He is probably spending his birthday like he spends most of his days, in an airport changing planes and in the sky on a cross country trip for work, or maybe visiting a OEM or two along the way.

 

But either way a Big Happy Birthday to our very own John Barba who provides us with the best golf writing on the web, and is a great help to all rest of the Forum Staff in helping to make this the Best Damn Golf Site anywhere.

 

So here's to you Barb's, Hope you get to enjoy a cold one or two

I'll just add “Happy Birthday” here to the two or so I've posted other places. I've known JB a long time; he's one of the best dudes I am lucky enough to call “friend”. If u get the chance spies, you need to meet him along the (golf) trail somewhere.

Well that was unexpected - thank you for the kind wishes.

 

It's been a long day - woke up in a Motel 6 in Dubuque after moving my kid from Minneapolis. He's going back to school - playing lacrosse for Clarke University. Then drove 4.5 hrs back to Minneapolis - couldn't move my flight up so played 18 at my old haunt, Shot a 77 and caught the 8:30 to Boston - landed around midnight and will catch the 1 am bus back to Exeter. I'd say it was a full day

 

Oh, and the wife and I - and her two sisters - leave for a week in Scotland Wednesday night. Me and the three sisters - what could go wrong?

Did stop at a scenic overlook on the drive - just north of Gutenberg, Iowa. Our world may be a little insane, but it sure is pretty,,,
