Just a great story.        I felt like I was with you guys.      The tour each of you gave was perfect.
The best part of the total package was/is the highlight reel.      Each of you ‘unknowingly’ (?) gave a completely different tour, so to speak.
Yes, please’…..for the X !!       HA !!!       I’m positive I would have said, ‘screw you’
Sir Ian Botham ?       Ian, could you hold this for me…..!.

I actually played a round of golf yesterday.  I think this was the first time in two years?  Wow…..
I did it right by practicing the short game on Friday evening and then hitting the driving range and putting about 3 hours before teeing off yesterday. Had about 2 hours down time after the practice session.

Anyway….the putter is always there.  Lags were good.  Everything inside about 4 feet is automatic.
Could not believe the way I was hitting driver.  Pulled a few a bit to start but nothing serious.  Always playable.  But on the back 9 I was either straight down the middle or with a slight fade.  On 18 I had 85 yards to the hole on a par 4 after my tee shot.

Pitching and chipping was a bit of a problem.  Have to get the confidence around the greens again. Oh…and played through a short term wind storm that made me throw away the score card mid way through the front nine.
All in all it was fun and I have high hopes for the next round which will likely be today or tomorrow.

I was sitting here thinking about this and thought I’d write a nice long post. Not as long as 8ed’s PGA story but this is just something y’all might want to chime in on or not. Here goes… In all sports throughout the years there have been many great champions. On the other side of that coin though, there have been those with great promise who failed miserably under the pressure of winning. I could sit here and site many of both but that would take a lot of typing that I just don’t feel like doing right now. Besides that, it’s not the point of this post to point out those who have succeeded and those who haven’t. I think some people are simply born for the moment, and excel when the pressure is at it’s greatest. Then there are those who are better than everyone else during the regular season or preliminary rounds but wilt in the last round or during the championship match. It’s not always the most skilled player who wins. No I think it’s the player who thrives on the pressure, welcomes it even, because it’s those moments that make it all worthwhile. I have played a number of different sports in my life. Team sports like baseball, basketball, and even bowling. I’ve been on golf leagues that were comprised of two man teams. I have never really competed solo in any sport where I was playing in a championship, except when I was a member of the Moose Lodge and we had flighted tournaments. Of the 3 times I played in the state and national events, I finished 2nd net twice and first once in my flight, the B flight. In baseball I’ve won 2 city league championships and have won a few league championships in bowling. Never won anything in basketball but didn’t play much organized basketball. For me personally, I always played better when the pressure was on. Sure there were times I didn’t succeed when I needed to but more often than not, I was able to execute when the pressure was on. I loved those moments. I can appreciate the ability of a professional golfer, especially those that perform best under pressure (Sorry Greg Norman you don’t make that list). But I always found it was most rewarding to help my team win. The celebration afterwards with my teammates are the times I’ll remember the most. Especially the teams I had lost with one year then when reaching the championship the following year, remembering the bitter taste of defeat, an willing my teammates to do better and seeing them succeed was the best. I used to love bowling. It was fun and I was pretty good at it. I bowled on a big money league with 4 other bowlers who were pretty darn good too. My closest friend on the team, Mike was once on the PBA tour. He also teaches bowling to high school students and drills balls. He’s the equivalent of a PGA teaching pro who can re-shaft clubs and fit them for you. Back in 1998 we were in the final week before the championship round and all we had to do was win the last game. Teams were made up of 5 men and it’s your total score against the other team’s total score including handicap. Mike bowled 4th in the order and I bowled 5th. Being 5th or anchor is important because often the game is close and you have to be able to throw 3 strikes in the 10th frame under pressure. Well Mike threw his first ball in the 10th and left 1 pin, the 8 pin. Probably one of the easiest spares there is to pick up. Well he missed it. Now I knew I had to strike out to have a chance. I did but so did their anchor and we lost by 2 pins. The next year we were in the same basic position. We had to win 2 of the 3 games  and total pins to make the championship. The memory of the previous year was fresh in my head. We lost the first game by over 150 pins. A blowout. I was the only one on my team that bowled over 200, but just barely. I told those guys, I’m not going to let it happen again and I changed balls, threw a strike then a spare then over the next 2 games threw 20 more strikes in a row. The rest of my team started to relax after I threw about 6 in a row, and the other team started pressing and they faltered and we beat them the last two games by over 250 pins, went on to the championship match the next week and won. Whenever I talk to my friend Mike these days he still brings it up. The ironic thing is that I sprained my elbow a few months before that and didn’t bowl for the longest time and still wasn’t near 100% when all this took place. In fact, after that season I didn’t bowl for 3 years. I eventually found another team to bowl on and won 2 championships with them. Oh yeah that night I threw the 20 in a row, I won over 800 bucks in jackpots. That was some nice icing on the cake for sure.

For me the taste of losing is much more bitter than the sweet taste of victory. Knowing that bitter taste is motivation enough to succeed. Enjoying the celebration with teammates is what makes the memories last. Reminiscing with them from time to time makes me feel younger, but reminds me of how time flies.

 1st round leader in our Club Championship shot an easy 62. 10 under….Oi, it’s just not fair. Sure the course was short, & we played lift clean & cheat from the fairway (had I hit one of those it might have been easier) due to the 2″ of rain that fell in about 30 minutes last night. But…

One of the things about the Treehouse, is, that most of us “know” eachother to a certain degree. We all come from different walks of life, different countries too. The world, thanks to the internet, is a much smaller place than it was when we were born. In those far off days, the world was a different place, things like racisim, could, to some degree be kept “in house” so to speak. This is not only true in the USA, but everywhere, including Britain when I live. In those days, the media, couldn’t report certain things that would compromise governments and establishments.The ’60’s changed all that really. The Vietnam war, ultimatly ended with the people protesting about it until Nixon had little choice but to withdraw. No war can be won without the nation’s support. Dr Martin Luther King and his dream forced many whites to look at blacks as equals. The Berlin wall fell because of a dockyard strike in Poland led by Lech Walesa and Solidarity. Here, Maggie Thatcher’s unpopular Poll Tax was withdrawn by the people’s stand against it.
The shooting of the young  black man was bound to cause a stir, as he was unarmed. Police would be on edge, are only human and make mistakes. The protests that have followed, like Rodney King 23 years ago, remind us of a historically suppresed race who were once slaves only 150 years ago. 100 years after Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, blacks were still segregated from the “superior” whites in the deep south. 100 years. Is it any wonder many of them still feel the only way to be heard is through protesting ? Emotions run high and there will be times it will spill into violence. I am not condoning that. But I understand it.

 But, here in the Treehouse, we all have opinions about everything. We don’t always agree. That is a good thing. If you look at the Slingers map, more than half of the Slingers are American. America’s population is more than Britain, Canada, Singapore and the rest put together. When the mass shootings happen there, followed by the usual gun debate, emotions begin to run high, some American Slingers seem to feel it is a personal attack when non Americans question the logic of the NRA and the supporters of personal firearms. It isn’t comfortable to be forced to look at ones own flaws. We all have them, let there be no doubt about that. When it is a nations flaw and the gun laws in America are, IMO, a huge one, it almost becomes “Us against the world” kind of mentality, becuase of the outrage of such killings that seem to go on and on, now matter how terrible they are.

Because of the internet, we can all gather here, discuss things, golf together, even dare I say, become friends in some cases. But it also means we have to accept that things can’t be brushed under the carpet as they used to be, we have to face our flaws, accept we need to change some things that used to be acceptable. We are wide open now, no where to hide. We can’t look the other way like we used to.

Just my honest opinon 🙂

EMC2

Few of us ever get on our ‘high horse’ and say what we feel…what’s in our gut.     Maybe it’s the upbringing ?     Maybe it’s an event we were witness too…or worse….party too ?     Then, there are those who read a few articles and have the answers to all evils ?  AKA:  politicians.
I hope to Christ I’m not one of those.

That said, I must say this.      I would not in a million years want to be a cop (police officer).     Everyday they are sworn to uphold the laws of their land, regardless of motive, and they do their best.        Most of them do.

Whatever happened in Missouri (wherever it did or could happen, because it happens every day) is not the issue.    The problem is, how the media presents it !        Simply put, the media can make or break anything as they see fit.      Surprise ?
I’ve said a hundred times that I can identify a problem.     That doesn’t mean I’m smart enough to solve the problem…!

Only the media and the radicals can do that.      And frankly, we let them.

Boo Hoo!  My mates, Easing & Scrums are going to play Celtic Manor in 3 weeks.  Originally I planned to play with them but to be honest the 2010 Ryder Cup course is very long, undulating and has too many long carries over water for someone of my skill level.  A few RC players will testify to its difficulty.  There is also the small matter of my right hip giving me gyp (although admittedly that is a secondary consideration).  However, I couldn’t bear to be left out, so Scrum’s lovely wife, Sue, said “Come on up  anyway” so I shall.  Might follow the lads around for a few holes (unless it’s raining) but lunch and a glass or two of wine appeals rather more than dunking several balls, followed by my clubs, into the drink.  At least Sue won’t have to cope with my run away trolley.

 So during our evening walk with the dogs I decided to take on going down on a hill with a 30 degree decline……and the hill won.
After a double toe flip, a triple Lutz and a full throttle face plant I landed flat on my ass  about an inch away from the poison oak.
I managed to hang onto the dog, didn’t break my glasses ,didn’t lose my phone and the only thing that got hurt was my pride.
Meanwhile my wife got injured during my roller coaster ride downhill…..she pulled a muscle laughing her ass off !

OK – I’ll get back to the posts later.
Hurrah, Mark & I won our knockout competition today – through to next round. We had to choose odds or evens to tee off; usually the ladies take the odds as we start with a short par 3.  However Mark, who is somewhat of an oddball anyway, declared that he felt his driving wasn’t accurate enough lately, so he preferred me to drive off on the long holes, relying on me to put him in the fairway where he could go for the green.  We squared the first hole with a par.  Then we had a Seve moment.  I did put Mark in the middle of the fairway & he whacked a long ball left of the hole.  Thought it was o/b but found it left of the bank guarding the green.  Hit the best chip shot over that bank than I’ve hit in years to a couple of feet from the hole.  1 up.  3 up after 4.   Squared the 5th.  Oh dear, hit one of my worst tee shots on the 6th to put Mark in the woods (no, not the trees – in the woods proper).  Fortunately  that was one of the two holes  where we had to give them a shot, so it wasn’t a disaster to lose it.  Back to 3 up after the 7th where Mark hit a great drive and I hit a nervy little wedge over the bunker but close enough for him to make the putt.  The 8th was a bugbear.  I hit a good

 I love being a part  of ” The Slingers ” but am signing off for good and I need all of your help.
As some of you may have read I am afflicted with a disease called PTSD. It is a stress disease of the brain which controls all the body. I was attacked  by this awful condition at age 18 following events at the Military Academy at West Point. Coming from a very dysfunctional family, it didn’t take much to tip the scales. Several upperclassmen bullies snatched me sleeping in my bunk, late one night. They wrapped a wet towel around my head, to prevent me seeing them. They stripped me naked and hauled me down the hall to the shower stalls and beat me and then began to drown me by holding my covered head under a shower. They held me there a long time, yelling, whooping and punching. I actually began to ” float ” away. Then a regular army officer happened by, they ran and I came to, lying in my own shit and cold water spraying over me. The officer was disgusted to see me and angrily ordered me to clean up the mess and get back to my rack. Long story short I had to leave the academy in disgrace, nerves shot. I fought with everything I had that night. I was able to get one arm free and hit someone hard enough to cause a scream. But as I fell limp and began the last little stretch to death and then was granted a reprieve my inner fear was tweaked forever.

He has houses in Clovis, two in Hawaii, one in Lompoc and I forget where else. Anyways, he tells me he wants to pay me to go renovate his house in LaHaina on Maui, and paint it. Go stay there, but I have to go stay there before I go out to work on it…………..He then goes, I’m so glad we ran into you…………….HUH, I’m just  LOW-LIFE SURFER DUDE………..haha
On a serious note, I think I’m gonna take him up on it in 5 months when the surf gets big in Hawaii. Go stay there for a month or two getting paid for playing in Paradise……..haha.

Just a cruise by. Hope all of you are well and Met is right about the Germans and their weather. I see 8 is now giving golf lessons. We’ll have to take away his amateur status….eh?
We have moved, fixed the inside of the joint…almost….painting and refurbishing and crap. Today we started in the yard and we are talking tool stuff; shovels, sledge hammers, etc.. Built a storage building and painted the damn thing too over the last few days. I am tired.
But….played golf yesterday with the wifey and all is good. I think I have the electric slide out of my swing now and all is turning more as it should. The last 9 I hit every fairway and every green in regulation….long time since that happened. It’s terrible to find what works at this age because the ball is closer to you after you swing than it used to be.
Wie looked good winning…impressive how she handled the dub on #16…eh? TW is back for better or worse. He reminds me of my ex wife…looks good, spews crap and never says anything! No wonder I never really cared for him!! Have a great day ALL!!!

Got to see Tiger make a bogey on 17 and then again on 18 (he started on the back).  Crowds were not as big as I would have thought.
My moment came when I was watching Keegan Bradley on the practice putting green.  He looks up at me and gives me a big smile, I’m thinking that was nice but I mean this was a really friendly smile.  He puts the putter down and starts to walk over to me and I’m thinking ehhh???? but then I notice the person standing next to me is a stunningly attractive young woman with a credential for inside the ropes.  He comes and gives her a kiss …
Damn him, he broke my heart

Played our fist match in this years partners championship this morning, we took second last year losing the final match on the last putt for birdie.  if today is any indication we should do well again this year.  I played one of my best rounds ever, shot even par 72 with 5 birdies and an eagle on my own ball.  quite a match really, 3 out of the 4 of us birdied the first hole, luckily their guy getting a stoke on that hole made a bogey.  on the par 5 510 yard 7th hole I was ahead of everyone with 205 left to the hole, my opponent in in the rough about 230 yards out, hits a low screamer that rolls up to 3 feet for eagle, I step up and hit my 4 iron hybid to 15 feet, then made the putt to tie the hole.  I wound up -5 on the par fives but only won just one of them, the 14th, we finished them off on the 16th hole 3 & 2.  great day of golf today.

An MBA and an Engineer go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fell asleep.
Some hours later, the Engineer wakes his MBA friend.
“Look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”
The MBA replies, “I see millions of stars.”
The Engineer asks, “What does that tell you?”
The MBA ponders for a minute: “Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.
Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, it’s evident the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?”
The Engineer friend is silent for a moment, then speaks.

 Five reasons the majority of Americans ignore The World Cup:
1. Too busy ignoring The Stanley Cup.
2. If we want to see fights in the stands we would go to a little league game.
3. Americans get nervous when they tune in on television to what appears to be an illegal immigration rally.
4. If we wanted to watch low scoring we would tune in the network that has Donald Trump’s show.
5. Who wants to be in a stadium full of Germans standing and raising their arms to cheer.  Not a great place to be.

On that trip I was supposed to go to Yosemite National Park but that was cancelled because of huge forest fires there that year. I finally made it to the park this weekend, 27 years late. It’s a magical place with spectacular waterfalls, giant sequoias, tons of wild life and breath taking hikes. The only thing that was missing was a bear encounter…bummer. Easily ranks in my top 5 of special places I visited , Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon, Yosemite, Zion, Canyon de Chelly.   I’m blessed to have seen all these places !!!

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough.
After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, Kin ya swallar?’
The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks, ‘Kin ya breathe?’

Read about the Rose penalty and saw the video . Maybe for the purist this is all fair and square. For me it’s total and utter bullshit that Rose ended up with a two stroke penalty.
However, if this would have been Tiger we would have had to endure another 6 months of the FUX troll ” he is a cheater” crowd. Thank the Lord this was a white guy from the UK it happened to. Everybody will have forgotten about it next week.

Good fun game with Susie, her husband & their friend,  Dave, today.  Ladies (term used loosely) vs Gents (even looser as Dave shouts “Dickhead!” at himself whenever he duffs a shot).  Overcast and cold wind, but at least it was dry – Tuesday was horrendously wet).  Sue & I won the first hole, but thereafter went 2 down and couldn’t pull it back as the Gents really did hit some superb shots.  We were 3 down when my battery died at the end of the 13th hole.  Sod’s law it would happen leaving me to push my trolley up the uphill par 5 14th!   Retired to the clubhouse for lunch and a glass of the red stuff with Susie, leaving the Gents to play the last 4 holes by themselves.

Lot of competitive golf coming up in the next few weeks.

2 Slingers still have to make their picks, but here is my weekly analysis.  I use the term “weekly” liberally, because this might be the first time I have done it this year.  Maybe it’s because it is a Major.  Anyway, here goes.  My analysis does not include alternates
The picks seem to be rather widespread with no clear, obvious consensus.  Kerr received the most 1st place votes with 4, but only garnered a grand total of 8.  Webb, Park and Lewis all received 3 1st place votes.  Park managed to get 10 overall and Lewis is the favorite with 13.
With 80 picks in, nobody seems too impressed with Feng.  The #7 in the RR, who already has one Major on her resume, collected just a single vote, that from GGS.  And the #6, Ryu, who also has a Major under her belt, collected just 2 picks.  Meanwhile, #38, Michelle Wie received 4, including one to win.
The lowest selection came from GGS, with #49 Lincicome.
Golf has the distinction of only selecting one golfer within the Top 20 in the RR.  His other three come in at 21, 29 and 38.  I hope you do well.  What?  No Dori Carter?
One rather obvious fact is our opinion of the European contingency.  With Petterssen out, the only European golfers to collect any votes are Nordqvist and Muñoz.  No Gal.  No Masson.  No Hedwall.  No Recari.  No Icher.
The Americans are playing extremely well this year, so I can’t blame the Slingers who picked them.  It seems like every one of them, except for maybe Stanford, is playing lights out.  Still, Asians have won 16 of the last 25 Majors.
Okay, bedtime for Bonzo.  Good luck to all, including Cal, who must’ve hit his head on a pier judging from his picks.

Metro referenced this above and much will be said about the ladies following the men at this year’s US Open. I know it is a few months away but it has the potential to become a HUGE point of discussion and cussing. It will be in June on Bermuda greens which should be quite thin after one of the coldest winters in history in NC (followed by what is shaping up to be a late spring). There will be areas of “winter kill” (dead areas) all over the golf course and will not show until the Bermuda comes out of dormancy and begins to grow. For those of you who do not know, a night time temp of at least 55* is required for Bermuda grass to grow. The greens are small to begin with and are like upside down saucers with very small actual playing surface. The USGA will make them as fast as possible and hard as a brick for the men.
All of this does not bode well, forget all of the divots in the fairways, for the ladies version to be played the following week. Pinehurst is a special place for many, me in particular as it is my birthplace, but I don’t feel the ladies will be getting a fair shake nor a course that is up to major standards, particularly after a 100,000? spectators have trampled over the course the prior week.
These two events will be one of the largest challenges the USGA Agronomy section has ever faced.

“It’s OK – the bunker stopped it.”(My favorite.)
At Augusta 2011 – “It’s just a glorious day. The only way to ruin a day like this would be to play golf on it.”
“That was a great shot – if they’d have put the pin there today.”
“Watching Phil Mickelson play golf is like watching a drunk chasing a balloon near the edge of a cliff.”

To play off of your quote above…Three Native American maidens desired to have children. One made love on a buffalo hide, one made love on a wolf hide, and the last made love on a hippo hide. After nine months the maidens on the buffalo and wolf hides each had a child.  The maiden on the hippo hide had twins. This proves that the sum of the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides.

Hi Chevy (and anyone else interested).

I did play 9 holes of golf yesterday and was rubbish so the less said the better. I am out  on Friday for our monthly mixed team Texas scramble. The weather is looking reasonable so I am hoping for some prize winnings (about £5!). The best ever bit of news however is that I am going to be a granny!

So here is how my day went with my Dutch visitors yesterday. In Pismo beach there is a park with big Eucalyptus tree where millions and millions of Monarch butterflies overwinter from Nov to Feb, a must see.

Although I honestly think that it’s still February all the butterflies are gone, back to Canada I suppose. The visit to the Elephant seals went as planned, next stop Hearst Castle. I didn’t book tickets ahead of time because the last time I was there weren’t many people and you could easily just buy the tickets upon arrival. So when I drove up to visitor center I already had an ” Oh Shit” moment, never seen so many bloody cars in the parking lot. And of course all of the tickets for the day were sold out. So instead we went cruising the piers and the beaches looking to spot whales or sharks and we saw the grand total of zero.

I had dinner booked at Steamers in Pismo with a table at the window to close off the day with a spectacular meal and an even more spectacular sunset over the ocean. Of course yesterday was like only the 3rd day since June that the sun didn’t show it’s face here so that was the final letdown on a day that totally didn’t go as planned.

My reputation as a travel guide extraordinaire suffered greatly yesterday.

The guy with Scott in this picture is Brent Long and caddied for Scott last year. Scott’s new caddy is Frank Williams who was on Stewart Cink’s bag for years.

If you’re a fan of TGC show, Big Break, you’ll recognize him. He was on Big Break Mexico last season and made it to the quarter finals.

Another cool thing about Scott is the fact that his home course is/was The Black Diamond in North Carolina and tugoo has probably played it a time or two.

Hello all. To all those across the pond, have a great Thanksgiving day. I used to do that when I was there, the last one was 1970. I like chicken better than turkey anyway 🙂

Winter is here in the northern hemosphere, but golf goes on. The weather here in the UK is still ok for a good knock. Played my place today, tomorrow I’m playing Weatherby GC, just 13 miles from my house here in York. All these years, I’ve played about 350 courses and never this one on my doorstep. I’ll put that right tomorrow. Winter isn’t all that bad, the golf Down Under is brilliant to watch. It’s always good to see them on those great courses. It’s also worth remembering, there is less golf to talk about in blogs, but it’ll soon be January and the new season proper. Everyone needs a break from it now and then.

Good to see that Metro is playing again. I can say 8 months after my shoulder op, I’m hitting the ball better than I have in the last 10 years, shot 77 today. I only say this to Met and others who have needed fixing, better times are ahead. I’m even back in the gym again and plan to get back to the wieght I was in my prime. It’s going well and I would definatly recommend it, I’m 56 soon and starting to feel a bit younger again. If any of you have a go, I’m sure you will feel better and even gain a few yards  ? 🙂

If you lot can stomach it, I’m hoping to spend more time here and do the odd post on a topic. I miss those from you all, enjoyed them all. EMC’s mining adventure stood out for me, in particular. I’m trying to remember if 8ed has ever done a topic, I can’t remember. mate, as you don’t play the famous tracks much, how about one on your home course ? I’d like that very much please :). I have a few things to do next year, hopefully I’ll do a post on some of them. Getting a kayack in March and plan a few river trips, I’ll take some great pictures hopefully.

Congrats to Radar for winning the cup too. Keep it in Europe, lol. Even if you have defected across the pond.:)

However many new faces come in here, I’d just like to say to the hard core Slingers , you’re a great bunch of people and so long as Met is willing to keep it all going, it will carry on. Please don’t think I didn’t want to be here, my life has been a very turbulant one the last few years and being away was the best thing to do while I get to grips with it all. It ain’t easy ! But things are a bit better so here I am, back to annoy you if you all don’t mind too much .

Finally POY honours for me go to Adam Scott, who by winning the Masters, smashed down a big barrier for Aussies the same way Seve did for Europeans when he won the Green Jacket for the first time in 1980. After Greg Norman’s so many near misses, it was a sweet moment for Australian golf. Even though I hate that putter, he to me has cemented it but winning like he has these last few weeks in Australia. I only hope he putts as well with a proper putter in a few years, he seems a great bloke and i wish him well. Goof looking bastard, lol.

Cheers

So….I played 9 with my son on the little par 3 course. I hit my first Tee shot pretty flush , just short of the green and proceed to make a par. He starts with a double…this is looking good.

Over the next 7 holes I don’t hit one green and as a matter a fact I even skanked a few of them . 4 bogeys and 3 doubles. I’m 2 strokes down with one to play. I’ve only lost to the kid once…..ever.

The last hole is the longest one at 190 yards, tee shot was ok but short. My chip was great , I have a 6 footer for par left. Son misses his bogey and he has a double. If I sink it I squeak out a tie. ………I hit it……perfect line…….perfect speed………dead center.

Is a 37 something to brag about??………Nooooooooooo……but hitting a clutch putt like that???….yup……..gotta love it.

I had to post this. It came off Facebook.

You’re a 19 year old kid. You’re critically wounded and dying in The jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam . It’s November 11, 1967. LZ (landing zone) X-ray. Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in. You’re lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you’re not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you’ll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day. Then – over the machine gun noise – you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter. You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn’t seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it. Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He’s not MedEvac so it’s not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway. Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come. He’s coming anyway. And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board.

Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety. And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!! Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm. He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey. Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise , Idaho May God Bless and Rest His Soul. I bet you didn’t hear about this hero’s passing, but we’ve sure seen a whole bunch about Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods and the bickering of congress over Health Reform. Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman Shame on the media !!!

So , my bro is visiting from Holland. He looks like John Daly and he has the same hobbies…booze, smoking and women ( in his dreams). In his world golf is for the rich and famous and boring old farts like me.

So I talked him into finally doing something sophisticated and I got him to play 9 holes on the little par 3 in town. First time ever he played. And he hits ALL his tee shots, they only went 70 -80 yards but they all went straight. And his putts went straight and he sank a 15 footer !! I was shocked.

The last time I went out I played shitty , didn’t hit one green and ended up with a 43 getting my ass kicked by my son with a 37 in the process. And guess what John Daly II shoots on his first time ever with a club in his hand………..right….a 43.

As for my own game, hit 5 of 9 greens, had 6 pars and 3 bogeys and with a score of 30 I beat my previous best on that course by 3 strokes. If my brother never plays again at least he got to watch history.

I send a few pics to Metro, maybe she can add them to the story.

That he is. But, how many people actually achieve the goals they set as a 7 year old? Ridiculously difficult quest to hold on to.

We really shouldn’t judge his success & failure based upon a 7 year old’s dream. He surely can, but we shouldn’t.

Actual human beings only strive to do their best.

If ANY OTHER golfer had 5 wins this year, & Tiger was one of those who had 2 wins, 1 a Major….there wouldn’t have been a single word written about who would be voted POY (5 wins is a career for 90% of those who play for pay) But, Tiger wrote checks as a kid that we expect him to cash 30 years later. We hold him to a different standard.

-Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know me?’ She responded, ‘Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I’ve known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you’ll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.’ The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?’ She again replied, ‘Why yes, I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He’s lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can’t build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.’ The defense attorney nearly died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, ‘If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I’ll send you both to the electric chair.

Charlie and Bob were two 90-year-old men who had been friends since their childhood days.  When it was clear that Charlie was dying, Bob visited him every day.  One day, Bob said, “Charlie, we have been friends all of our lives, and we have been playing golf together since we were 10 years old.  Can you do me one favor?  When you get into heaven, somehow you must let me know if there is golf up there.”  Charlie looked up from his deathbed and replied, “Bob, you have been my best friend all these years.  If there is any way at all, I will do this favor for you.”  Shortly after that, Charlie passed away.  A few nights later, Bob was awakened in the middle of the night by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out, “Bob, Bob.”  Bob sat up, startled. “Who is it?  Who is there?”  “Bob, it’s me, Charlie.”  “You’re not Charlie.  Charlie passed away,” said Bob.  “I’m telling you, Bob, it’s me, Charlie”, the voice insisted.  “Well then, where are you?” asked Bob.  “I am in heaven” said Charlie.  “And I have some really good news and some not so good news.”  Bob said, “tell me the good news first.”  “The good news,” Charlie said, “is that there IS golf in heaven.  Better yet, all of our old high school and college buddies who died before us are here, too.  Better yet, we are all young again.  And even better still, it is always springtime, but no rain.  The courses are beautiful.  The greens perfectly manicured.  And we play all the time.”  “That is fantastic,” said Bob.  “That is beyond my wildest dreams.  So, what’s the bad news?”  Charlie replied, “you have an 8:00 AM tee time Wednesday.

Everyone says they want someone who is honest. They say well just tell me the truth, I’ll understand. I have always done my best to be an honest person. I had to learn over time that sometimes tact is more important than honesty.

So be honest, but be tactful. Never be inconsiderate of feelings but don’t lie to spare them. In other words, just keep your mouth shut.

John Cleese has it about right:

“The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France ‘s white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country’s military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

Texas Scramble today with a pretty decent team. We came in with gross one under par, net was 60.9 (some complicated thingy with quarter of combined h/c or summat – don’t ask me – I wasn’t doing the card) and we were pretty sure we’d be in the top 3 and thus in the money. Not a bit of it, 2 damn teams came in with 60.4 and one with 59.9. Assume they had higher handicaps, yeah, alright, maybe they just played better too.

On the positive side, Sue and I picked up our prizes from the Captain’s Day played on Sunday. I had a lovely gilet, box of 12 decent balls, a glove, a really nice umbrella and a visor which I donated to the raffle (which always follows the Friday frolics). Sue had the same minus the gilet. Ditto donated the visor. Some of the ladies moan about these prizes, saying either they don’t like the things they’re given, or that they already have the golfie things so don’t want them as prizes. They would prefer gift vouchers. Sue & I however were as chuffed as hell. We insisted on being presented with said prizes, but our attempts at thank you speeches were drowned by catcalls.

On the negative side (not really) I got ragged like mad about the lady who barged in with us at Cams. Everybody knew about it (thanks, Sue) and they kept asking me if I took dictation, or claiming they didn’t recognise me. Beeeetches! My kind of beeeeeetches though.

Just saw this under an article about the world’s oldest man. Not great, but cute:

Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent’s house to visit her 95 year-old grandmother and comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, “He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning.”
Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.
“Oh no, my dear,” replied granny. “Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong.”
She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued,

Back from the Arden.

The weather today was much better, just a 15mph wind most of the time. Cloudy and 16 c Yesterday, when we got there, we had heavy showers for our short course round. Played tough.

We played the Arden off the yellows, 6,451, reds, 5,654. No rain. The course was in great shape. From ’93 to ’05 it was a European tour event. Winners include Monty, Bjorn, Lane, Darren Clarke. I have played about 20 championship courses, including this one before. So I’m used to it. But it was a first for Wendy and Scrums and I’m proud of them . Because it was my idea to go there, I was stressed, hoping they would enjoy it all. They deserve credit for putting up with my yakking !

The greens were amazing. I only played on greens this fast once before. I talked to one of the staff after we finished and I told him how good they were. When I asked him what they were on the stimpmetre, he replied 11, maybe 12. For us, that is FAST.

The Ridem cup 2nd leg is upon us this weekend. This is where Scrums, Wendy and I attempt to beat EMC, Radar and Billy. The fortcast is light showers on Sunday, which is our warm up round on the short course.

Monday, is the big one and it hopefully will be dry. 20 mph winds, as you expect in Britain. I’ll do my best to skipper our side and if I have 10% of Olazabal’s skills ( very debateable) I’ll hope that is enough. Scrums and Wendy are looking forward to it very much, it is to date the biggest venue they have played ( I know they will do well and enjoy this former European tour venue) so give them a hand for trusting me to set it up for them. Yeah, I know, they must be nuts 🙂

Well I read some of all the jousting of opinions. I liked what everyone had to say. The thing I love about sport is how passionate people are about it. Who was the best? Who is the best? We all have different opinions on that, and I think that all of our perspectives are skewed by bias. One may say the most important thing is how many championships someone has won. One will say it’s points scored. Or major wins vs tour wins or world wide wins vs them all. The greatest golfer of all time may not have won very many events because his career was cut short. or another because he never went pro. We can say that with the equipment of today, so and so woulda done this or that yet would his wayward shots gone out of bounds instead of just in the rough? There is no definitive way to accurately say who was the best at any one sport overall since sports have been played over a long period of time with different equipment and levels of competition. You have all mentioned many great athletes who we have all admired over the years. I think they are all pretty close, and I have my favorites. I think Jack was the best golfer ever, that Wilt Chamberlain was the best basketball player ever and if he were on those Celtic teams would have as many or more championships that Bill Russell.
Just my two cents worth.

Centenary Foursomes today which my partner and I won (despite constant miserable rain) so we’re through to represent our club for the county final at a very fine course in July. Tomorrow is my first round in the Ladies Summer Knockout, Texas Scramble on Friday, caddying on Sunday, and off for a Mixed Pairs in a neighbouring county on Monday. I’m fatigued just thinking about it.

Good stuff for sure. I hope the ERIGO posting will be as interesting and well written. We all have Lee to thank for bringing us together and the friendships that have grown from this.

Thanks Met! Slingers do rock but you granite!

EMC2 I Know all about Inbee Park. She played for Walla Walla Community College Softball Team. Went on to pitch for the Arizona Diamondbacks on the same team with Randy Johnson that won the world series. After seeing Randy Johson blow up that fbird with a fast ball she opened a gun and ammo store on the DMZ…. after determining it was too dangerous to do so in the USA.
I know a lot of things. Food, wine, cars, sports, politics, opiates, music….I would say I know just about as much regarding those things as I do the background of the LPGA players…..?

EMC2 The scoring is completely arbitrary and totally dependent on my mood at the the time. You suck, so why would I even expect that you would be in the lead???
Fixed and you’re welcome -)

metro18 Easingwold Hey, I gotta tell you about what could have been the greatest shot I’ve hit in 45 years of playing. On Monday I went to a local course here and was playing great. I was even par after 11 holes when I came to the 500 yd par 5 12th. We had about a 8-10 mph tail wind and my drive rolled out out 310yds giving me 190 left to the green. It’s a tiny green with deep bunkers guarding the front and bushes and trash long. I needed a very high draw into the green. I hit a 7 iron with the idea that short was better than long and that the wind might just carry me there. When I hit the shot I thought it might be good. It was very high and carried just over the bunker and rolled past the cup about three feet. I made the putt for eagle and finished the day -1. What made it such a great shot was that it was exactly how I envisioned it. This is such a great game!!

John O’Reilly hoisted his beer and said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me Life, between the legs of me wife !” That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night ! He went home and told his wife, Mary, “I won the prize for the Best toast of The night.” She said, “Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?” John said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife.” “Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!” Mary said. The next day, Mary ran into one of John’s drinking buddies on the street Corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, “John won the prize the other night at The pub with a toast about you, Mary.” She said, “Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he’s only been in there twice in the last four years. “Once I had to pull him by the ears to make him come, and the other time he fell asleep”.

I can’t shoot you from Washington State. This paramilitary sniper rifle with armor piercing 50 caliber ammo is only accurate for about 3 miles.

Think I’ll take the damn thing back to Toys-R-Us and see what I can get online instead.
