGLE!  That is two under par for the hole.  After that, I could do no wrong, as far as I was concerned.
