-Windy and cool yesterday. Good for the riprappers (they moved a lot of rock with their bobcats just zipping about all day and far into the evening) but not for golfers. Closed early.
-Of our golfing family members: Feeling under the weather: Wilma Bateman, Sam Potts. Feeling better: Clyde Wake, back on his feet and even back behind a wheel. He suffered a slight concussion several weeks ago and was wrapped up pretty tight by both his doctor and his daughter. In fact, his daughter left instructions at the golf course that if he showed up, she was to be contacted immediately. He's much better now though not swinging a club yet.
-Over in Shanghai: Ernie Els, Tiger's playing partner, fires a seven under round on the second day of the tournament. T. Woods, on the other hand, goes up and down with five birdies and five bogeys for an even par round and, reportedly, showed a little fire on the 18th tee box when he kicked his balky driver around after another poor shot (oh my). Ernie is tied for third behind Francesco Molinari (-9) and Lee Westwood (-8); Tiger tied in the tenth spot, five strokes back. Still anybody's tournament.
-Cool today with a not so warm start for Saturday. Still, we'll try a scramble at 11am when the weather guys are calling for it to be a sunny 42 degrees (expecting what frost there is to be gone by then) with the temps around 47 when we finish at one. Perfect (?!).
-Tomorrow night over in Shoals, the Shoals/Loogootee Nostalgia Basketball game will be played. Chris Bateman was telling me yesterday that the boys' squads are limited to graduates during the 90's for this year's event (dang - I was gonna play this year after watching some of those old guys hobble around last year - they inspired me - been practicing for months). The ladies are playing as well (any graduate through 2005) with their game starting at 6:30. Men follow.
-Heading to Bloomington.

Mike Strawn Smiling
And Charlie Sheetz as well. Photo taken when they were out there Tuesday afternoon along with Tony Wease.
Bits and Pieces
-TW fires a 4 under and trails HSBC leader by three over in Shanghai. He and his two playing partners, Ernie Els and Graeme McDowell, each bogeyed their very first hole. Of the three, Tiger recovered the most with his -4. Ernie at even par and Graeme at +2. Francesco Molineri leads the pack at -7. Round two this evening. Go Tiger! (Are they televising this over in the Far East?)
-Thursday golf game will start at noon. That's in about three hours.
-On Randy Moss: Dave Wininger refreshed the waiver rules for me on Tuesday afternoon, suggesting that 22 or 23 other teams would have to pass on Randy Moss for the Colts to have a chance at him. Sure enough, the highly skilled and mouthy star receiver was snatched up, this time by the Titans. But, get this: The Titans were #22 in the waiver claim order - and the only team to submit a claim. So, guess the Colts weren't interested afterall.
-The Fighting Irish get to rest their weary bones this week then take on the rest of the season against Utah, USC and Army. Hmm, that looks like maybe a 1 and 2 finish. Wonder how long it's been since Army has won against Notre Dame? Wouldn't that beat all, losing to Army, Navy and Tulsa all in the same year. Unthinkable, right?
-The weather people are calling for a bit of a change here tomorrow - chance of rain and snow and a low tomorrow night of 23. 23? Yikes!
-Piles of rock dropped off at the golf course late yesterday afternoon. The shoreline there just off the practice green, and the area just south of #7 green, are being 'reconditioned', built up.
-Promised Mike Strawn I'ld get a photo of him smiling up on the blog. Now's as good a time as any. Come out and join us at noon if you can pull yourself away from whatever.

Thursday Morning Game Start Time
Lets try a noon start on tomorrow's game and see if we can get a bunch of interested golfers.
Little Big Man Charlie Sheetz with Friends: Take One
Charlie with Mike Strawn and Tony Wease during their round of golf yesterday. Gonna have to ask Charlie about that yes-I-just-ate-the-canary smile of his. Watch for take two in coming days.
Short Jeffers and George Templin Win Tuesday Scramble
Short Jeffers and George Templin used five birdies and four pars to card a round of 30 and win the Tuesday Afternoon Scramble this week. The twosome birdied their first three holes, #'s 2, 3 and 4, and then found two more birds at holes 8 and 1. Four other teams competed for the win with Dave Wininger and Joe Doyle coming in second with a round of 32. Nick Wininger and Curt Johnson, Mike Bird and Travis Brett, and Trenton Kidwell and Greg Potts all finished at 33.
