Matthew and I, both fighting illness and on the back end of getting rid of strep and/or bronchitis. Were bored to tears at home so we packed up our golf clubs and headed to the little Diamond In the Rough down the road. I didn’t blog about this place last year when I found it because I wanted to keep it to myself.
