Putting an offer in on a house in Oregon… it’s perfect, right by ALL of the golf courses.

I could use some luck, prayers, whatever it takes to make this work… probably money now that I think of it… that part is covered, but I still need the luck and prayers.  

Where abouts?

Secret… somewhere near Astoria… don’t want anyone outbidding me

I just had to look Astoria up to see photos and that's a beautiful area. Personally, I think the PNW is one of the most gorgeous areas I've ever been to. Good luck on the house, Alan!

I’ll be there regardless.  And I’m down as long as my schedule permits… definitely going to plan a “Shankster Invades Bandon” trip.

My time in Washington was some of the best days.  It is just amazing out there.  Clean crisp air, mountain and sea views… can’t beat it.  We are really looking forward to it.

I’ve lived in Washington twice. Once courtesy of Uncle Sam at Ft. Lewis and later in life for 17 years just north of Seattle. The view of Mt. Rainier never got old.

A couple of weeks ago I sent my Ping G410 Crossover to Ping for repair. The shaft was twisting in the head. I had a Golf Pride MCC Plus 4 teams grip in blue and gold installed on my club.The Ping repair tech informed me that they would not be able match that grip if they needed to replace the shaft. When Ping received my club they called me to inform me that indeed they would need to replace the shaft. They asked me which grip I would like. I asked if they had a gray MCC Plus 4 grip. The tech said yes. I asked for that one and asked that they install it logo down. I received my club back today.

At no point did the repair tech indicate that it was an Align version of the MCC Plus 4 grip. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I will be visiting Golf Galaxy to pick out a new grip. I feel bad wasting a new grip. Sometimes that last 10% is the toughest to achieve. I learned that early in my career installing and maintaining cardiovascular X-Ray systems.

Congratulations!!!  FYI, it is expected that a tsunami will travel more than 1.9 miles inland.
