Thought you might like to know that some of us NEVER stop thinking about golf! Here's to the beginning of the season...and I'm not thinking about whether Tiger is going to make a come-back, I'm wondering if Chris will have a decent handicap!

Watching the year wind down...there comes an idea from Chris. I put it out first to you users of the blog. Here's Chris' message:
Harris Golf has a special called the Preservation Pass. It gives you a
round of golf with cart at one of three 18-hole courses plus another round
(walking) at one of four 9-hole course for $50.

I received one of these for Christmas last year, it's a fantastic deal.

Check out the web site:

I was thinking this would be a fairly inexpensive way for a bunch of us to
play a couple of different course next year.

Personally, I think it's a great idea...but would want a commitment from you friends so that I could be assured of someone with whom to go. Let's talk about this right here.

Fall on the course

I've been out on the course for the last three days. It's a little wet, but, wow, is it in good shape! The ball seems to go less far also. I've gone up a club with some good results. I complained the other day about being kept at a 6 handicap...then went out and shot a 35! So today, I went out confident about my 6 handicap and shot a 43! Who invented this game???!! The other day I pulled out my big headed driver and put the ball 4 feet from the pin on #7. Today I tried the same and was four shots just getting onto the green. Yikes! Anyway, I had the pleasure of watching putts go in from everywhere off the club of Les Demmons who shot a 34 (he's a 7 handicap!). Really...what a putter...just amazing!
I guess the point is that there is still some good weather left to take advantage of our beautiful course. I hope to see some of you out there before it closes for the winter.

Glow Ball cont.

Chris is in a deep depression about the continued cancellation of the Glow Ball Tourney. Speak below if you have any good suggestions for him. It looks as though this Thursday may be decent weather...however, I know that I cannot be there. I'll save my ball for next year.

Wacko Wacko World of Golf!

For those of you that missed it. We rearranged the course last Sunday before the Board meeting and had a ball playing a course that featured four (4) par fours! Of course (paste) Chris Blum won the day and...ALSO, had a hole-in-one on the hole from the 5th tee to the second green! Congratulations, you sand-bagger you!!
The week has also featured a broken right elbow on the first tee by Butch Wall...is there a plaque for that?? We will miss you Butch...heal well!
This game is so strange. Today I went out for 18 with Les and shot a 31...and a 40! Yikes!
Make sure to show up at the annual fall meeting in October where, among other things, prizes will be awarded and the assembled members will vote on NEXT YEARS MEMBERSHIP FEE! If you don't attend, you can't vote! Come hear the discussion and have your say.

Glow-ball

Weather permitting, the glow-ball tourney will be given another chance next Thursday. Let's hope for good weather.
If anyone is interested, I'll have my money out on Sunday afternoon at 1:00PM. If we get enough people, let's play some interesting format.

Open/Happy Hacker Results!

Well...On a fabulous weekend of weather there was fabulous golf. The winner of the gross was Mike Collins (134) and the net winner was, guess who...Chris Blum (116) (I just have to hit paste on my computer). Second place in those catagories went to John Jacques and Les Demmons. It's a long haul over 36 holes, but everyone had a great time. Now on to Glow Ball!
