Bits and Pieces: Top 20 Lakeview Golfers in the 2000's

-Top twenty lady golfers of the new century from The Bleacher Report.  Take a gander at Michelle Wie's swing here.  Note the low and slow takeaway and then the ferocious forward part of her swing that has made her the longest driver on the LPGA this year.

-Top of the list: Annika Sorenstam, Lorena Ochoa, Karrie Webb, Se Ri Pak.

-Here's a question for you:  Who would be on your list of the top twenty golfers at Lakeview in the 2000's?  Let me see, from off the top of my head (in no particular order): Wininger, Denson, Jeffers, Kidwell, Kidwell, Butcher, Bird, Eyler, Potts, Hager.  That's a quick ten.  Others:  Muessig, Gilbertson, Byron, Wagler.  Well, that's a start.  Any others come to mind?

-So, what's with the recent spate of top European golfers announcing that they will not play on the PGA next year?

-Pacers have fun up in Indy last night, especially in the third quarter (54 point quarter) in their game against the Nuggets.  Yes, they won.  Stand 3 and 3 in the young NBA season.  (Do we care?  Well, some do...)

-Tomorrow's scramble will start at 12 noon.  Lot nicer weather this week than last week.

-Yesterday's scramble started at 3:30 kinda - first team off at 3:35, second at 3:40 something, Trenton and I a little later.  Could have started it at 3:45 as it turned out.  Each of the three teams played separately and circled the course and were done with plenty of daylight left.  If the weather cooperates - calling for sunny with a high of 54 at the moment, will try a 3:45 start next Tuesday.

-Time for breakfast.  Get outside and enjoy the super November weather.
