Darn the rain. Had to stop after five or six holes when the rain and the thunder/lightning mix came at us from the south and west. Stood around in the clubhouse and talked about great shots and ways to finish the round. On ways to finish the round: best idea to come out was to finish play after our regular event next week - of course, you get together with today's opponents and then finish up. You do have the option of getting with them and coming out earlier. On hole prizes: congratulations to Charlie Sheetz, Carroll Rayhill, Mike Bird and Frank Fee for getting their names on the boards today. Unfortunately, it is all for naught because of the rascally rain. Next week's regular event will have eight different hole prizes; this week's hole prizes are caputski.
Special stuff of the day:
-Frank Fee got himself introduced to Senior League by going double bogey on his first hole (#8) but then parred the next four.
-Charlie Sheetz had a terrific shot on #3, stopping within five feet of the hole. Hope he made his birdie.
-Carroll Rayhill had to be convinced to write his name down on the board at #7 and then smoothly rolled in his 18 foot putt.
-Albert Kavanaugh had his drive on #2 nestle about two inches from the water and two feet from a level surface along the right side of the fairway; being the gutsy guy we know him to be, he refused to take a drop, pitched to fifteen feet below the hole and two putted for his par. Super pitch shot.
Several of us ended up over at Stolls for some of their good cooking.
More later as I think about it. Add your stories in the comment section.
