-Dave Wininger and Curt Johnson shot a two under 33 to tie Paul Hart and Jon Boyd in the Tuesday Afternoon Scramble. Wininger and Johnson won the contest on the tiebreaker, a card draw. Two other teams participated: George Templin and I couldn't make a putt (unlike last week when we, meaning George, couldn't miss a putt) and posted a 37; Short Jeffers and Joe Allen also played and finished at something over 33.
-The Lady Lions volleyball team triumphed over the Tecumseh Braves last night in regional action at JBA. Scores: 25-16, 25-19, 25-11. The Lions (30-5) next meet Hauser (28-8) at 11 am on Saturday at JBA. Trinity Luthern (30-5) plays Clay City (19-10) in the second game. Winners play Saturday evening at 7 for the chance to go to the state finals. Go Lions.
-More golf: How do you like the PGA changing the rules for the POY? At the last minute, they decided to add another tournament (the HSBC) and Luke Donald, the guy who outdid Webb Simpson at the Disney last week in a fabulous shootout between the top two contenders for both the money title and the POY, is just a little ticked. Me thinks he has every right to be. PGA - you get the bonehead award of the year for your actions. Hope the Tour members let their administrators know how wrong that decision was.
-Spend time on your short game or your long game? Ruthless Golf helps you decide how to determine where you should put your practice time. In brief: If you are within 30 yards of the green in regulation (after two shots on a par four, three shots on a par 5), choose the short game practice routine; if not, go for more time on your long game.
-Baseball: Didn't realize the Rangers were going for their first World Series title. Cardinals have plenty in comparison. What say we root for the Texas team - I mean, they are just one win away. You Cardinal fans wouldn't be all that offended, would you? Ok, maybe not root for the Rangers but just not be all that disappointed if they happened to beat the Cardinals in game six or game seven. Of course, would be happy for the Cardinals to win as well, to come from behind. (My heart is with the Cubbies so...).
-Rain in the area but nothing serious. Temps up in the 60's. Good October golf weather.
