-Scramble at 9am tomorrow morning.
-The Ladies are playing their first major of the year, the Kraft Nabisco Championship out in Ranch Mirage, California. Amy Yang, #14 in the rankings, has a one stroke advantage over Lindsey Wright after firing a six under par on Thursday. #1 Yani Tseng is two back at -4. Michelle Wie posted a decent score of +1 which included one birdie and two bogeys on a relatively clean round for the new college graduate. She's currently tied for 47th. Scores here.
-Rain cut short the play down in Houston where some of the Big Boys are prepping for the Masters. Ernie Els is playing and needs to win to tee it up in Augusta (or get a special invite - wonder if they are all gone by now?).
-That reminds me: Terry Butcher was down at Bay Hill last Wednesday (a week ago) and got a photo of Tiger Woods. Hoping he will send it to me to share with you all.
-Eric and the boys finished up with the aerating yesterday. Greens played fast with all the sand though didn't seem to hinder scoring - note Tuesday's low scramble scores. Went out with good neighbor Jack Lents yesterday afternoon and found three birdies in a round of 35. Course is in lovely condition with the grass growing like crazy. Seems like we're already in mid-season with all the good weather we've had during the month of March. The usual 'in like a lion' stuff of most Marches took this year off. Do need to get some of that April rain though; just the right amount, please, and mostly after closing time if you don't mind.
-Rooting for Kansas and Kentucky in the big dance tomorrow what with Diane having them in her bracket. See that KY is the 'prohibitive' favorite to win it all. That would be fine with me - maybe Diane will take me out to dinner with her winnings. Wouldn't mind seeing Louisville win it all - they are our near neighbors after all.
-Sunday night is reserved for the women's March Madness: UConn vs ND in the early game (around 6pm) with Stanford playing Baylor in the late game (8:30'ish). All four teams are playing well. Like the more experienced ND team (they played super against Maryland last Tuesday night) over UConn and Baylor over Stanford.
-Get the first batch of new batteries for the carts today. Lakeview golfer Nick Toy will be bringing them out sometime this morning - might be on the way as I speak. If you want to test out your back and shoulder muscles, come on out and move a few old batteries around. Heavy little guys.
-Heading on out there. Looks like another fine day for golf.
