"Illinois Chad" Visits Florida...AGAIN!

"Illinois Chad" is the first Chad I met and we were friends growing up in Plainfield, Illinois (Surprisingly, I am friends with quite a few guys who go by the name Chad). He came down to Florida a few years ago and stopped by Orlando to visit, which was a lot of fun to hang out with him. He came down for a second visit and this time and the main thing that we did was we played a lot of imitation-type golfing games. This may sound a bit shocking, but he was visiting me for 2 1/2 days and I really didn't take too many pictures. Crazy, I know…but here is a little bit of what happened!





Photobucket
We went to Fantasia Gardens at Disney World because it's my favorite course to play. It had nothing to do if Chad or Liz would actually like it…..





Photobucket
…..but they seemed to like it. Look at the excitement!





Photobucket
I always putt with dignity.





Photobucket
I climbed up on some rocks and Liz waited patiently to watch me tumble back down to the green…..





Photobucket
…..but her patients grew thin and she continued to play thru.





Photobucket
Chad got a hole-in-one!





Photobucket
I was impressed by Chad's shot while Liz pouted for the next five minutes.





Photobucket
Chad got another hole-in-one!





Photobucket
Hey look…we're finished playing. (I can't believe these are the only pictures I have!)





Photobucket
The next morning we were all enthusiastic for a game of disc golf so we headed over to the course right away.





Photobucket
Liz and I were ready to do this.





Photobucket
It may appear that Liz was about to throw the disc, but she was actually about to take a sip of her Gatorade.





Photobucket
Chad completes Hole 1 without a problem.





Photobucket
Liz catches up.





Photobucket
Chad decides to go with the classic "Driver Throw."





Photobucket
Liz decides to go with the "Ninja Attack."





Photobucket
I decide to go with the "Banana Peel Slip."





Photobucket
Chad completes the hole and wishes I would put my camera down and just play the game.





Photobucket
Liz was concentrating on her next throw and I don't think she noticed I was taking a picture…..





Photobucket
…..but I was wrong and she roughed me up with her deadly "Ninja Attack."





Photobucket
I took over sign duty for a while.





Photobucket
It was time for a break…..





Photobucket
…..and then resumed the game by digging out our discs in thorn bushes.





Photobucket
I made the goal!





Photobucket
Not only can Liz pull off a flawless "Ninja Attack", but she can also do an outstanding "Banana Peel Slip."





Photobucket
We just finished another hole…I'm going to assume it was Hole 10.





Photobucket
Chad carefully studies the course map before launching it into another thorn bush.





Photobucket
Liz dramatically completes Hole 13.





Photobucket
Chad was ready to see Liz throw her best shot.





Photobucket
Liz was satisfied with her throw…..





Photobucket
…..but Chad tries his best to overtake her throw…..





Photobucket
…..and I simply try my best to not fall over.





Photobucket
Chad finishes Hole 18!





Photobucket
Liz totally copied Chad!





Photobucket
Chad and I tie at the end, which means we can still be friends.





Photobucket
So there you go…it was a fun time playing imitation-type golfing games!





End.
