Bits and Pieces

-Na Yeon Choi wears a dress for the third time ever and looks smashing!  Photo here (the girl in the maroon form fitting dress about a fifth of the way down the page) at Seoul Sisters.  Here's how she usually appears.  NYC, as she is nicknamed, was playing in the Swinging Skirts tournament, an invitational charity event played in Taiwan this past week.  Winner:  Taiwan native and current lady golfing phenom, Yani Tseng.

-Read the Loogootee Trib's write up on the boys basketball this past weekend (Dec. 2nd and 3rd).  Terrific win for the Lions in the holiday tournament and even more terrific display of basketball skills by Bryant Ackerman, the grandson of avid Lakeview golfer Skip Ackerman.  Bryant also plays golf at Lakeview but not near as much as Skip.

-Golf at Lakeview yesterday with temperatures in the 50's.  Really very nice for  a December day.  The Boys (Butcher, Lents, Hudson and Lemmon) were already playing when I got there some time after one.  Heard that Jack B. got the big prize when he picked up five flags at hole #16 (#7 the second time around).  His tee shot managed to be the first one that stayed on a par three green, and that by a mere inch.  Good neighbor Jack L.  bemoaned that fact as his shot on the concluding hole won him the last flag.

-Golf today?  Looks like we're in the middle of a great big green area that's going to be with us for a while.  Better chance tomorrow; higher temperatures as well.

-More on the trip:  One of the best things of the whole trip for me was the people watching.  People from all over the world speaking a multitude of languages and coming in every shape and size and age (lots of youngsters, apparently playing hookie with their parents consent).  And that made for lots of photo opportunities.
