Pretty busy day of golf out at Lakeview, especially after four when some of the workers of the world were able to get out and get in nine before nightfall.
-The Boys, Jack and Jack and Rex and Ken (Butcher, Lents, Hudson and Hudson) were out before noon playing eighteen. I went out with them and we all had a good time trying to figure out how to hit the ball. February golf, you know: lots of ugly mixed in with a dash of pizazz - those occasional sweet shots and well struck putts.
-Ray Shaw dropped in to say hello and see how we all were doing. And to ask about the start of Senior League (April 9th).
-Tony Trambaugh, Tracy Rayhill and Jeff Brookshire got out to walk and strike the ball for a bit. Learned that Jeff and the Mrs. are celebrating the birth of their third daughter, Lillian Grace.
-Several players on the North Daviess golf team came our for nine with their coach, Brian Brinegar. Dad Bill was also playing.
-Chuck Baker joined Short Jeffers, Doug Denson and myself for a pick up game of 3-3-3: Scramble, Alternate Shot, Best Ball. The Scramble and Best Ball were tied with the Alternate Shot going to the Jeffers/Bird team. Always fun to compete. (And to win...)
-The course: not all that wet and soggy. Some areas needed to be avoided but so far the course is handling the water very well.
-Tomorrow: expected to be warmer than today but also with rain for most of the afternoon.
-On the professional tour: Tiger is back and won his first match, 3 and 2, over Brendan Jones. Lots of upsets today including two number one seeds: Sergio Garcia and Padraiq Harrington.
