Bits and Pieces

-Trooper Rocco Mediate battled the weather, rainy and cold, on Sunday, shot 5 over through the first 13 holes, but dropped in an eagle at 17 and hit a five footer for par on 18 to win the Frys.com Open by a shot over Bo Van Pelt and Alex Pugh.  Must have been pretty cool for the guy who battled TW at the US Open a few years back to finally return to the winners' circle - first time since 2002.  Looks like he also saved himself a trip to Q School. 

-And while a 48 year old was winning on the men's side, Beatriz Recari, a young Spanish lady in her early 20's, was winning the CVS/pharmacy LPGA Challenge out in California.  She managed to bogey her 17th hole and then par the 18th to win over Gwladys Nocera and Karine Icher by a stoke.  Check out this interview of the winner which includes her ride at 200mph with Mario Andretti.

-Irish have an easy time with Western Michigan on Saturday.  And the Colts have an adventure with the Redskins last night.  North Daviess did lose down at Springs Valley Friday night - by a point.  Sectionals next week for them.

-Lion volleyball team also heads into the sectionals this week.  They start Thursday up at North Daviess - the Lions have one of the byes and won't play their first game till Saturday around 12:30.  They beat up on the South Knox Spartans last Friday night, winning in three games.

-Something to try: Been pulling my approach shots way more than I want to and tried opening my stance and the club face a bit to see if that would correct it.  Come across the ball with my swing and did hit it pretty consistently in the right direction.  Will try it some more again later today to see if that lessens the pull to the left.

-Left the golf course in good hands after my walk out there this morning.  Rex Hudson, Dick Lemmon, Jack Lents and Jack Butcher were just about ready to start their 18 hole game.  They play a team game where each player partners up with another for six holes and then switches to one of the other players.  That way they get to play with each of the other players.  The scoring is low ball, low total, with a point being awarded for each on each hole.  Get the most points over the six holes and your team wins the game.  They also play against each other for skins and flags.  Gets very competitive.

-Coming up this week: Tuesday Afternoon Scramble at 5pm.  Thursday Morning Scramble at 10am.  Saturday Morning Scramble to be decided depending on the weather/temperature.
