Was in Fort Wayne on day job business this week and was lucky enough to have dinner with the one and only Judge Smails.  There's no photographic evidence of this event, I'm guessing because neither one of us had the presence of mind to actually take a picture.

 

For the record, had a great time shooting the breeze with Hizzoner -  two hours fly by when you're having fun with a fellow golf freak!

 

Also for the record, the Judge ordered a Sausage Roll and I had the Rib Tips and a cup of chili.  

 

He did NOT order a Fresca.

 

Thanks for the great evening Judge - and if we can get josmi out next time then things could get really crazy!!

Good point.  But the fact that until about 15 minutes ago, i didn't even know Fresca still existed must say something...and it's not that I need to get out more..LOL

Where is the Unlike button.  Well even if it's winter, I'm sure we can find a good spot for dinner or if you're near Dulles the heated stalls at Top Golf solve both issues!!

Great little bar! You guys should have gone and snuck a short round in at Whispering Creek! Next time you decide to come visit Fort Wayne, just give me a holler, I'm sure there's tons a 23 year old can learn from some MGS vets!
