Bits and Pieces

-Tomorrow's pairings of note in the Bigs (local times):
    -KIA Classic: 12:10 pm: Ai Miyazato, Michelle Wie, Maria Hjorth
    -Bay Hill: 12:56 pm: Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Gary Woodland

-In the ladies big dance, #6 Oklahoma beat #3 Miami last night and take on #2 Notre Dame this weekend (Saturday at 2pm).  All four #1's (UConn, Stanford, Baylor and Tennessee) made it through the first two rounds.  Go, Irish.

-The men's big dance:  Go, Butler.  They play Wisconsin on Thursday at 10pm.

-Lots of golfers at Lakeview yesterday including a trio of guys working on the new highway.  Not our first visitors from the I69 project.

-And, in case you haven't heard, temperatures go into a tailspin after today for several days.  Best get in at least nine today if you like 60's and 70's type temperatures.  Back into the 40's starting tomorrow.  Yuk.

-Golfing suggestion:  Best be working on your short game these days.  That would be from 125 yards and on in.  Flush those approach shots; tighten up the distance control on those chips, and nail down your pace on those putts.  (Because of this dastardly chest cold, I have been forced to restrict my playing to the short game - an energy thing.)

-Be thinking league.  Start of Tuesday Men and Thursday Match coming up directly.
