Spring Slyder Cup Results

We played our Summer Slyder Cup Golf tournament at Cherry Blossom GC today in Georgetown, Ky. J. R. and I lost on the final hole. It was tied going to the 18th hole and we bogeyed the hole and Harold and Barry sunk a 6 foot putt to par the hole and win the match. It was close all the way, tho J. R. and I were never ahead. We played good at times, making some crucial putts, but our luck ran out on the final hole. We'd won 2 in a row and was hoping for a three-peet, but now we need to regroup and look to win the next big Slyder Cup showdown!

Willow Park Sunday Night

It was another fun night at Willow Park. We met Mark and Kim and the girls, plus the Norrenbrock's and Ilari's. Erin told me when she got there "I want to dance the first song with you, Grandpa". Well, when a pretty girls asks you to dance, you dance. Erin and Jill got to enjoy a nice cool popsickle on a hot night. I don't know about other neighborhoods, but I'd bet there's not another place in Louisville like Willow Park on a Sunday night!

Mr. 'Possum takes a Ride

I caught another varmit last night. This one is a small opossum, about half grown. Something has been upsetting my squirrel traps, rolling them around to get at the peanuts. So I set my big trap to find out what it might be. I really thought it was a raccoon, and it still might be. But, this guy was the one that took the bait. I took him for a ride down on Mellwood by 'Mom's Music' and let him go in the gravel parking lot. He now has a nice home down by the river.

Thursday at Eagle Creek GC

We played Eagle Creek Gc in LaGrange, Ky today. It was round 33 for the year and I shot 45 - 38 = 83. I was not all happy with my front nine, but pleased with the back nine. I only had a couple of holes on the front nine that were bad, but those two holes were 'really' bad.
I had a stretch on the back nine where I birdied two strait holes, and miss a very makeable birdie putt on the next hole, a par three. I've never birdied three holes in row before. It would have been nice. Out team won low team today, so I got $6 for my effort. My net 69 score didn't come close to Buddy's 73 net 62! But, we were teammates...so way to go Buddy! I think my next round will be Monday at Cherry Blossom GC. But, I believe this one will be a round where we alternate shots on some holes, scramble some holes, and play our own balls on some holes. So, it won't count on my total rounds for the year.

Bad golf at Seneca GC....mostly the front side

I played Senceca GC today with Brian, Mark and Matt. It was round 32 for the year. I played a very poor front nine but played a little better on the back nine. I shot a 49 - 42 = 91. I walked the front nine but decided to ride the back. It got just a little to hot. I've noticed that when you're playing bad, you get bad breaks. If you hit a tree, it kicks the wrong way. When you need a good bounce one direction, it kicks the other way. I really think the better you play, the more good breaks you get.
This is the kind of round I need all those people who want me to give them strokes to remember. They never remember these 90 plus rounds. At least, not as long as I remember them!

I was attacked !

While sitting in the swing in the back yard I was attacked by these two water gun wielding thugs! While doing the Army low-crawl, they said "pretend you can't see us". So, not being able to see them, it was a complete surprise attack!

I tell ya, I'm rolling in money!!!

I played Iroqouis GC today, shot a 41 - 38 = 79. Played pretty good. Our team won, so I got back $6. Jerry Norrenbrock won low man. He had a 73, net 58! My 79, less my 14 handicap netted me a 65. I played pretty good and got beat my 7 strokes! I did find out that I won the front nine on Tuesday. So I got $19 from that. So, $25 total today. Yep, the money's just rolling in!
