Thursday Shot of the Day



Pictures: Allen Swayze in #1 fairway advancing his ball; Jim Leonard left of #3 green chipping and hoping; Morris Cornelius and Leroy Streepy willing a ball onto #9 green.

A tiny blue bird of happiness was just helping himself at the feeder out the west window while a goldfinch wishes me a good morning out the north window. Diane is full of zip and already out the door and on her way to the golf course. Grand omens, gonna be some sort of day, me thinks. More later on the good things that are about to take place with all those senior golfers who are now having a last cup of coffee and thinking maybe it's time to get on the road, go see some friends, hit a little ball around a lovely green space. See you at the course.

Update:

Well, it has been a very nice day.
-Morris Cornelius had a great day: low net score of 28, hole prize on #7, and instrumental in getting low team net for himself and Leroy Streepy (62). And for the only time that I can remember, he and Leroy shut out their opponents, 14-0. My oh my.
-Jr Byron got himself two hole prizes, on #8 and #9, and shot a very nice 38.
-Dale DeLong got the other prize with a close shot on #3.
-Mike Bird got low gross with a 36 and had a putt from off the green find the hole at #3 for a closing birdie. And is back on top of the individual standings.
-Charlie Sheetz had a good closing hole at #3 as well: tee shot just off the green front and right, a chip to 20 inches and then a putt that curled around the left side, looked in, and then dropped.
-Allen Swayze took the long road on the shortest hole, #7, by fluffing his tee shot which landed in the grass trap; he then fluffed his 2nd shot right and short of the green; but then calmly chipped his 3rd shot in for a routine par. Routine for Allen.
-Walt Bowens and Dale DeLong had good days and joined Mike Bird at net 31, good for 2nd place in that category.
-Bob Elliott is back in town and shot a respectable net 38.
-Kenny Hudson and Carroll Rayhill remain on top of the team standings, just edging Richard Barber and John Chapman.
-Mike Anderson shot a 38 which is more like him. Took him awhile to adjust to Indiana weather after a winter in Florida, I guess.
