Where up north. Come on by and I'll treat you to 18 at Greendale - walking of course.

Today was a bad day. For some reason I had coughing, sneezing, and runny nose all day out there.
Never have had anything like it. Pollen or something especially bad. In the house now and all is
well.

The pollen has been terrible the last week or so...I sneezed 20 times
walking from the parking lot to the gym this morning. When I finished
up, there was a dusting of yellow pollen powder on all the cars in the lot.

I was in Bradenton this time. Same guys, different venue.
They wanted to go offshore but the weather was not cooperative so we
just chased fish around by hitting golf balls into the lakes at
Manatee golf course. ;-)

Hey, *i* could hit golf balls into a lake. Maybe.

The "game" is silly but hitting the ball is fun. I actually had a
pretty good front nine but the back nine was bad for all of us. I
think we were all just "done". We were all just dropping another ball
and hitting it. Nobody was really keeping score.
It may have been my fault. I took them about 150-200 golf balls I got
for free. The serious golfer in our group went through and plucked out
all of the "Pro V" and a couple Callaways and Nikes he said were good.
We were whacking the rest. I am sure the ball hawks were in hawk
heaven following us around. I bet we left 20 in the tall grass and a
few more in the water.

I played a round at Hilton Head last summer. Maybe that is overstating
it. I bashed a bunch of golf balls around a course and managed to see a
couple of gators in a couple of water hazards which, of course, made
them real water hazards.

One of the things I like about the courses we play here are that they
are wildlife refuges. We were at Manatee in Bradenton and it is a
mecca for wading birds
I got this Tricolor Heron pic the other day that came out nice

These guys are pretty cool too. I know you have the big blue herons up
there but I doubt you see many spoonbills.

Yesterday I got to the course before it officially opened. There's no driving range, so I'll hit a
few trash balls into the lake between numbers 10 and 11. I'd hit a couple into the lake and my next
shot went well out into the fairway on number 10. In other words, I totally missed a good sized golf
course lake! And, the marshall had come out of the clubhouse just as I took that swing. He though I
was starting on the back nine before the course opened. So I had to explain it was just a ****ty
practice shot.

I wish I could get such a shot every time I play number 10. About half the time the damn ball goes
into the lake!
