The Course To Ourselves

Well, the weather didn't look like it was going to be very nice yesterday, but six of us showed up and decided to play. With no other crazy people around we made it a six some and played a little skin game with greenies. Several things became apparent very quickly: LBB's name is well earned but we were all pretty safe with a putter in his hand ( just don't let him chip). Gilhooley gave us new term based on his proficiency on the par three tees (more later). Bob B is still looking for chipping lessons. And, yours truly can hit it sideways all day but strike once and be the big winner (thank goodness for greenie carry overs). Tom Z thought he lost his practice club on the first tee, but forgot he set in his cart while putting on his glove. He was looking all over the place and accusing all of us of hiding it before mumbling about his memory. At the end of the day the weather was pleasant and we had a great time and the course pretty much to ourselves.

Now more about our new term. Gilhooley teed it up on #4 and proceeded to dribble it about 30 yards. Bob B was heard in the background to exclaim he shouldn't get comfortable in the cart since he was going to be first to play. Then I did pretty much the same on #8 and was told I hit a "Gilhooley". The use of the same term twice in 9 holes constitutes general acceptance and mandates inclusion in our glossary of terms.

The weather on Thursday should be sunny and about the same temperature as Wednesday. Hope to see you on the range and don't forget your $5.
