16th tee, Springbrook Golf Course, Leeds, 6:45PM last evening. The sun is down.

I tee off.

Whack!

Sounded good. But I'll be damned if I know where it went.

Pete steps up. Same thing.

Hmmm.

Perhaps it's time to call it a night. Don and Ron agree. Our games have been getting a little shaky the last few holes anyway. We head to the clubhouse for a beer.

Note to self: Best try to tee off before 2PM these days if you plant to get a full 18 holes in.

Or maybe skip the golf all together (the way my game has been, that's not a bad idea), break out the road bike, helmet and headlamp and start taking part in some night rides with the Casco Bay Bike Club.

Hardy CBBCers will be night riding every Wednesday evening, starting at 6PM from Payson Park in Portland, until snow and ice make riding unsafe.
