Sock Golf!

What do you do on a ship for 3 months you ask? .. people invent games like sock golf.. Saturday night we played sock golf! .. It was similar to frisbee golf. We were told to come wearing our best golf attire, and to bring a wadded up pair of socks.. as our ball. A young couple on the ship set up the game up, and there were 18 holes, and we played in groups of four. There was a tee off point for each hole, and a  "hole" paper posted on the wall somewhere near by. There was a par for each a hole, each player counted their throws, and each team had a score card just like in frisbee or mini golf. It was a blast!  The holes were everywhere..up and around staircases, through hospital hallways, across the "town square". (a two story opened up cafe area) Sock were flying all over the place. It was really fun, and everyone's very grateful when people put fun stuff like this together for a bunch of us to do in the evenings!Here's my team! as we took the pedestal for coming in third in the total team scoring! out of about 20 teams! Me, Sam, Ryan, and Katie. (above)

And scoping out the next hole, Katie and Sam, prepare for an up and over a staircase throw..   (below)


It was very fun. And everyone who didn't play had just as much fun watching everyone make fools of themselves and run all over the ship throwing socks! =) Families had their cabin doors propped open, so as teams came through the nearest hole they would all pop their heads out and watch us accidently throw our sock DOWN a stair-wall instead of over a railing. =) (that might have a personal experience)

And these last two posts were only for Saturdays events! Monday's will be about Sunday's eventful and touching church service down in the ward, and visiting an orphanage! .. get excited! =)
love, lindy
