Pictures from golfing

Tuesday I headed to TPC at Deere Run in Silvis, IL just outside the Quad Cities. It's a bit of a drive, so we try to play 27 holes, but the schedule at the course didn't allow for it unfortunately. My golfing buddy was Principal Chris, who heads a junior high in the burbs. He grew up in the QC so he knows the area pretty well.




















The entrance....




















The big bronze Deere and the first hole. The weather was pretty nice most of the day, but it was overcast to start.






































Each hole has a placard that tells a little story about that hole, the area of the country, the city or the course in general. They are interesting to read. The 14th hole has my favorite which talks about how the slogan "Nothing runs like a Deere" came about.



















This is the rib place we go whenever we play Deere Run. Jim's Rib Haven. Yum!




Half the food!!


















Chris going to town and my carnage.....sooooo goood.


















After a good meal, we have to have dessert!! Whitey's is THE place in the area for ice cream.

















Inside Whitey's.













Sometimes we also go to the pizza place in this picture. They sell pies that are half cooked so you can finish cooking them at home. Good stuff. We were too full to go back for pizza.











It was a fun trip and Principal Chris is good company for such a trip. The food was delicious!!

New carpeting comes on Thursday morning!!! A busy day!!
