On my round today I was pleasantly surprised to see some course improvements underway. A couple of bunkers are getting some fresh sand. The straps are a bit on the firm to hard side so this is a nice development.

They do that periodically at my course because the wind blows the sand out exposing a lot of little rocks.  I can always tell when new sand has been added, but I fear the rocks are still there; just can't see 'em.

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

I was there in 67, and pretty sure they were experimenting with cardboard consistency 😱

I heard now remember I was in the Navy that they were experimenting with slung off recap tires with gravy for the Army and if it was successful the Airforce and Navy were getting it too

Had a blast today played my home course with our fellow MGSer Tom The Golf Nut and his friend Tim. None of us played our best but we had fun. Beat the rain and thunder storms. 

I had arraigned this with Rob I turned the Motocaddy over to Tom to finish the tests. I am having knee problems with my right knee and can not walk enough to test it like I want to. And in his area of Tennessee it will get more hills to wring it out on. So it is a win win. I am having problems with the right knee and I can play golf ok as long as I ride. What the quandary is right now is the insurance has a fund set up for future medical care relating to the accident. Right now they are not sure if it has to do with my permanent nerve damage in my back or something else. I am thinking it has to do with my Medicare kicking in full effect in September or my full disability kicking in at any time. I got my lawyer working on it now. Back wise I am ok but now it is the knee

Take care Grasshopper and forwarding the Motocaddy classy move.

... I will concede Joe was a better QB but even he would defer to Sam Davis when it comes to Medicare supplement plans. 😉 

Tom and I talked about you ( in a good way) yesterday. I told him I had consulted with you on my swing rebuild some since we both have back problems.

Saw the Cardiologist this morning and I’m cleared for Surgery on June 2nd.  
Extra helping of Bacon for everyone!!!

Oh sure your cardiologist cleared you but that doesn’t mean you go willy nilly into bacon. I’d suggest playing it safe with a bit of moderation and occasionally substitute sausage.

Links of course 😁. I’m playing Exec 9 with Bacon Boyz Friday and that should be it until surgery Thursday. SWMBO is getting nervous.

Only maple links.  And if you have Canadian bacon… 🤫 no one will know.  Just tell them it’s Turkey.

It's always a good thing to check the boxes at Wal-Mart, I once bought a box of Bridgestone B XS and ended up with three sleeves of them and one of a cheaper surlyn Bridgestone. I was not happy.

Yep.  seems like anything at Walmart that has a box that can be opened means that you need to check prior to buying.

They are both direct to consumer balls

They do sell some of the Vice balls in Wally World now. Had a friend of mine that bought what he thought was a dozen Soft Feels one time and ended up with a dozen cheapo Wilson balls. Of course he took them back and one of the CS reps told him that happens all the time from then on check.

Yup, a couple years ago at Wally World I was looking at balls and opened up a box of Titleist and there were Nitros or something similar.  Brought it to one of the workers and same answer, happens all the time. Lately Wally World ball selection is minimal I would imagine in response to the problem.

Theft at Big Box stores is over the top here.  Some guy pulled up at the receiving dock at Lowes and loaded up his pickup and took off.  They got him on camera and got him.

I have like a 46 way miss going on right now.  Yes, guessing game on which way the ball is going to go.  Not even sure how that is possible, but I have figured it out.  Today was a push draw that didn’t come back enough.  Yesterday it was a straight draw that drew too much, and the day before it was a 3 yard fade…guess I just aim down the middle and see what happens.

This game… I tell ya.

This year my course ordered new flags for the flagsticks; Blue/White, Yellow/White, and Red/White for back, middle and front locations.  Six of each color for the 18 holes + three extra for each color... so 27 flags.  I think the cost is around $1000.

In the last 2 weeks two flags... just the flags... were stolen off the flagsticks; and they took only the Yellow/White ones.  We now have only one extra Yellow/White flag left.   😠
