Mars vs. Venus

Sunday is the Mars vs. Venus tournament (the mixed closing event) with the pig roast to follow with the presentation of the coveted "Pig Trophy" to the winning team. This is the second year for the competition. The women are plotting various ways of beating us after being shellacked last year. Now I don't know what the final outcome is going to be, but I do know we should be prepared for some spirited competition. I expect there will be a lot of mouth wedging going on. So be prepared. I have no doubt we will prevail. After all, the JR/SRS are masters at the mouth wedge and used to all the distractions we throw at each other. I doubt if there is anything we haven't seen or heard.

Twinkle Toes and I attended the TDGA Fall Advisory Meeting held at Hantz Golf Club (formerly Tecumseh Country Club). Not much new from the TDGA, but the 2012 tentative schedule is out and BCC will host the US Open qualifier again on May 15, 2012. Everyone was very impressed with BCC and was eager to return. It was interesting to note every club present has had to deal with loss of revenue and members. There is no magic solution out there. Almost everyone present has had some kind of discounted membership incentive to attract new members. Success rates vary since we are all dealing with a finite universe. Almost everyone said they were trying to attract non golf members with the hope of turning them into regular members in the future. We should be really thankful for great food and swimming at BCC.

Tuesday saw 5 of us tee it up and have a skins game. I think TTS was the only one "Oscar Meyered". It's hard to split $5.00 four ways. A couple of close calls on the SOTD but no winners. The pot is now North of $300.00.

There's a big outing today, rain and all. It can't be much fun out there. Plus it isn't very warm. Personally happy to be sitting inside and gazing out the window.
