D-League

Thanks for the invite Ben101er. I'm not sure about making that trip...that's a 4 1/2 to 5 hr drive not including the time change. I have a few vacation days left so I'm not ruling it out. Oct. 1st seems like a nice day for some golf... It will probably take a special set of circumstances...i.e the redhead is OK with it & I get away from work. I always like to play new courses.
Let me mull it over...maybe I could meet up w/ymmot outside of Lville?

You have to get up a little earlier, but it is great when you get that hour back, on the return trip. If, we play at 10 am, you could be home by 5:30 with the change.

I have never smoked pot or used any illegal drugs. I don't even know what it smells like. What have I missed? Cool is something I never was.
I might be the only 76 year old man who has never seen pot. Only pictures. I missed it completely. It just wasn't around when I was a youth. By the time I was married and raising a family I had more things on my mind . So I missed it. Now my brother was different but he was 10 years younger

Played the Friday night scramble tonight. Nothing much happened to speak of, except for the last drive I hit. 423yd par 4 and my ball was sitting right next to the 100yd marker in the middle of the fairway. I can't imagine I'll ever hit one that far again. Everything must have come together just right.

I am a 73 year old man who grew up in Park City on a farm that raised hemp during World War II. Our fence rows were full of wild hemp that kept coming up until 1965 when the State Police came in and cut it down.

I never smoked it because my dad told me not to.

I will concede the discounts, but you still can't play the senior tees.

We've moved some of our seniors up to the red tees, or ladies tees if you will, and of course the same people who have a problem with EVERYTHING also have a problem with that.

Golf would be better for everyone if we would just get the idea out of our heads that tee locations are based on age and gender. The tees we play should be based upon our abilities.

A couple of the guys we moved up to the reds have gone from 15-20 hdcps down to 5-10. I've tried to explain to the naysayers that these guys can still play competitive golf if they're able to reach a green in regulation. Some can drive a max of 150yds and that just won't get you to a 400yd par 4 with a reasonable chance of making par.

Also Ben, I've got a guy who might be coming with us. He has to check his calendar but as of last night he thinks he can make it. He's about a 15 hdcp but hits the ball solid and straight. He's 1 week younger than me but just doesn't have the length I do. He should be playing from the senior tees.
 
I'm not watching yet. My wife wanted to watch The Mule with Clint Eastwood. Oh well. Next Saturday there will be no debate until January.
It could be worse - at least you got Clint, Ymmot. My wife and I are in a hotel celebrating our anniversary and she stumbled across a channel showing —wait for it — Les Miserables. Yes, I’m watching a Frog musical on football opening night. The things I do to make an anniversary special.

Tell her I said she's lucky to have you! Tell her with feeling, really sell it. Thanks.

Well, we need to find out if Eville can play. If not, my friend from Shelbyville can make it. He lives about 2 minutes from the exit.
