Where to put a 10' porta-bote?

I know the river did get better. If I was going out of Ft Washington I would worry more about the septic tanks in PG county than the sewer plant. Actually I launch upstream of the plant. But you're right, the water coming from the plant is much cleaner than the water coming from the Susquehanna and other rivers flowing into the bay. Fecal matter in the water keeps many of the Chesapeake beaches closed for half the summer. Oh, and BTW, I don't respond to Harry who is doing little more than trolling. I put him in the same class as nincdepoop and jps - maybe down a couple notches. But, if you condone their behavior, then help yourself. Hey John it is like golf. You have to play wherever the ball lands. Sometimes it is in the fairway, sometimes you have to play out of the rough. I don't take any of this seriously enough to get mad at anyone. I think there are a lot of good people here who just get caught up in the rhetoric and say insensitive things. Yeah, but when my ball lands in a pile of wet cow ****, I play another one. What cheap golf courses are you playing? One of my finest drives hit a cow paddy. Lake Tahoe course and the cows got through the fence during the night. I hit a ball in to a bad lie, and absolutely hit out the ball perfectly. Is out about 200 years, on a slight uphill rise, following the hill up. About 6" above the ground most of the way. Hits an 8" high cow flop near the top of the hill. Ball does a 90 degree straight up. Up about 50'. Damn, would have been a 300 yard drive. In the correct direction. |

He had a 10' putt and right as he was hitting it a leaf landed right in the path of the ball. Classic "rub of the green". That putt looked great too. That scene will probably be shown several times at every Masters in the future. Since they were a hundred yards from the nearest tree someone commented that a fan may have thrown the leaf. The commentator said that would have been the best shot all day. It was strange. I watched him line up the put then when they pulled back and I saw the ball hop I asked myself WTF? It wasn't until the replay that they actually saw the leaf and they had a good shot of it flying in on another camera angle. It makes you wonder how many cameras do they bring to a match like this. They seem to have several on every hole, This was strange for me. I don't think I have ever watched a whole golf match on TV before and stranger was it was my wife who wanted to watch it. I guess it was because she runs a country club and this was the only thing they were talking about for a month. I bet she was hanging around the club house today swapping observations with the pro and the other folks who hang out there. ;-) My observation. What do Amy Mickleson and Elin Woods have in common 1. they are both beautiful 2. they are both blonde 3. they both wanted Tiger to get his ass handed to him by Phil LOL! Funny, my wife wanted to watch the whole thing also. I had to waste an hour driving down to Quantico, and she watched even while I was gone. Who am I to complain? |
