-Enjoyed reading about the Blue Chip baseball records in the Loogootee Tribune this week. Record for home runs (13) is held by Scott Wallace (Vic's son) who set it in 1988. And the ERA record set by Dave Wininger back in 1983, one which is not going to be broken by anybody real soon: 0.00. Neat stuff. Go Boy Lions - this Saturday at 1pm down in Jasper.

Line, Pace, Point
- Find the line, then get the pace right as you hit it through that point two to four inches in front of the ball.

Use a Quarter
Place a quarter on the back of your putter and try to swing without the coin sliding off. This took about 6 strokes off my game instantly.

- -Of note: The Birdman went 36-33 for a total of 69 yesterday. Second time he has shot his age with the first time being six years ago when he took 65 strokes to finish 18 holes, one stroke for each of his years. Having the opportunity to play skins and flags after league this season has really helped by the simple fact of playing 18 holes on a regular basis. Did warm up Wednesday night, playing nine holes with Tracy Rayhill and Tony Trambaugh. Shot a 37 with a triple bogey at the last hole. Funny how you sometimes just completely forget what you're doing out there. Seems like anyway. Didn't forget Thursday morning.
- -I thought about heading over to Springfield and catching some of the LPGA action at the State Farm Classic. Decided I didn't need all those hours on the road just before the Summerfest Scramble (btw, Stan Graber, give me a call, please!). Michelle Wie had a pretty uneventful round yesterday - one birdie, one bogey. She has a little work to do as the leader, Mindy Kim, is eight under.
- -See if you can stay cool today. Lots of water, some shade, maybe a movie with the wife while the sun is at its highest. Can't say it's cooling down a whole bunch at night. That doesn't help at all. And, no, it's not too hot to play golf. Just a little warm.
