2010 ended well and 2011 is off to a good start.

I ended the year with a fun round of golf at Quail Chase. I had two cracks at my best nine of the year on the last day of the year. It didn't take much-my best nine was 45. The front nine all I needed was a bogey, but I triple-bogeyed thanks to a stupid decision (if it takes longer than 2 seconds to decide whether you can make it through a gap in the trees, the correct answer is NO.)
The back nine I needed a bogey again. I tripled again, but I plead justifiable distraction. Here's the story:
After finishing on 17 we encountered a golf cart traffic jam before the 18th tee. We saw five carts and nine or ten people all gathered around talking. They were focused on one old man sitting in a cart, and my initial thought was a health problem such as a heart attack or perhaps something less serious.
But when we rode up to check it turned out to be a golf cart accident. Two carts had collided on the crossing paths. The wheels on one cart had been knocked askew. I didn't see it, so I can't really judge, but still....stupid. Carts don't move all that fast, so one or both drivers probably did something very stupid. Anyway, the old man seemed to have injured his arm, but when we asked everyone assured us he was fine, and he really did seem to be okay. And they told us to play through.
We could hear sirens as we teed off on 18. By the time we were in the fairway the sirens were very close, and we joked that they were probably coming to Quail Chase because of the golf cart accident. Then just before I hit my second shot two emergency vehicles rode up the cart path, sirens still blaring. I hit a poor shot. By the time we reached the green two more police cars had also played through.
It was hard to concentrate.
I'm nearly 100% sure the guy was fine. My guess is they called the clubhouse after the accident, and the folks in the clubhouse decided not to take any chances.

2011 began with me doing nothing for several hours, then we went bowling, then several of us decided to go out for dinner at Logan's. I had a delicous steak-and-lobster tail, mainly so that I could say I've eaten lobster every day this year.
