My boyfriend, JC, likes to golf. Sometimes I’ll go with him on these trips and take pictures while he is playing. On a good day, we move pretty fast, but there are some days when my camera gets a workout, while JC gets a workout…looking for his golf ball.
Truthfully, he’s getting to be a pretty good golfer. By the way, golf isn’t an easy game to play or learn. I mean a golf ball isn’t very big, nor is the hole that you want to place it in. Therefore, you’ve got to appreciate the men and women who love the game enough to go out there and hit that tiny ball again and again.
Golf Carts
I’d like to say that we walk the course and get all that great exercise. But it’s summer in Florida and where we live that means it’s HOT and HUMID. The highs here often get into the nineties, with the humidity even higher. So, it’s usually the golf cart that takes us around.
Personally, I love this as driving a golf cart is a lot of fun. JC has finally trusted me enough to let me have a go at the wheel as long as I don’t try to race it or drive on the greens, which is a big NO-NO.
Photo Story Challenge
I saw these two carts side by side and couldn’t resist the picture. To me, they looked like they are together, you know… like a couple. However, I don’t know their names or what kind of couple they are?
What do you think?
Your challenge today is to come up with a name for each of these carts and briefly explain the reasons for choosing the names you picked. Also, if you want to expand the challenge, tell us a bit more about the story of this couple.
If you decided to participate in this photo challenge (and I really hope you will), just leave your answer in the comment box.
Here are some questions to get you thinking. You don’t have to answer them; they’re just to inspire your imagination:
- What are the names that first came to your mind when you looked at the carts?
- What kind of couple do you think these carts are? Are they just friends or lovers?
- How old do you think they are?
- How do they feel about each other? Are they happy or not so happy?
Okay, enough of me. It’s your turn. Give this a challenge a try. I’m hoping you’ll have lots of fun with it:~)

Hi Sara. First of all… I love what you’ve done with the place!
Especially your Quote of the Week.
When I looked at these two carts I immediately thought of Fred and Wilma Flintstone. These carts are jokers and love taking midnight rides through the sand traps on the golf course. They are careful not to damage the green though. They’re thrilled to not have to wait for Fred’s big feet to propel them forward. And they just love taking Sara and JC out for a drive.

Denis and Matilda.
Don’t ask me why.
They’re in their 60s, been together 30 years, they drive each other nuts sometimes, but they know each other inside out, and she still catches him looking at her sometimes in that oh so special way…
Joanna
PS That was fun!

Hi Sara,
The first two names I came up with were Ike and Mike – two older gentlemen like friends who have a long history together, and enjoy telling “remember when” golf cart stories.

Hi Sara:
I like Barbara’s idea of the two guys. What about two teenagers,Rachel and Ashley. Ashley is thone on the right and she has spotted a good looking guy cart-she is turned a little. But Rachel is trying to ward off Ike and Mike’s stares. Hee hee.
Thanks for the challenge!

@ Molly — Now, that’s a relationship that will definitely have sparks:~)
@ Davina — I hadn’t thought about Fred and Wilma, but I can see how you saw that. I am so glad your carts are careful not to damage the greens. Also, I’m sure they be wonderful for JC and me:~)
@ Joanna — It is fun isn’t it to just your imagination go. I loved your interpretation and the names, Denis and Matilda. I think it’s nice that you see them as being together for 30 years and still feeling special about each other. Thanks for your comment:~)
@ Barbara — I like your Ike and Mike. I bet they would have some wonderful golf stories to share:~)
What’s funny about your choice of names is that a favorite candy of mine is called Mike and Ikes. I don’t get to indulge often because they are terrible on the teeth…and, to be honest, straight sugar to the veins!
@ Cynthia — Teenagers are a great choice. I can see Ashley making eyes at the boy cart while Rachel is rolling her eyes at Ike and Mike’s stories:~)
