Tucson, Arizona, Day 2

My body is still a little mixed up with what time zone I am in.  It has been a bit of a problem since we switched to daylight savings time and as I have been traveling west loosing more time along the way.  Tucson is in the Mountain time zone, so regularly 2 hours behind Toronto. As as result I have been waking up early for here, but have gotten into a routine of checking things out on the internet with my phone before getting out of bed. 

The plan for the day is my first round of golf in Tucson, on the north course at Randolf, which I visited yesterday. I picked up my Tucson Players card, so my round was free, well $59.00, but I will negate that with all the discounts I will get while I am here.  

Check out the unusual cloud formation.
I don't think I will tire of the mountain views all around Tucson. 




I played the front 9 with a relative beginner, a college senior attending University of Arizona.   On the back 9 I joined two older local guys John and George, who were quite good players.  It was an enjoyable round.

Wednesday night at the park is Domino night.  A group of ladies play Mexican train starting at 5:30.  It turns out one of them, Doris, is a fan of Survivor, and she was cordial enough to let me go back to her home to watch the episode she had recorded on her DVR.  Another group came in to play the same game at 6:00.  They are a mixed group, from the RV section of the park, and mostly Canadians.  If I can find a man who will play as my opponent I will be able to join that game starting next week.  The timing works better with my golf schedule.
