Haven't picked up a club in nearly a month - heading to Toronto tomorrow, my hosts are bringing me on a "Team Building Exercise." I understand it involves long steel sticks with metal nubbies on the end. I hope I can remember which end to hold...

I'm getting old. My daughter just showed me her Homecoming dress. All I could say is "Is that all of it?"

Doesn't bother me any... Don't eclipse the elipse!

First time out on the course in a couple of weeks yesterday -- used driver mostly and had my straightest driving day of the year. Length? Not so much, but short and in play beats long and in the woods every day of the week. Short game? A lot to little or a little too lot sums it up nicely, although had a handful of chips/pitches that left me in 1 putt territory -- working on "smooth" rather than "jab." After a 3 putt bogey on 9 left me a little edgy - proceeded to triple-bogey 10 (the whole looks to easy but is my arch-nemesis). Thought of tossing the clubs in the lake after driving into a FW bunker on 11, but saved par. Parred the next 3, the finished bogey-par-bogey par. Even had two "sandies" on the back -- leaving 2 foot putts both times. Okay, so I won't give up the game just yet...

There's a punch line in there somewhere. Go get 'em, and play well!

Had a nice round yesterday...an even 80 ( 9 over for the course). Hot front 9 (2 over 38 with a couple of lipped putts and one wimpy 4' effort to save par on 9) - included a birdie after hitting into a fairway bunker. Clipped a nice 6 iron from 155 out of the sand to about 12 feet. Back 9 started out as though the wheels were coming off. Hooked a drive on 10 into the weeds. 2nd shot was still in the weeds, 3rd shot advanced to the edge of the weeds. 4th shot was a 30 yard flop to 2 feet to save bogie (whew!). DB'd 11 from the middle of the fairway, TB'd 13 from the middle of the fairway, bogeyed the par 3 14th from the sand....and then parred in the rest of the way, making use of a 30 yard low-spinner on 18 that I learned from a video jmiller posted. 34 putts, 10 GIR's, 8 FW's hit, a few up n' downs...and the round had potential to be better. Can't wait for Sunday!

Flying home watching the Open, enjoying breakfast and reading MyGolfSpy - all at 35,000 feet somewhere over Nevada. Technology rocks!

Off to NoCal this morning - golf clubs are staying home. I hope they remember me when I get back...

Dude - that reads like one of my rounds!!!! Well, except for the fairways hit...

All I can say is: the ball don't lie! Great front 9 - two over 38 with some nice up 'n downs - only 12 putts. Back 9 - A cluster-youknowwhat from the git go. Parred the 2 Par 3's, but 4 DB's and 2 bogeys did us in...back in 46. When you play to an 11, you play to an 11. No kittens. No rainbows. The ball don't lie!

Great weekend so far: golf, golf, install new garbage disposal and today: more golf and #2 son's 16th birthday!

Stopped drinking altogether in 1997 -- didn't have a problem with booze, but was a tad worried I could be headed in that direction. Tried not drinking for a week, then a month, then 3 months...it turned into a year and at that point it was just easier not to drink at all. Got terribly dehydrated at a charity event 2 summers ago despite swigging down about 4 large Gatorades -- stuck with water from that point on.

Some choices are easy to make - Ping Tour van offering free woods fittings at my pro's club, or son's State semi-final lacrosse game?

Yet somehow it was funny when Rodney did it in Caddyshack...

What are you complaining about? You pay your greens fees, that entitles you to make as much noise as you want... Encountered this once with a twosome I was paired up with. Thankfully they just listened while they drove---they turned it either down or off when someone was hitting. Still don't understand why they thought it was necessary in the first place...

Airline seems to have misplaced my clubs--didn't arrive in RI when I did. Said they cuold get them here by noon today. One problem, tournement starts at 10 AM!

Off to Rhode Island tonite - charity scramble tomorrow, then 3 days of trade show and training. Wonder if my clubs will remember me come Friday? Oh, and whatshername, yeah, the wife...

You'd think a fantasy team with Webb Simpson, Rory, Hunter, Graeme McDowell & Louis Ousthauizen would do some serious damage at the Player's. Well, they did, but not the kind of damage you want...

Heading home from another road trip - will kiss my wife, pet the dogs and hug my clubs - in that order!

Last day of business travel. Haven't seen my clubs in 4 days. I hope they miss me...
