-Not so good weather today for golf: wet and cool. If it lets up at all, expect a few golfers will scramble with a start time of 4:30 (or thereabouts).
-Again finished the day by golfing with Curt Johnson and Tracy Rayhill along with Tony Trambaugh. Tracy sprained his wrist Sunday night with one of his swings and was obviously hurting at times as he swung his club. He adapted and continued to play and surprised himself and the rest of us by getting the closest to the pin shot on #3 and tying Curt for the same thing on #9. The par threes are usually where Tracy takes a back seat and lets his competitors equalize things. Might want to rethink your plan of attack on the par threes, Tracy, once your wrist is feeling better.
-Forgot to mention that Na Yeon Choi's win down in Malaysia this past weekend was the 100th by a woman of South Korean descent, 96th by a South Korean woman. Pretty impressive. Se Ri Pak started it all with her storming of the LPGA in 1998 - winning two majors in her rookie season and has a total of 25 to date (actually Ku Ok-hee in 1988 and Ko Woo-soon in 1994 and 1995 had the first LPGA victories). Girls in Korea took note and then took up golf and the rest is history. Pretty amazing story. Wonder if Ireland with its recent success in the majors on the men's side is having a similar golfing revival among young Irish lads? Expect not.
-Think I'll head over to the golf course for a bit. Diane is heading up to Odon to do some baking at the new location of the Donut Barn - it's right on the highway next to the Odon Locker. Which reminds me: Have you had your weekly donut yet? I haven't as Colleen had the shop closed last week with the move into the new digs. Maybe Diane will bring one or two home with her in a few hours.
