Golf, Kayak, and Thunderstorm

A unique aspect of camping in southern state parks is the golf courses connected to the park. We are in a state park campground that has a Jack Nicholas designed course surrounded on three sides by Tims Ford Lake. Tennessee has 8 more state parks with golf courses. 

We played a round on Wednesday morning even though it was threatening rain, which was a good thing because it kept the heat down. I can't say it was a really challenging course but it was fun. In fact, I had such a good time that I talked John into playing again tomorrow morning. I shot a very respectable 97!!

Today and Tuesday we got the inflatable kayak out and paddled around the lake for an hour or so each day but other than that we had pretty lazy days. 

Last night a huge thunderstorm blew through here. The weather alert kept going off during the hour leading up to the storm so we had the RV ready for a high wind event - awning and both slides rolled in.  It was exciting to watch as the rain and clouds rolled in. We thought our neighbor was going to loose his awning but it survived. At one point we couldn't see more than a couple hundred yards down the cove due to heavy rain and the pine cones falling on the roof sounded like gun shots. The weather should be good the rest of the week.
