Impressive

This is impressive and was brought to my attention yesterday afternoon when I saw Kevin and Curt Johnson out on the golf course. As many of you know, Kevin Johnson is down in Orlando in school to become a PGA professional. A couple of weeks ago he was back home for a visit and out playing a lot of golf with his Dad, Curt. In chatting with them I discovered that Kevin was working with Curt in improving his game. Expectations: three shot improvement in a short period of time. Results: Curt started the season with a 48, shot a 44 the second week, and then came in with a nifty 42 this past week, which includes a -1 on the par 3's. Nicely done? Very nicely done. Impressive? Very impressive.

As noted in a previous blog, we spent some time in Oakland in the mid 60's and happened to be there during the early years of the AFL. The Oakland Raiders became my team and it was a wild and wooly bunch back then even before Al Davis. Remember Daryl Lamonica? The mad bomber? One of those Irish quarterbacks who went on to play in the NFL, (others: Joe Montana, Joe Theisman, Paul Hornung). Another Irish quarterback on the blocks today, Brady Quinn, going up against LaMarcus Russell from LSU (yes, I know, another one of those Irish football post season embarrassments). And the Raiders have the first pick. Who do they choose? If Al Davis acts like Al Davis, I would say it will be the big guy with the big arm from down south rather than the littler guy from the north. That is if he goes with a quarterback. Expect he will.

Heading to the golf course; got a scramble to get started. Looks like it's going to be a beauty of a day so go golf and get a little fun out of day that stretches out before you.
