Saturday Scramble and Skins

Lets head on over to the golf course and see what we can make happen with a crooked stick and a small hard ball. Manager's Scramble starts at 8am - call in and sign up now or just be there by 7:45. Skin match follows. Shouldn't be any problem with distance this morning what with the ground dry and hard. So expect chipping and putting to be decisive; but then it usually is. And yes we still want that #5 today, that fifth consecutive Saturday with an ace here at Lakeview.

Wonder what the big guys are doing at the US Open about now? Shaking the sleep out of their eyes, drinking coffee, checking the news and their favorite blogs on the internet, getting ready to head to the practice range to hit a few dozen balls. I expect they are acting pretty much like you and me except the venue they are heading to is a little more slick and has all those people standing around. And of course all that tall stuff in the roughs that normal golfers would avoid like the plague and here these guys are getting mixed up in it all the time, making a mess of their score cards, subjecting themselves and others to serious injury. And for the most part not having any fun. Oh well. To each his own.

Okay. See you out north of town in a little bit.

Other news: Jeff Brookshire and Tracy Rayhill, golfing buddies, were out there playing 18. Each of them shot a 37 on one of their nines, a personal best for Tracy. Could have used these guys in the scramble, especially my team.
