okay um what kind of hobbies do you have Lori
um i guess uh i like to play golf
uh-huh
and um i also like to plant flowers and do do some gardening and do arts and crafts
uh-huh where do you play golf or in this area
well we live uh pretty close to the Mesquite Golf Course
uh-huh
so we'll play either out there or at Firewheel that's usually where we play but i've played you know different courses in in the Dallas area
do you uh do you ride or do you pull a cart when you play golf
uh both not at the same time
i was gonna say that could be difficult
now sometimes we ride and sometimes um we pull we like to to a lot of times just walk for the exercise
uh-huh
but i find that when i ride in a cart i play better and i think it's because i don't get as tired
i think that might be true
yeah
i don't like pulling a cart on Firewheel golf course because they want you to pull the cart on the path
i know and that makes me so mad i you know it's like it's not gonna do that much damage to the course but apparently they think differently
that's the reason i don't play over there
yeah
i like the course but i don't play over there because
you they don't uh you know don't allow you to pull a cart
right
and i don't think a cart damages the turf
right well the reason why we play over there is because since we're a Garland resident they give us a special deal where you can get um ten rounds of golf for
a hundred dollar yeah a hundred dollars because it's half price what the normal green fees are
uh-huh
so that's why we you know play over there because we've got our card
well i guess i could use a car too i live uh very near very close to the Firewheel Golf Course
oh do you so you live in Garland then
yes i live in northwest Garland right up there near the golf course
okay well we're in south Garland but yeah next time you go um
you know check into it they've uh it's just like uh a bus card and they just punch it you know it's got
one through ten on it and every time you go they just punch it for you
well in the last two years i haven't played very much golf because i'm involved in Boy Scouts
oh okay
so i have uh i have children i have children Boy Scout age i have two boys that are Boy Scout age and so
you must have a a son
oh okay
i'm very active in Boy Scouts so i'd have to say that camping and hiking and canoeing and Boy Scouts is my hobby
yeah oh well that sounds like fun too
but i like
but my golf clubs will probably rust before i get to use them again because my boys are still right at the beginning age and it's gonna probably be six to eight years before they go to college
uh-huh well you need to teach them how to play take them out on the course with you
so
that's right lessons are expensive though
oh yeah well you can teach them
well they probably would never make it then because i don't think i only took lessons for golf when i was in college
uh-huh
ah as a course for P E you know so i could graduate
right right
uh-huh
but uh that's the only time i think i've ever really taken golf lessons and that was kind of a group scenario and not individual
uh-huh right
right
i took one lesson one other time besides that um i just uh try to make the club hit the ball
right
yeah i know what you mean
i don't wanna play strike out you know
uh-huh
but i have fun doing it some you know have some good shots and some bad shots
oh yeah it's it's just nice to get outdoors and do something
so you said you work uh in the gardens too do you have ah special flowers
well flower gardens i like to have matter fact this past weekend i i just got finished planting a bunch of tulips and daffodil bulbs
so those ought to be coming up around spring time
my wife had uh
just put in a bunch of i wanna say they're pansies
uh-huh
she put them in like two months ago because they're winter plants
right
and they just bloom with all even with all the cold weather weather we've had they've been blooming just fine
oh they do great i put mine in probably in November
that's when she did i think
yeah i think was November and i don't do anything to mine i don't water mine or anything and they just they do really good and i even had i guess it was last year the year before i had some out
and it froze and the pansies looked terrible but they came back later i didn't do anything to them so they're um
they're they're good to plant in the winter time
because they last for a long time then
so if you start putting them you know you can put them out in the spring too but once it starts getting real hot then it just kills them because they can't stand the hot weather
um-hum
do they survive longer if you put them in the winter time will they make it through the summer some
no they won't make it through the summer because it gets too hot
but they'd make it through probably winter and spring
um-hum
so
yeah i've got some of those too i love flowers
well
oh that's good
yeah
and i do some i try to do some arts and crafts and i love to go the to
