Velcro

I think when they aerified the greens this week they replaced the grass with Velcro.  At least that was the consensus among the seven of us who teed it up yesterday.  Actually it was only on the backside where most of us had a problem (remember they were done last week).  The grounds crew was working on the front nine and they were surprisingly fast(er) than we anticipated.  It was hard to make the adjustment for the second nine.  But who can really complain.  We had snow on Monday and play on Thursday.  Twinkle Toes got a hot putter and was the medalist for the day.  OTR was second and Slap Shot (yea he showed up wearing a tie) was third.  The rest of us were just donors, but I was a close 4th.

We tried to have a winner in the SOTD, but everyone kept coming up one dice short.  Sixes were very popular.  I even had a tough decision whether to keep the fives or go for the sixes.  Well against my better judgement I went for the sixes and rolled fives.  Just goes to prove you can't defy one of the great SOTD constants;  KEEP THE FIVES!  Oh well, the pot is still small, but growing.

We all met one of the new Intermediate members.  Twinkle Toes actually talked with him on the course when we let him play through.  Of course he introduced him to the rest of us later and called him Brent when his name was Adam.  Nice.  We covered for him by explaining he has been having a lot of senior moments.  Adam, to his credit, gave a knowing nod and laughed it off.

Saturday looks good for golf.
