Wayne County was our first stop and we had to be extra prepared for this course. When I called the number for Corydon Golf Club to arrange a T time, the phone was answered "City Hall", because "the golf course doesn't have its own phone number" ??? And, they don't rent carts??? What was funny was the City Clerks tone, you know the one, the 'as if I should have known' tone, because after all "its just a 9 hole club". Ok, we had golfed at 53 counties before today and most of them have been 9 hole courses, and THEY DO RENT CARTS!! This is only the 2nd course that we have found that doesn't rent them out, the only difference is that we didn't have an option, it was the only course in Wayne County.........that we knew of at the time. After visiting with a local, we found out that Humeston has a course with sand greens. Yes, I probably would have preferred that, just to say we had golf on sand, but the others preferred to stay here since we were ready. Onward we go!
So I didn't walk all 9, but kudos to Jim and Shirley for hanging in there to the finish. This course was another 'on your honor' pay system. $20.00 and drop it in the box, golf all day (or in our case, golf 9 for $20.00) A little pricey we thought but it was all good.
Next destination............Lucas County
After Corydon, we headed to Chariton. Chariton is the home of Hy-Vee Food Stores. They recently opened up a grill in the lobby of the local hotel and I must say that it was excellent. Shirley had the BLT and said it was great. 
Now that we are cooled off and fed, we headed to Lakeview Golf & Country Club. More cart problems here too. We were going to golf here first but they only had 4 carts to rent and 3 were already reserved for the morning so had to stop here on the way back instead. No complaints, at least they HAD carts. Even with a T time and carts reserved there was a hesitation with us getting to golf since it was private and they were not in our PGA Card. But we finally got going and had a good time. 
Can you say CICADA? They were loud and everywhere, you really had to watch where you were going with the cart not to get one in the face. One did land on Shirley and that was quite funny (for me anyhow! HA). Lakeview was very nice and reminded me of Sun Valley, brought back a lot of memories for Jim and I.
It was the hottest day we have experienced so far and we sure was glad we were done and didn't have another one planned for the day. We were really looking forward to getting home and taking a shower.

We had such a great time and Shirley was so shocked at all surprises around every turn. Thanks to Lena, LaVerne, Lisa and David for helping Jim and I pull off an amazing surprise for Shirley.
Every even hole, Tim or Jim would put a card on her seat. She was not always observant though and we would have to point it out to her. One card she sat on three times before Tim asked her what was on her seat. She must be getting old! Here are the pics of her with each of her gifts.

Topped it off with lunch at Francies. Awesome day! Hope you enjoyed it Shirley!
We are all geared up and ready for the next road trip! Lena is going to join us and we can't wait to get going. Its going to be a FIRECRACKER of a time!
Golf is horrifying, humiliating and humbling, but I can't wait to do it again. Author unknown
