-Saturday Morning Scramble will start at 10 tomorrow with the low overnight temps.
-Medora. Most of you know about Medora. Go here and watch a five minute vid about a documentary being made (produced) about the Medora basketball team and their quest to win just one basketball game. Son Marty forwarded it to me last night. It's cool and you get the opportunity to be a backer of the project if you want.
-Another video, this one from Bangkok Bobby and has some cute LPGA players bouncing golf balls off of their clubs. Very nifty and makes you want to be able to do the same. My golfing skills lie elsewhere at the moment but I'm up for learning how to do that. Think it has something to do with eye and hand coordination, timing, rhythm.
-Tiger bogeys #17 and #18 on opening day and ends up shooting par for the day. From the stats and reports, looks like he was pretty darn good at recovering from not so good lies. Hard to believe that he has been under par at the end of day one on only one of his 18 trips to the Masters. McIlroy, on the other hand, birdied the same two holes and walks off at one under. Leader: Lee Westwood at five under par. More good stuff today from Augusta. Note to guys playing down there: Watch out for quadruple bogeys at the last; does nothing good for any part of your game. Just ask Henrik Stenson (he was 'leaking oil' coming down the stretch with bogeys at 14 and 16 to go along with a birdie at 15 and a par at 17; plus four at the last couldn't have been any fun).
-Several of the Thursday Match Play League teams showed up for a 10am game but decided against going out in the suddenly and drastically much cooler weather - mid 40's (with wind). That might be ok for most early Aprils but this year we've had summer already for several weeks. Going from playing in 80+ degree weather the day before to something forty degrees less - hmm, gives one reason to pause and think a bit. Five of the group did go out for fun; the rest of us, including me, put our golf off for a bit.
Photo: Stan Graber and Marvin Graber finishing up a par at #8. The two, playing their preseason scramble for the Tuesday Men's League, finished up with a 37. Marvin, returning from his glory days with brother Norman (they won the team championship back in 2000), will be pairing up with cousin Stan this season.
