I called my brother yesterday afternoon and when he answered the phone I could tell he was outside and I figured he was on the golf course. Sure enough, when I asked where he was, he informed me he was on the back 9, which I guess is some sort of term they use that I assumed meant he was on the 9th hold of the golf course. I knew he didn’t really like to talk when he’s golfing, so I explained that I just wanted to tell him that the gift we’d ordered dad for Father’s Day online had arrived and I asked if he wanted to come over next weekend for a BBQ. He said he did, but that he’d call me later when he got off the golf course. Sure enough, several hours later he called and we talked for a while about the upcoming holiday and the plans that I had to grill some steaks for dad. He also wants to take dad out on the golf course that morning, which I thought was a great thing to do. From there they’ll both come over to the house and dad will be surprised at the BBQ and his gift.
