Bits and Pieces

-Saturday Scramble at noon.  Temps are supposed to be around 50 at that time.  Sunny though.

-Three way tie at the 54 hole Mizuno Classic in Mie, Japan.  Teresa Lu, Akana Iijima and Ah-Reum Hwang tied at six under par.  More from Mostly Harmless.

-Fredrick Jacobson leads the HSBC after 36 holes, up one stroke on Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen.  POY candidate Keegan Bradly two back at -9.

-Wonder what the odds are that Tiger Woods will win the Australian Open?  He says he's fit and ready.  You remember that TW's last win was the Australian Masters in 2009.  More on Tiger and the Australian Open from the Sydney Morning Herald here

-Speaking of Tiger:  Got a little bet with Lakeview golfer Tony Trambaugh that Tiger will contribute at the Presidents Cup.  Tony claims he will not score a single point. 

-Yesterday's rain (about an inch) was perfect for Eric's seeding of the fairways and approaches.  Should see all sorts of grass popping up in a week or two.  His renovation of the tees a month back also turned out to be pretty good timing on his part.  Haven't ever seen the tee boxes looking so grand at the end of a season.  Cudos to the 'greens' manager.

-Golf later this afternoon in the sun and the cool of an early November day.

p.s.  North Daviess Cougars play the undefeated Linton team tonight for the sectional championship.  Think the Cougars need a pregame visit from Knute Rockne and the Gipper to get them charged up.  Of course, maybe getting whomped up one side of the head and then the other earlier in their regular season game will be enough motivation.  Go Cougars - pull off the upset of the season.  Make that the decade.
