Bits and Pieces

-Tuesday Afternoon Scramble at 5:30 this afternoon.  The Tuesday Men's League players can also get their preseason scramble in the books today as well (or anytime this week through Saturday).  Remember, the entry fee for the league scramble is already paid for with your league entry fee this year.

-The Big Dance is over.  Kentucky rules the roost with a 67-59 win over Kansas in a game that saw the Jayhawks make a run at the last that had KY fans on the edge of their seats, not to mention the Kansas fans.  For all the running up and down the floor those two teams did, that's a surprisingly low score to my way of thinking.  Btw, Diane stayed up for the whole game and now reigns as the 'Bird Brain' Bracket Group champ.  She remains as humble as ever and, yes, she did watch the game in her usual fashion - with her lap full of a knitting project.  Photo: Diane knitting during the semifinal game last Saturday:



-Tonight the ND women go for the gold ring for the second year in a row (espn3 at 8:30).  The Irish are the underdogs - the espn poll has 82% of voters going with Baylor.   I'm going with the Irish.  :)

-I know of four guys already on their way to Augusta - DW, MA, KS and MS by initial.  Golf on the way down, golf on the way back and take in all the excitement of the Masters on Wednesday. 

-Video of I.K. Kim missing that one foot putt.  Got to feel for the kid. 

-Heading out to the golf course to do some cart/battery stuff.  Another lovely day for just about anything, including golf.

Photo:  Tony Trambaugh, Tracy Rayhill and Curt Johnson finishing their round yesterday.  Before they started, each of the three helped out up at the clubhouse by moving one cart battery about 15 feet, part of the process where 144 of them will be moved out of the carts and new ones into them.  They did awfully well.  Curt, before leaving the work area and teeing off, thought maybe this had the feel of a Tom Sawyer episode.  (Well, yes...)  Appreciated the help, guys.  Anybody else out there want to experience lugging around a pretty hefty piece of go power?
