Finally

Yes we finally got to tee it up on Saturday.  While it was the first full day of Spring it was still pretty chilly.  I was finally able to use the cart cover the Nurse gave me for my birthday last fall, and it did help with the cool breezes we were getting around the lakes.  I didn't break out the cart heater since I was only planning on playing nine holds.  Now if I could only figure out how to fold the cover and get it in the small little bag it comes in.  Right now it is stuffed in the back of my SUV.  but, it was great to get out and hit the ball.  The course is really in great shape.  The greens were slow, as expected, but rolling true.  The slow melt we experienced really has helped to keep the fairways firm and dry.  Too bad the weather is going to turn cold this week.  Maybe we can sneak in some holes on Wednesday if it doesn't rain.

Put TTS on your prayer list.  He is going in for open heart surgery this morning at St. V's.  They discovered two blockages that need to be taken care of.  I know this surgery is pretty common, but it is still major.  St. Gwen has promised to keep me up to date, and I'll pass along info when available.  It has been a rough couple of years for TTS but he's hanging in there.

Remember one more lunch at the casino.  Last Thursday was pretty well attended even though a number of people were missing.  As usual Don M. was seen with a slot machine ticket in his shirt pocket.  I don't know how much he won since the amount was hidden from view,  but he's been pretty lucky the last few times.

See ya later,
