Tuesday Men Come On Down Please

Tuesday Men take center stage today. And with just three weeks left in the season, do I see a little light at the top of the standings? Do George Templin and Don Nolan have any advantage at all with a 34 point lead? And how about John Drake on top of the individual standings with a 37 point lead? I imagine the odds are in their favor but this has been such a volatile year with several teams and individuals having shared the top spot, I would not be surprised at all to see a few more changes before the bell rings three weeks from tonight.

Terry Butcher and Phil Eyler start the day with big zero handicaps, Short Jeffers just one off. And where have all those young guns gone? I'm reminded of the college basketball players going from the 30 something season to the NBA where they play what must seem like every night. And no break for classroom stuff and strolling around the campus. What a shock to their system the Bigs must be! Am sure that we have not heard the last of Mitch and Weston and Trenton by a long shot.

And speaking of long shots... Load up your big driving stick and take a shot at the longest shot in the long shot competition that starts today. This will be a running competition through the rest of the season. Contestants wind up and hit the ball as far as they can off of #6 tee box. If it's the longest of all come Tuesday evening, September 4th, then you will be declared our long ball champ of 2007. Of course, you won't want to forget that your ball has to be somewhere out there in #6 fairway, not in the lake or over in #4 or on the median or the dam.

A little rain right now, but nothing like the record rain falls they had in Indy, Fort Wayne and South Bend yesterday afternoon. Ok, best get ready and head over to the golf course, see what's going on...
