That's what happened Sunday in the couples shamble. We all got Ziemed. TZ paid off the Pro Shop and got a new member who could hit it out of sight. His team posted some ridiculously score that even LTG couldn't beat with his length and his stacked team (Twinkle Toes and Bruce V). The rest of us were just chum for the sharks. Aanyway congrats to TZ, and remember the thing about paybacks. One of the best turnouts in a long time.
Saturday was another fun day. LTG made a cameo appearance for the SD who is still IR. It was a tough battle but Dr. AH and I couldn't overcome LTG's length off the tee. We put up a valiant effort but ended up losing two bets. How about the green speed? Just where we all like it. Now we need "a come to Jesus meeting" with the guy setting the pins. There were a few challenges Saturday.
Great weather this week. See ya at the traing table.

Prime Night
The SD pulled off another one of his successful JR/SR gatherings Wednesday with a full dinning room for prime rib dinner. All the important players were seen in attendance dressed in their spring finery (isn't that what the society page writers say?) Enough of that dribble; back to the important stuff.
Thursday was another great day weather wise and 15 rabid golfers showed up to take up the challenge of BCC. The competition was hot and heavy. I'm not really sure who won since I had to make a quick exit. But, I do know it wasn't JJ, Dr. J and myself. We were playing OK until the turn and then it was like someone turned out the lights. We gave 6 shots back and finished DFL. I guess double bogeys really do matter.
Editors note:: I'm not sure what happened to my posting on Wednesday. I'm going to try to resurrect it and re-post it. It was fairly important sinc Dr J was put on triple secret probation for winning the SOTD for the 5th time.
Saturday and the next few days look to be great with soaring temperatures. Hope to see all of you on the course.

PS - With the stag coming up I think that it would be a good time to have a road trip. The GWH has expressed an interest in having us come to Chippewa to see what he has done to the course. I've previewed it and think you'd be impressed. Let's discuss next week.

Now You Can Go For It!
In case you haven't heard part of the big tree at the creek on #14 (by the walking bridge) fell on Friday afternoon. This should make it easier to go for the green for us short hitters. The SD wanted relief on Saturday to no avail. It was still attached and he wasn't entitled to any. If it was broken off completely he might have gotten relief under the loose impediment rule (if he could move the branch/trunk). And, making a stretch to ground under repair he would have been able to go back as far as he wanted (nearest point of relief), but he still had problems clearing it. To say the least it presented an interesting situation. Even Brad said he disliked those kinds of rules questions.
Did you go to Demo Day? Based on my observation a lot of you did. I don't know how many orders were placed but a lot of demoing was going on. My only interest was Taylor Made. I liked everything I tried. Now all I have to is justify buying some new arrows for my quiver. The problem is we all know everything works great on the range, but doesn't once you own it. Maybe they will come up with a short term lease program.
Remember the US Open qualifier on Tuesday. We probably won't be able to play until late.
See ya,

PS - Problems with putting? Talk to Jason. A tip in casual conversation really helped me. TZ said he really is a good teacher and kept it simple.

Yes I Can
Tuesday was one of those days where no one was playing well, and that included yours truly. I don't know what the problem was. It could have been the rough, the slow greens, or any number of things. All I know it wasn't pretty. So I decide to break my rule about not playing on Wednesday and play since I know I can't play that badly two days in row. Well you can throw that theory out. Wednesday wasn't any better than Tuesday. Thankfully we got rained off the course and stopped the agony after 2 holes.
I wasn't sure what to expect yesterday, but decided I might as well attempt golf again. It was a good day to play weather wise and a bunch of us teed it up. It seems the golf gods were back on our side and we all played much better. The greens were much faster, but the rough is still brutal. The best advice about that from the pro shop was "don't get in it". LTG, Uncle Bob and the rest of their crew walked off with the loot.. It was a closely contested competition though. My team probably would have won if we didn't give back three shots on #14. (what a disaster that was).
The US Open qualifier is next Tuesday. I'm not sure how big the field is so I'm guessing we won't play. You may want to come out and see how the big boys do it though, This year looks like it will be much warmer than last year when we all almost got hypothermia.
See ya at the training table.

The Cat Was Away
And the mice played anyway. At least that is what the attendance sheets said along with the wad of cash the LR Dr. gave me from the SOTD. Well I'm back and had the opportunity to catch up with everything before makng it over to the training table. Some things never change. The BS flowed and I contributrd my $5.00 to someone's retirement fund. There was an adjustment from SC grass and greens to NW Ohio. Can't wait for the grass to quit growing and the greens to speed up.
Talked with TTS and am glad to hear he is on the mend. Also saw DW last night and he said they really aren't sure what happened but said he could resume normal activity. Now if the SD gets his wing back in shape things will be getting back to normal. Guys we're starting to resemble our friends in the other room.
We had a good trip to HHI. Even visted the Rabbit Wrangler and his family on the way home. It was his 11th birthday (They do grow up quickly). We stopped overnight in Knoxville. There were a number of participants from a car show staying at our hotel. They put on a mini version of the show in the parking lot and we saw some really neat street rods. The best may have been the 1937 Willys (never seen one before). It was was really well done and had a perfect paint job that was 20 years old. That car was probably the original compact. I'll try to get some pictures on my next post.

Greetings From HI
It is now Wednesday and the middle of our stay in the low country. The weather has been outstanding, the food great,lots of good times with our friends, and the golf...we won't talk about that. As many of you know Mr/Mris SD are staying with us for the week. Unfortunately The SD aggravated an old should/arm injury hauling one of the Mrs suitcases out of the trunk and hasn't been able to do anything but chip and putt. Kinda of put a damper on any competition with the GWH. Slap Shot Ron is also spending a few days in HHI before going on to Savanna to visit family. The three of us played a little skin game (with verification) with the SD being the referee. It turned into a comedy show when anyone of us got to the verification part. The final result was no money changed hands. The next time you see Slap Shot ask him if he needs a break.
Because of the bad wing the SD is heading back early to seek medical treatment. So I think we'll spend the rest of the week by the pool and relaxing in the sun (which is abundant). Maybe a little shopping and definitely a few nights at some our favorite restaurants. And then we head back to Pburg with a stop for the Rabbit Wrangler's 11th b-day. Who knows maybe one more round of golf, but not a priority at this point.

Pity The Cold!
The Nurse and I departed yesterday for our annual trip to Hilton Head. The weather was cool but Sunny. The farther south we drove the warmer it got. We arrived today to temps in the mid 80's and bright blue sky. We later learned that you people stuck in Ohio were suffering trough a cold and dreary day. In fact someone said they saw flurries (that was while we were sitting by the pool having an ice cold brew) As Mr T would say "pity the fools" back home. Just kidding but I'm glad I'm here for the week. Mr/Mrs SD are joining us and we will hook up with Mr/Mrs GWH for some golf and adult beverages. Also understand Slap Shot and Peg will join us for few days before visiting family in Savannah.
Thursday golf saw OTR and the SD pair up in a blind draw to win the treasure. OTR said that was the first time he was a winner.(hard to believe). You guys will have to manage without me for a week so maybe you can convince TTS to come over and be the organizer. He's great at that kind of thing.
There is a small lagoon below our unit that is full of frogs. Noisy frogs! I don't suppose the locals would take kindly to me hunting a few of the little rascals. Also the sea turtles are nesting so we have to be doubly careful about them.
Talk at ya all later.
