Bits and Pieces

-Wednesday morning scramble at 8.  That would be the 4th of July.  We'll see how busy the course is.  Know that there are some coming in at 7.  Probably be busy but the weather may keep the crowds down.  May find room for scramblers.  Lets try it.

-Looking for more rain tonight.  So far, nothing.  Thunder in the west though., and quite a bit of green on the radar.

-More hot for the Tuesday Men tomorrow.  Come early, come late, or start hydrating now and come your usual time.  Curt, Tony and I played at 4:45 this afternoon.  Wasn't all that bad - very doable.

-Tuesday Men - regular event tomorrow plus the start of the Match Play tournament.  Low net team scores against your opponent advances you to the second round.  Brackets here.

-Real estate available:  Michael Jordan's digs outside Chicago.  Asking price: $28 million.  I'll pass.

-Just curious:  Is the long putter already becoming passe? 

-Four things I think (with apologies to Jeff Skinner at LinksLifeGolf):

     -Yani Tsengs' five minutes of fame are not up.  She will return to glory, just don't know when.
     -Tiger Woods on the verge of having another great season.  Three wins in the bag already and we're only halfway through the year.  And he's playing more golf.  Seven wins this year?  Not unthinkable.  Throw in a major just for fun.  And the #1 ranking in the world by year's end.
     -Notre Dame football will again be big this fall, at least in our household.  Unfortunately, it won't be as big as most Domers would like.
     -Yes, we are thinking of football already again.   Grandson Lucas, who some of you see mornings during the week at the golf course, will be catching a few passes for the Cougars in several weeks, making a few blocks and some tackles as well.  Hard to think of football with the temperatures in the hundreds during the day and the 70's at night.    

-Guess who came out and played a round of golf with her dad?  Hannah LaMar!  What a surprise.  And, just to show dad she's no slouch on the golf course, she chipped one in from off the green at #3!  Has to be sweet.
