D-League

Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F. Expecting a 105°F high today. Ugh!

Wishing @railroadkat_1 a speedy recovery.

Just got home from the golf course and the Friday night scramble. Just a little 9 holer with 6 man teams. Last week I won $25 for closest to the pin on #7. I won that again tonight and made the birdie putt. Then, THEN, I proceeded to hit a hole in one on #2!

That's my first one ever in spite of being very close many times. 190 yards with a 5 iron. Only won $25 for it tonight but if I would have done that on Wednesday I would have won $500.


:golf: :clap: :cheers2:
 
Good Saturday morning D-League

We made it. Congratulations to Tommy on the hole in one.:golf: Nice. [cheers] Well I am anxious to see how our football team scrimmages today. Looking at that secondary. If we get some good play back there we should have a nice season and a warm weather bowl. I am highly optimisitic

Looking out the window and I see some darker clouds which means a shower or two. Our temperature will range from 72° to 88°. We can expect a nice breeze most of the day. The humidity is typical for this time of year.

I will refill my coffee cup and get to what ever it is I am suppose to do today. Until I have another cup I disremember what that was. :boom: Get Well RR
 
  • Good Morning, D-Leagueanites and Lurkers.
  • A get-well-soon prayer for RRCat and anybody else that needs one.
  • Congratulations to Ymmot for his first Ace. That is a big deal. I have seen two of those in my entire life and on successive Thursdays. Those three guys are all in Heaven now. We had a lot of fun playing. We would gamble on the golf game and then play poker into the wee hours.
  • This Dark Magic is tasting good. Time for another mug.
  • 3 weeks until kickoff with Toledo. Hope we win.
  • Hope nobody gets hurt in today's scrimmage.
  • Take care y'all. Stay safe.
  • Carry on. As you were.

Well done sir! I played golf for 30 years and in all that time I never had a hole in one or even saw one.

The only hole-in-one I ever had happened because my ball hit a crawdad mound that was about 30 feet left of the green and kicked right and went in the hole.

Dang that is a good start for a round. I have never got within 3 feet of a hole in one.

Congrats Ymmot

Dad used to take me to the fairgrounds for roundy round racing and out to Ohio Valley for the drag racing. We went a lot during the 60's and early 70's. My uncle raced a 60 Ford F100 at OV so we got to hang out in the pits quite a bit. Great environment for a young impressionable youth.

Why don't you find you a day when you can go with me to play at Ben's super nice course in Ashland?

I got lucky and hit a towering shot right at the pin. It was basically coming straight down when it hit. I drove a par 4 today in a scramble but it was about 30 feet from the hole. Double eagle is my next objective.

Congrats Ymmot

We started on #6. It's always a shotgun start.
 
Played a scramble today. We shot -10. One guy is 75, one is 72, I'm 59 and one of the guys wife is 55. There were no gimmicks involved so 14 under is a really good score. That's what won and 13 under was second. We were tied for 4th out of 30 teams.

The best part though is that we had a great time. We've all known each other for over 30 years and played golf together many times. It never gets old though. Love those guys.
 
Checking in D-League. Back from the beach and back to reality.

Had a great week. Spent some hours on the beach at night with my son just watching the skies. Saw several shooting stars and one unexplained phenomenon - something way high about the brightness of a medium star. It moved at a brisk clip like a satellite, which is what I thought it was, across about a quarter of the sky. Then it stopped, stayed still for a few minutes, then started making sharp cuts in all sorts of directions. This went on for quite some time, then it vanished. Military satellite? High altitude drone? Who knows. Well maybe Catinil...

Thanks ymmot but I haven't played since 2001. I gave my clubs away years ago. Just a spectator these days.

Could have been the X37B, robotic experimental military space plane. Launched as a payload it returns like the shuttle. Just a lot smaller than the shuttle. It has been up there 700 days on it’s latest mission.

Interesting thought. It certainly occurred to me that we weren’t that far from the Dover Air Force Base. It’s an air mobility command base and of course KIAs from Central Command operations including Iraq and Afghanistan come through there. But could there be other, more experimental things going on there? Not likely. But possible I guess.
