My eldest was running middle distance for University of Houston up until last month when she decided she'd had enough. My daughter is a jumper and does the heptathlon for Belmont Abbey college outside of Charlotte. She does high jump, long jump, triple jump, 100-meter hurdles normally. Then when she is in a heptathlon they add in javelin, shot put, and a 400-meter run. She is actually doing quite well for a sophomore. Broke the school record for the most points for the school in a heptathlon a couple weeks ago. Also within a couple of inches of the record for triple jump. She has a meet tomorrow then next week is the conference championships in Myrtle in which she qualified for three events. cksurfdude, David Leighton Reid, cnosil and 9 others 12 Quote Driver, TSi 1 S Flex 3 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 7 Wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 Hybrid King Tec MMT R Flex Irons, Vice VGI01 Mitsubishi Wiz 60-gram regular flex (6 - PW) VGW01, 50 Degree.

My buddy and I typically decide up front, putt everything or inside the leather is good. That day it was putt everything. Coming into the green he had a long putt and left it about 18 inches short. As he approached the second put the deck started yelling out " Are you going to make him putt that" Quickly thinking I responded " For $1000.00 your dam right. It was silent in less than a second. He made the putt and they all cheered. I beat him anyway but it was a fun thing to do with the crowd. I'm surprise somebody on the deck didn't yell out "Hey Smails! Thousand bucks you miss that putt!" sirchunksalot, David Leighton Reid, Merlin1313 and 5 others 1 7 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's finally Friday and I'm enjoying my morning by drinking my daily cup of Joe and catching up on the forum. Having an early bedtime leaves me with quite a bit to read first thing in the morning.
