Golf 2018

Reed hangs on. Fowler doesn't choke away a final round but still falls short. Spieth with the great round. Wozniaki was sticking pins in her Rory kewpie doll.

I gotta get me a Fowler creamsicle hat.

I come off the course and the sun comes out.     Hmm

Played/walked 18 this morning.    About 8:30, it was 50 and overcast, no breeze.    At 10:00, I took off my pullover and almost broke into a sweat comin' down number 9.     About number 11 or 12, some clouds rolled in and the wind picked up to a steady breeze.    By 17 and 18, it was 40 something degrees with a 25 MPH wind out of the NNW.   I put my pullover back on.     Eighteen is into the wind.    I hit a 5 iron pretty solid.    It went straight into the wind and I swear it hung there, in stillness, for 5 or 6 seconds before falling to earth.

Coulda been worse.

It only sprinkled for 5 or 10 minutes.    There are no bad days on the course.

Embedded videos are pretty cool:

There is hope for all of us...

I hit the pin once. It flew off the green into a bunker. Took a further 3 to get it down.

Armed with his trusty five-wood, the sprightly nonagenarian sent his tee shot over the lake at the 152-yard par-three third hole, and watched with delight as it found the green and trickled into the cup.

Not too shabby for a 93 year old even without a lake and hole in one.

No wonder he has been in a slump.

Played 18 this A.M.    Probably watch some of this later.    Radio update was givin' some brutal scores.

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriste D. Johnson's puttin' and I didn't see the hole.    He was facin' way to the left.      It was in the lower right part of the screen.    That's one hell of slope.

I'm listening to Mike Francessa on the radio and he's having a fit because they let like "30 people!!" go traipsing through wherever he lost his ball, to where one of the guys kicked it on accident and they let him take a free drop.  I don't know anything about golf but it's been funny listening to him get all bothered by it

I was listenin' to the local sport's talk (Grant and Danny) and they were mockin' him something terrible.   They think he's lost his mind.

Francessa?  Maybe, he's still fun to listen to when he's knocking the Mets though

Yep him.    I haven't listened to him since he came back  ...   and not much before that.     The local guys are my only connection to what people think about Francessa  ....  well other than you.

Day-um I dislike Joe Buck.

Not like you can turn on the radio broadcast.

I saw one guy shot a 92. I believe the hockey referee shot an 83.  Not bad considering.
