-Yucky weather has arrived - cold and rainy with more cold on the way. Guess we get to take a break from all the winter golf we've been getting in. Thank the golf gods and goddesses.
-Lovely out there yesterday. Played 18 holes with the Boys (Ken Hudson couldn't make it so I got an invite). They play skins and flags as well as a team game with two points available on each hole, one for low total and one for low score; partners switch every six holes. The team games had scores of 6-2, 12-0, and 7-2 with good neighbor Jack Lents and I pitching the shutout over Dick Lemmon and Jack Butcher. Dick and I each had two flags with the two Jacks splitting the other two; Jack B. and I had birds, Jack's being a honey of a putt from just off the green at the 15th hole, some 20 feet uphill and winding to the right.
-Also out taking advantage of the mild weather: The two Toms, McAtee and Walker, Denny Wagoner, Chuck Baker, and a guy who was getting ready for an Orlando trip and golf with a couple of Lakeview regulars. Curt Johnson was out late to wrap things up.
-The Lion girls beat Pike Central last night, 43-33, and take on 1A State Champs Vincennes Rivet tomorrow night. I plan to be there to see if the Rivet girls are as dominant as they have been the last several years - their record is 13 and 2, the losses coming to 2A teams South Knox and Evansville Mater Dei. Think Barr-Reeve at 13 and 0 is very much looking forward to their game with the Patriots on the 17th. Too bad it's over in Vincennes.
-Did ask Jack Butcher and Dick Lemmon (35 years as teacher and coach over in Montgomery) if they had any kind of governor's bet on the Saturday game between the Lion boys and the Viking boys. Not yet.
-#2 Lady Irish beat #17 Georgetown last night, 80-60. No letdown after the UCON victory last Saturday for the Irish.
-Hoosier basketball team - climbing in the polls - still for real. Amazing and nice.
-Time to throw another log on the fire and go have breakfast with Diane.
