What will Phil do next?
It is always nice when someone you know does well.
I was rally rooting for Phil this time. I'm so glad he won it. No one deserves it more. I'd be happy if I could play golf--even a little bit. I broke one of the bones in my left arm at the elbow joint, and now can't totally straighten out that arm, which put the end to my golfing. Surgery made it worse. I've considered trying to learn golf again leftie--where I would not need to have the left arm straight. I can imagine how bad I'd be. On the other hand, if I can tough through the considerable pain I get when I connect on a solid right handed drive, maybe the scar tissue will start to break down and it will fix itself. Self torture is not my forte, or I would have become a physical therapist. Perhaps I'll take a few trips to the driving range, with something for the pain, and see what happens. When I was a teenager, I worked as a caddie. On slow days, and when the ponds were low, my brother and I'd collect golf balls. We'd go into the trash bins and pull out all the original boxes, and repackage what we found. One day we totaled it up. We had two dozen, dozen boxes, in new boxes. That's two gross! grin They were all sorted by brand and condition. Our most prized were the perfect Titleist big dimples. Each in individual three pack boxes--sorted by the numbers on the balls into three packs. These were new balls hit once without a mark on them. The quality and grading decreased down to the gashed balls we would tee up on the top of our hill, and use to try to hit the neighbors house. Every once in a while, we'd connect and worry we might actually make a 300 yard drive and hit it. I've sure they found many unexplained golf balls in their yard over the years. The nicer balls we didn't want to use, and we finally settled on the plan of giving them to our Aunt Barbara for Christmas gifts. We kept her in supply for probably 15 years, apologizing towards the end for the lesser quality of our gifts. How is your golf Donal? Are you a leftie or a rightie?

I don't play often enough to have a decent handicap. I can do 18 holes in about 96. However, my 14 y/o son is going to be good...... very good! He has just become a Junior Member at one of this country's best clubs. Today, he played 18 for 98. In four weeks he will be below 90. Last week he played a round with a friend. After the game I asked them about their score. His friend said that he had played "OK". I asked for actual scores. His friend said that he scored ONE over par!!!!!! 14 y/o!!!!! My son is very competitive ... Regards Donal -- |

Scotty That was a piece of luck for Phil to be able to watch Dimarco's putt on the exact same line. I knew Phil had it won before he stepped up to putt. See, if you could watch Dimarco's breaks, you would have had that 6 under. |

"N1EE" wrote That was a piece of luck for Phil to be able to watch Dimarco's putt on the exact same line. almost to the point where it seemed 'set up'. I knew Phil had it won before he stepped up to putt. I was rooting for a tie, but it was exciting the way it went. See, if you could watch Dimarco's breaks, you would have had that 6 under. I'm taking my sawzall next time. |

Good idea. Do you remember the talk of the
Eisenhower tree? Old Ike should have brought a chainsaw with him. "Scott Vernon" wrote I'm taking my sawzall next time. |
