Bits and Pieces

-Scramble at 4 this afternoon.  Figure an hour and a half game.  That leaves plenty (!) of daylight to get you home for dinner.

-The Bir Girls play down in Florida this week after several weeks in Asia.  The CME Group Titleholders  down in Orlando starts on Thursday.  Expect Yani Tseng to be in top form after a third sub par performance down in Mexico.  The Men over in Australia start on Thursday as well but that's Wednesday here because of the dateline.

-Very interesting stuff:  Devil Ball Golf has a flashback to the 2009 President's Cup where Tiger Woods was dominant.  Short vid included here.  Hard to believe that was shortly before the accident that changed the face of golf.  But it's also why there are so many believers in Woods.  That kind of skill just doesn't disappear overnight.  At least a lot of Tiger fans don't believe it does, me included.

-Notre Dame Men's basketball team beat Detroit last night, 59-53.  Big whoop.  Early season basketball at the college level is mostly the big schools warming up against smaller schools, isn't it?  Among the other winners last night were Michigan over Towson and Syracuse over Manhattan.  More big whoops.  Guess it's a big deal for the smaller schools, especially when they just happen to upset one of them.  Like when a Cleveland State rolls over the then 7th ranked Vanderbilt team, 71-58.

-Played nine holes with Tony Wease and Mike Strawn in the wind yesterday afternoon.  Wasn't all that bad out there though we and four or five others were the only ones who dared to challenge the weather.  Much easier playing in wind when the temperatures are in the 70's. 

-Getting on with the day.  Breakfast with Diane.  Then maybe the golf course...
