That's what I felt like after golf yesterday with the Nurse and Mr/Mrs El Presidenta. And we played early! I can't imagine what the people felt like that teed off at 1PM.
Big couple of days for John B (aka Kennel Club, KC for short). First on Tuesday he wins half of the pot in the SOTD ($67.00). Then yesterday he dunks one on #4 for for his first hole in one at BCC. But he had to share the limelight with Mrs. LTG who made an ace while playing in the group just ahead of KC. What are the odds of that happening again. Anyway the hot and thirsty appreciated the adult beverages.
The heat is forecasted to continue for a few more days and then cool off to the 80's (break out the sweaters). Although right now it is going need to clear up if we are going to reach 80.
Keep cool and see ya at the training table.

PS - Jim E shot 78 on Tuesday to help his team take 2/3 of the money. Ask the SD and TZ if they now understand Front, Back, and Total. They were sure having problems on Tuesday.

Wash Out (Sung To Wipeout)
You could see it building all afternoon. The real question was whether it would hit before or during the annual fireworks bash. Remember a couple of yearts ago when the big storm hit during the dinner hour of the party? What a mess that was. Maybe we got lucky this time. I know this was a big problem for the staff, but at least we didn't have 800 people trying to find shelter frrom the rain and hail. I haven't seen hail like that for quite awhile. Any way let's hope tonight goes better.
Saturday golf was a rare win for the good guys. It really came down to the final putter who normally is pretty reliable, but not this time. I won't mention names but somone became quite twitchy from 2 feet. The $6.00 helped defray prior loses. Next week will be another chapter in this long running epic.
This week looks to be another warm one.

PS - Did you see the Blade article on Doc Watsons and the featured sandwhich "The Full Thiebert"?

A Narrow Victory(s)
That's what happened over Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday was won in a score card playoff by the team captained by TTS. And on Wednesday OTR lead his team to a two stroke victory. I didn't play on Thursday because of the stag, hot weather, and errands to run. So you tell me what happened.
I had a minor scare on Tuesday. I thought the SOTD money disappeared. No, I didn't go to the casino. But the pouch wasn't in it's normal hiding place. I must have had a senior momment and forgot I took it home for an audit. Anyway it is safe and sound. But, I think I'll leavr it home through the holiday weekend.
In case you're wondering there is $125.00 in the pot.
It looks like another big 4th of July party for the club. The last count I heard was north of 650. I'm sure that will grow by Sunday. I hope everyone enjoys the fun. The weather forecast looks
for hot dry days for the near future.
See ya at the club.

You Know It's Summer
You know it's summer when the Jack N' Jill rolls around. A good crowd showed up Sunday for a BCC tradition. You'll have to check the board for the winners since I can't remember who they were. I do know that the Nurse was on the second place team. My team plated hard but couldn't get the ball to fall in the hole. Oh well, someone has to get the participation award.
Saturday golf was more of the same. Dr AH and I can't figure out how the SD only plays well when he gets a stroke. At least his handicap started to move down. There is always next week.
Brad and Jaysen are in California for the club professionals tournament. After the first round Jaysen was tied for 26th and Brad was tied for 177th. The low 70 players make the cut for the final two rounds. Keep your fingers crossed. The low 20 players make it into the PGA Championship.
I know I speak for many of us when I say I'm completely baffled why we have a tennis court in the middle of 7 fairway this coming weekend. The range tee seems more suited for this for a number of reasons. Primarily it wouldn't cause any disruption while providing a level playing surface. Did someone forget this is the busiest week of the club season coming up. I haven't heard one board member who seems to know anything about why we are doing this. It maybe Wimbledon coming up but the last time I checked BCC was a golf club that offered tennis for those who are interested.
It looks like another good week for golf.

Billy Crystal Weather!
Tuesday was hot, hot,hot! But there was a warm breeze that made it tolerable. A good crowd showed up in spite of the heat and we had a nice game. Fortunately I was on the winning team (we all contributed). LTG coined a new term on #17. A 3 for 2 will now be referred to as Men's Warehouse and a 2 for 1 (on a par 3) as a Joe Banks. A 2 for 1 on a par4 is still a Billy. Is anyone confused yet?
Today looks to be more of the same. Keep col and drink Gatorade.

PS don't forget that Brad and Jasen are off to the Monterrey area for the PGA Club Pros Championship. You can it on TV on the Golf Channel.

A Long Day
Last Friday the Nurse and I picked up my Dad in Findlay and took him on day trip to the air museum at Wright Patterson AFB. My son had made arrangements for us to take the behind the scences tour of the restoration work they do at the museum. The big project they are working on is the Memphis Belle (WWII B-17). Some of you may remeber this was the play that flew 25(?) missions over Germany. The plane and crew were famous for this because of the high attrition rate of the B-17's due to lack of fighter escort in the early days of the bombing campaign. The tour lasted 2 1/2 hours and was really interesting. The restoration is in the 6th year of a 10 year project. Everything is done by hand because there are no manufacturing records to work from. There are really some talented people working on this. Anyway my Dad was really into the whole thing since he used to fly on a B-26 in the Carribean during the war. After the tour we went through several of the museum exhibits. If you never done this you should. This is a world class museum. To give an example of what you can view - a B-52 suspended fom the cieling. You really can't appreciate that until you see it. From start to finish the trip took about 15 hours (but well worth it).
Saturday golf was impacted by twoo things. First I was tired from Friday and out of kilter as evidence by my play and second the SD was on fire ( probably because of his birthday). The results weren't good. I'll leave it there.
Yesterday was a TDGA rating day. We did a little 9 hole course by Payne, OH. Little did we know we would encounter 3 road closures on the way there. Our GPS was not much help, and we found out many older farmers don't have any interest in golf. None that we asked for directions had ever heard ogf Pleasnt Valley Golf Club. The most interestiong part of the trip was seeing the 50 unit windmill farm that the state has errected. We were told the farmers love it because of the land leases and the low noise levels. I'm sure where it cnnects to the power grid but it was an impressive sight.
Finally, how about the final round of the US Open. It is good to know even the pros can hit a wild shot at the wrong time.
It is going to be hot for the next few days. Keep hydrated on the course.

Another One!
Yes, we have another JR/SR on double secret probation. LTG rolled five fives in two rolls to claim $58.00 and make the probation list. That make four currently branded with the scarlet letter. Not to worry we still have money left and awaiting to be claimed. There are still a couple of virgins among our ranks. They keep trying but are snake bit. I won't mention any names (to protect the unlucky) but you know who you are.
The golf was unremarkable with my team getting pencil whipped in the end. The field was rather light with several members being AWOL. The only one given a pass is TZ who went to Florida to get his ears lowered (a haircut for you from Rio Linda). Who knows where the rest of them are.
It's US Open week and that means the BCC Invitational. The course will be congested for the next few days. Even closed to play on Friday. Check with Gilholey for the road trip plans for Friday.
Stay cool,
