Monday's Offerings

Boo Weekley uses chipping magic to win at Hilton Head. You remember a month ago when he missed a three foot putt to fall into a playoff, right? Soloution to putting woes, as everybody knows, is to avoid taking out the short stick by putting the ball in the hole before you even get to the green. Boo did that today on the final two hole to keep Ernie Els off the winner's rolls and earn his own first PGA victory.

Tuesday Men's League: Tim Miller is joining Bryant Trambaugh and the Summers boys, Kirk and Kent, have signed on. Byron Christie is still looking for a partner to play with during the day.

Thursday Senior League: Looks like weather will not be a factor this week so it's a go starting at 9am on Thursday. Bring your A games. Still have room for another team and need a partner for Sharon Brassine.

Community League: Reminder: starts the week of May 14th. Get a partner and sign on to this new league. Would love at least five teams in each of the different categories: Woman/Woman, Man/Man, Woman/Man, Parent-Grandparent/Child-Grandchild, Junior/Junior.

On a decidedly heavier note:

Conservatives are writing letters to the President with a very blunt message: Fire Gonzales. In part, the letter says:

"..."Mr. Gonzales has presided over an unprecedented crippling of the Constitution's time-honored checks and balances," it declares. "He has brought rule of law into disrepute, and debased honesty as the coin of the realm." Alluding to ongoing scandal, it notes: "He has engendered the suspicion that partisan politics trumps evenhanded law enforcement in the Department of Justice."..."

Hmmm. Does anybody believe that our Attorney General has been acting on his own in any capacity whatsoever since he joined on with George W. Bush sometime back in the '90's? Lucky for us, our system does work, as participants in the Watergate mess back in the '70s kept repeating. And, as John Dean and Shakespeare say: the truth will out. Hang on to your seats and your hats, folks; it's gonna be a bumpy and windy ride these next several months. (Dwelling on this stuff is deadly and depressing; be sure and mix with a large dose of good golf.)
