What a day! Began with a nice ride back from Gainesville on the bike which was followed by a nice nap. Then after being well rested met with the Ole Bishop, Mike Roberts and Fred Flintstone to try and play 18 holes at Bonifay before getting caught by the darkness.

We almost made it but could only get in 13 holes before we were forced to turn on the golf car headlights to find the golf balls. We gave a whole new meaning to twilight golf!! But, a good time was had by all! There were even a few pars made but no new members of the Gilchrist Birdie Club. Mike was presented with his "Birdie" pin by the Mayor to the appreciation of all who were present.

After winding our way through the golf course in the dark, the Mayor finally had to tell Mike that no, we could not cut through peoples yards to get back to the main road. As a result of this bad decision, we arrived at Bonifay Country Club for some much needed liquid nourishment only to find that the establishment closed at 9:00 (it was 9:01). The group then adjourned to the Mayors Residence for refreshments.

Next time we play twilight, we have to get some of the glow balls so we can play at least one more hole after dark!!!
