Tuesday Men - Come on Down!

The weather is lovely and everything has been scrubbed clean by yesterday's rains. Do you remember that ten years ago the Men's League had a Wednesday edition as well? It was a smaller version of Tuesday (which was smaller, too) and had some of the same players that we see today. But others as well. For instance, Jim Mundy and Elmer Graber who played with Tim Voegerl and Bob Panko. Clyde Wake came out with Bob Norris back then; the two are now our oldest golfers (in the Community League) with both in the mid eighties. Steve Padgett and Jerry Tredway also came out and hit the ball around a bit. Jerry and I had 34's this day ten years ago, and Eric Bird, the guy who keeps the green stuff green out here, shot a 36.

Back here in the present, think it's about time we had another league hole-in-one. Got the par threes ready and willing, and a couple of par fours as well. The fours are #2, which had a couple of almost back to back aces a few years back (Dave Wininger and Bob Walton); and #5 which several of our players can now reach with their monster drives. (Which reminds me: Michelle Wie averaged 290 yards at the Corning last week. Didn't want you long guys to get too puffed up in the heads. Some of those other young ladies on the LPGA, half the size we are, average 260 and then some. My oh my. But, remember, most of the shots on the score card are on and around the green.) League's Individual leader, Tony Wease, has been sitting on top for three weeks now but lots of guys in position to send him packing if he lets up at all, something he did a bit last week. Come on down, guys, and take a shot or two or forty and see where your skill and luck and get you.
