Back to the Business of Golfing

Hope you all enjoyed the nice little cold weather interlude that gave us more time than we needed to catch all the action at the Masters. I did but I also think that it was a little bit much, all that cold, all those blasts of freezing air from the north, the sullen gray overcast. Way too much. But this is a new day and we're back to thinking of growing grass and opening day for league play. Looks like we are going to get started after all with the rains going elsewhere tomorrow and Thursday. A little on the cool side but very playable at 55-60*.

Word from Mark Jeffers last Saturday: Knights of Columbus has scheduled a scramble for next Sunday, April 15th, here at Lakeview. 9am start time. As usual, sign up is at the K of C.

Word from Walt Bowen, a Senior League player in years past: he is returning, this time with a newbie, Dave Trinkle. Great! That makes 17 teams for Thursday morning; think there is one more that just hasn't signed up as well as a single waiting for a partner. Can we get to 20 teams?

Expect the Tuesday League to come in around 30 teams; had 31 last year and already some fresh teams have signed up to play. With the longer daylight this year (maybe even more next year), there will be lots of time in the evening to get one's round in. As in years past, #1 tee box will be reserved for Tuesday League players from 4-5:30 on Tuesday afternoons. Will expand that if necessary.

Sun is shining; it's 40*. Time to head down the road a piece and see what's going on at the golf course. I think maybe Eric mowing the greens; sandpipers dancing on the south wall of the dam; a lone eagle fishing off of #4 green, or maybe down off of #7 green. Maybe even a few early golfers.

Hope your Easter day was super.
