Any day you can get out on the course is not a bad day. We were out in the boat. This is the sweet time for us. It is warm enough that my wife likes to go fast and the water is still too cold for manatees so we can. On top of that I got 20 gallons of gas at Shell for 88 cents a gallon with my rewards card and the 80% off gas card. Life is good |

We won't be seeing Manatees here until April. They are starving and swimming around in their own poop up at the power plant right now. He is not as interested in dolphins as Ed was tho. We haven't really had one blow right next to the boat yet. He also hasn't been jumping out as much as Ed did but I expect that will change as soon as he gets more comfortable with the boarding platform. It has been cool enough that we have not really encouraged having a big wet dog rubbing against us. |

You're not playing in a league. A league of my own ;-) I also have no problem "improving my lie", teeing one up in the fairway or simply skipping putting out a hole if I am just going too slow that day. Sometimes I get back on track on the next tee. Ha! That's the kind of golf I enjoy. If I play with someone who takes it too seriously, it takes some of the fun out of it, at least for me. We are always in a competition in the league. We are required to enter our scores in the Golf Handicap and Information Network provided by the USGA, so we try to follow the rules. I'll have to admit we take 'gimmees' when putting, but much of the reason there is to speed play. ;) But we have fun! I just like getting out in the fresh air and hitting the ball. If I find it, great, if I don't I tee one up from where I wanted it to go and hit that. (I don't always tee up on the fairway but sometimes I do) You still get just as much fresh air looking for a ball in the woods! With the added excitement of snakes and alligators ;-) Usually we just don't want to hold up the course over a 40 cent golf ball. If there is nobody behind us we will look around and usually come up with several balls. At my wife's club, they were so interested in keeping the course moving that they gave away balls in the pro shop. The contract divers kept what they found in the lakes but the grounds keepers threw the ones they found in a barrel in the pro shop. I assume the club pro sucked out all the Pro Vs before they made it to the barrel They were moving over 200 rounds a day through the course, even on short winter days. |
Ha, ha Greg and Wayne

Like you've said, you don't worry about a score. There's one course up here that gave away a dozen golf balls when the round was played. I lost almost the entire dozen. General's Ridge. Mean golf course. |
