First of all, best wishes and prayers to Randy Brown. Secondly,
greetings to Bobby, Frank, Bert, Carbs, Moderate, MnMike, Anni,
Howard, Loudon, Clark, and Pitts. I've almost missed you guys.
Significant golf news in my life is that I reluctantly joined the
local country club, taking advantage of a membership deal they had
($1495/annual...no food or fees). Smartest move I've made since
leaving RSG. :) Aside from the usually empty golf course, the big
surprise was how friendly and unpretentious the membership is. There
are games every day but all I ever have to do is show up and soon I'm
invited into a game. Real contrast with my membership in public
courses. For those of you who actually golf, you may want to look
into it yourself. Country clubs are hurting and consequently, deals
abound. Link to my course is below...

Last comment....is Tiger doing a modified version of the stack n
tilt? Whatever he's doing, it sure is fun to watch him play. Still
think he's a twit but dang, he's good for the game....and my personal
interest. The Chevron had me riveted.

from Brad Greer and in it he asked about you. Didn't have any news,
but now I do.
RSG is a u-turn from the good old days. Very little golf spoken here.
All of the c-list is gone and they asked my why I stayed. I guess
it's because if I'm gonna discuss politics I'd rather do it here than
one of the political forums. At least most here are golfers.

I'm not a obsessive about mechanics, but to me his swing looks nearly as
good as it did during the Harmon era. He's making solid contact nearly
every time and there's not a lot of extra movement. He just has to keep
it in play to be right there. If his putting picks up he will have a
very good year.

Ya know...I was one of those who thought you were nuts but now I get
it. Getting into a right mix of fellas is priceless, especially the
beer, blood, and bragging rights afterwards.
Ironically there is a pack of Texans (from Longview) who travel north
every year to play in our member guest (and escape your heat/
humidity). I happen to be paired with one named Ricky Ray Stubbs. We
had a ball...and took 2nd place.
He has a full blown Texan twang which really amused me, especially
when he said to me, "put it in the ho." So one time I asked him,.
"Ricky Ray, how do you say whore in Texas?"
"Ho"
"How do you say hole in Texas?
"Ho"
"Hmmm...."

Thanks. Glad to see you are doing well. What a year for Dallas

Not sure if I'll stick. Started a new business, in addition to

easier than the back...by an average of 4 strokes. I've really had to
adjust my expectations on this course. My GHIN is 14 which makes my
course handicap a 16. I'm tickled to break 85 where before, on the
muni track, I was disappointed when I didn't break 80. You must have
a good short game to score on this course. Many slick, sloped greens.

supposedly S&T.
His putting was amazing....especially the last day of the Prez Cup.
My favorite shot was the Phil Phlop on Friday's round that almost went
in. I neither have the talent nor courage to try a shot like that.
Amazing!

When the golf course is two minutes from your house you don't need to

Greg... I told Judy about our recent interchange and she said she couldn't quite remember you. I said you had brought your wife. She asked, "Theresa?". Funny what the ladies remember. She says she was in a group with Theresa, Joey (who she adores) and Theresa and they were having quite the time in the wind and rain at Wildhorse... Theresa with her rain cape and them doing a lot of laughing. Bob
