Golf Surrounded by Storms

A day on the course.

A long trip looming on the horizon of the next morning, a relaxed afternoon seemed in order. Formal dinner arrangements were slated for the evening. Otherwise, no plans for mountain excursions or creeping through the forest were made. A different sort of hiking around was in order, with Pikes Peak and the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop.

Taking time to get our act together, tee time occurred somewhere around Noon, kicking off a good round of 18 holes at Sumo Golf Village near Florence.  It could not have been a better day for it. Mostly clear, with highs in the mid 30°s C, little to no humidity or wind made for little effort at a good game, finishing under par.  While Storms swirled around the mountains throughout most of the day, none bothered our party.

The game finished just in time to clean up and head over to Quincy's Steak & Spirits in Florence, treating our hosts to a good meal at a location they had not yet tried out.  Other considerations came into play later in the evening, and a trip to a little dive in Cañon City offered further relaxation and an opportunity to meet a few new folks.
