I think we can safely say that the 2012 golf season is now officially over after the blast of winter we got right after Christmas. If that is the only bad weather we get I'll be a happy camper. But, I'm sure there will be more to come in the next two months.
Speaking of Christmas I hope yours was a merry one. The Nurse and I spent a quiet couple of days before traveling to my family gathering in Columbus this weekend. This year was the Rabbit Wrangler and Miss Em's turn to spend the holiday in G-town. Considering the weather it was just as well. I can tell several stories about holiday travel with a dog in the car and bad weather. I can vividly remember one state trooper who didn't appreciate a big slobbery kiss from our lab.
For all you fair weather golfers I'll be accepting bids next year for cart partners. The Nurse gave one of those cart heaters that fit in the cup holder and keep you toastie warm. I haven't fired it up yet but know they work quite well. Talk to my neighbor DB.
Question - What do you call 55 men watching the Super Bowl?
Today is the last day we will be able to meet for lunch at the training table. Hope to see you there. Last week we had a nice crowd and added a few more $$ to the SOTD pot. If you can't make it have a happy and safe new year's celebration. Also watch the SD's emails for our weekly luncheon location

Christmas Is Almost Here
I remember when I was a kid and was really excited that Christmas was almost here. It was such an exciting time because my grandfather made a really big deal about the season. Time changes a lot of things but I still look forward to the holidays and all the fun. This year is no different. But, I do feel things are little more mellow this year. Must be my age but I don't feel as frazzled this year. Shopping is almost done and the family will be in Gtown on the 25th, but things will speed up on the 28th when the Rabbit Wrangler and Miss Emma visit with the "hounds".
Yesterday was exciting. I went in for cataract surgery. I had been told by many this was really a pretty simple operation, but until you go through it yourself .... I have to admit it was really painless and the results are amazing. This is the first time I could see out of my left eye without corrective lenses since the 7TH grade. Now I can't wait to get the right eye done in a couple of weeks. Will still use readers but that isn't a big deal. Getting out of bed in the morning and not fumbling around for glasses is great. And, no more hassle with contacts.
I see the SD has called for another Friday lunch in the Grill Room. Hope to see you all there.

Can You Believe It !?
Yes playing golf just before Christmas in just a sweater is pretty unbelievable for Northwest Ohio. But consider it was two days and it really stretches the imagination. OTR and I were the only ones to tee it up after lunch on Friday and got a quick nine holes in. The best part was I won a drink from OTR. A first for me. Then on Sunday I played another nine with LTG and his Mrs. Both days we had very pleasant conditions with minimal winds. The course is in really great shape.
Speaking of Friday lunch, we had a good crowd this past week. This week will be the last time we can meet before Christmas and hope to see all you there. The SOTD is over $250 and ripe for a win. That would be a nice way to start Christmas week with some extra change in your pocket.
In case you missed it we presented TTS with his locker door Sunday at his open house. Yes you heard right his locker door complete with all his plaques and name tag. I don't know what he plans to do with it; maybe give tours of his basement or garage. I must say it does show quite an accomplishment on the links at BCC.
Hope to see you Friday,

Lots Of Kleenex
That's what I have been using the past week. It seems we brought back a cold from Mickey Land; or at least the Nurse did. I may have caught mine here based on the number of people I've talked to that have a runny nose and coughs. In fact it is so bad that TTS postponed our cookie icing party for 36 to 48 hours. I had to put my icing tools back in the drawer for a while. That's too bad since I get to eat my many mistakes. You know what a perfectionist he can be.
Obviously there hasn't been any golf the past week. The weather just won't cooperate. I tried watching the Golf Channel and the Three Tour Challenge over the weekend, but just couldn't into it. Seems like golf on TV has had no attraction for me since the Ryder Cup. But, I am looking forward to the first week of January when the season starts in Hawaii.
The SOTD money has been deposited for safe keeping. I didn't know the Hollywood Casino had a deposit program. They are such easy people to deal with. Just joking the money is actually safe and sound in my home safe. Believe me it is really safe since I forgot the combination again. Does anyone have a diamond tip drill bit and a high speed drill?
Hope to see you at lunch on Friday in the grill. Greg promises he will take care of us as long as the club is open until the end of the year.

December Golf
Saturday was one of those rare late fall days (not officially winter yet) where we could tee it up and not have brass monkey weather. A bunch of us showed up on Saturday and chased the ball around the course. It was really a great day to play. Mild temps, and a firm dry course. The greens may have been a little slow, but rolled pretty true. Good for me since the putter was working along with some other parts of my game. Between two different games I won more in one day than I basically did all year. It was good to see the Sd back in the saddle. He didn't even ask for extra strokes.
I don't what this was about but ABE declared himself the winner of the FGGA (?). That raised a few eyebrows from some of his fellow friends. I even heard about a move to have an investigation and hearings before the Golf Comm. But he is probably home free since we all know that hearing don't amount to anything. Have to give ABE credited for making the trophy grab though. I suppose OTR will quit muttering by Spring.
Another Winter Dance is in the record books. Another good party and fun for all attending. Kudos to the staff.
I have had a number of requests for a list of all the people I refer to . I have to admit I even get confused at times. I developed the code names to protect the innocent. There is a roster of the JR/SRS which I maintain in my home safe. I'm working on a way to distribute the list in safe manner so that some of you won't be confused all the time. But first I have to remember the combination for the safe. The Nurse would really appreciate that since her jewelry was locked up when we went to Mickey Land. She has suggested hypnosis to see if I can remember where I hid the paper with the combo. More on that later, but I should have something out for you in the near future.
Tomorrow looks like it may be the last day for golf for a while. Hope to see you at the training table.
