This is one of those weeks where everyone seems to be going in every direction. The US Senior Open is taking a lot of time from JR/SR golf. We are either working as marshals or being spectators. Plus throw in the summer heat and it makes for a reduced field. That's OK since I can't lose as much money.
Tuesday saw the return of the SD. Based on his play (best round of 2011) he should take a month off every year. He and Edo took all the money from LTG and me in a skins game. Skinless again! Wednesday was a marshaling day. Thursday only LTG and I showed up and played a nice casual round in about three hours. No sun for 16 holes and then on the 17Th tee the clouds parted and I thought we were in a pizza oven. Didn't bother LTG. He came close to jarring it and had a a kick in bird (no Twinkle Toes he didn't use a 3 wood).
Today is a marshaling day. I'm trying to figure out where I need a rain suit, extra sun block, 2 Gatorade's, salt tablets or what. The storms coming through this morning were pretty heavy. I keep looking at the weather radar for some clues.
You know these Seniors make it look so easy. Wednesday during the practice round I payed a lot of attention to their technique around the green. Picked up some helpful hints which I tried on Thursday. It was surprising how much they helped with those little shots from the heavy rough. Now if I can only remember how to execute next week. Plus their full swings are all different but they repeat them every shot. You would think i would have that consistency after 40 years..
Looking forward to Saturday and the opportunity to get some of my money back.
