A Real Boiler

That's about the only way to describe the weekend. After record heat we got the monsoons on Friday and Saturday night. Over 2 inches of rain on baked clay. I don't need to go further. By Sunday it was a real steamer for the Belmont Cup. I used 4 gloves and 2 hats, and could have changed my shirt both days. That's about the most uncomfortable I've been on the golf course. Then throw in some poor putting on Saturday and even worse ball striking on Sunday and the weekend was just peachy. But the event was a success (even though my team got drilled in the singles matches). Kudos to our Pro for making us play it down.

This is US Senior Open week at the Inverness Club. I know many of us have volunteered to be marshals and work other jobs. Looks like a great field even though a few big names have withdrawn. These are guys we grew older with as we learned the game. Should be a fun week and a shot in the arm for the community. Heaven knows we need it after the BAX announcement last week.

The SD says he is going to give it a try on Tuesday. We certainly have missed his $5.00 twice a week. I know a couple of the normal winners have become dependent on it. So, I'll see ya at the training table.
