Catching Up

I'm finally able to catch up with what's been happening this week.  We had router problems at the house and that lead to a lack of Internet connectivity which lead to no blog.  Things are back on track now.  I have to give Buckeye credit.  They replaced my router with theirs (because of the Gateway system) at no charge, plus corrected a number of other problems i encounter with hooking up the new digital boxes.

Golf has been fun this week (for me at least) since I was on the winning team both Tuesday and Thursday.  In preparation for Championship Week I choose a format where basically all balls counted.  Based on the moaning, complaining, cursing and general grousing you would have thought I committed high crimes and misdemeanors.  I thought everyone would embrace the toughness and welcome the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming challenge this weekend.  Boy was I wrong.  I guess the $5.00 is a bigger deal than the entertainment value from playing in our group.  Anyway my bank account is looking better than it did on Monday.  Actually I think I just recovered some of my own money which was lost earlier.

The SOTD is reaching the $200.00 mark again.  The LR Dr. made his annual contribution and swore never to play again.  He says he is the only person in the club who hasn't won.  I told him things might be different if he would only follow the motra of "keep the fives".  It has worked for others (on rare occasion). 

I know there is a great deal of confusion over the club championship format.  It's another example of the "no good idea goes unpunished".  In an effort to create enthusiasm.....  Brad has promised to review the situation and I think next year we'll be back to the way we used to do it for the seniors.  And, remember we do have the JRSR Championship coming up which has been our major. 

Speaking of important golf tournaments the Mars vs. Venus is fast approaching.  Look on the bulletin boards, email notices and etc. for details.  The Mars team has never lost and we don't want a different result in 2014.  The Pig Roast will be open the entire club so everyone can enjoy our celebration.

Gotta go take the trash out,
