  1. I think Patrick regrets throwing that 5 wood up in the wind on the 18 approach.
  2. Come on, clench that cervix, Mere!
  3. When did they let women start playing golf? /misogyny /sarcasm
  4. [mention=1192]zepol87[/mention] unless you're on the early ferry, drive up to the chimes on the hour. It's really cool and loud when they ring, and a great view of Avalon as well.
  5. You gotta get Danica to send us those screenshots.
  6. Good. You have my number, lets connect this weekend.
  7. Closed on my sale this morning, the buyers should be getting hand cramps right about now. I thanked my agent for protecting me from myself.
  8. Unless Rory pulls a Mark Chumura he will always be one of my favorites.
  9. Barbara must have been a great wife. Or maybe Tiger just had certain appetites.
  10. You're exactly right. It's an act of insanity. I know guys at the halfway house fresh outta the pen who aren't on a winning streak that hit their knees in gratitude every morning. One of the 3 aforementioned suicides I mentioned was a billionaire’s daughter who could have taken daddy’s jet anywhere in the world to get away. Those of us who remain are the ones who have to deal.
  11. I’ve likened my alcoholism to a football team that punts on first down rather than face the music and attempt to advance the ball for another set of downs. But in my mind, I really want to be the greatest show on turf, tomorrow. Does that make sense to anyone else? Recovery is like 3 yards and a cloud of dust sometimes.
  12. “From the outside” - if I’ve learned anything from the 3 suicides from people very close to me that have died by suicide in the last 10 months, it’s that things are not always what they seem. One of my closest friends died 3 Tuesdays ago. We had talked on Sunday and he seemed in such a great mood. He took his 4 kids fishing the day before and they had posted pics all over social media of what was seemingly the most perfect, idyllic Saturday spent at the family farm/private lake. Then somehow Monday night/Tuesday morning he went to a house that he was flipping and ended his life. I was out on my boat yesterday and was remembering all our fishing trips just wishing we could have had one more where I had the courage and foreshadowing to say “what’s really going on with you, my friend.” But I couldn’t have seen it coming.
  13. I needed this. Highly motivating. Gonna strap in and do work.
  14. After the Toonamint yesterday, I picked up Verne’s autobiography. Very much a Texana focused book. Highly recommend.
  15. After the emotions at yesterday’s Masters, I picked up Verne Lundquist’s autobiography. Very entertaining especially if you’re a Texana /UT/Cowboys fan.
  16. During droughts I’ve seen them parked every 200’ in a bayou. Hundreds of them. I sweatergawd this one was waiting for me to break out a pack of hot dogs or something.
  17. Re IBM, both Lou Gerstner and Ginny Rometty are members, I wonder if they ever invite Arvind or if he even plays golf. I just need to get a deal big enough teed up and I can entertain clients there. Did it at the Dell last year.
  18. Back to reality for us poors. My dad’s brothers kid was in town for his parents’ 60th anniversary party. Last night at around cake cutting time looked at him and said “pick you up at 5am? I know all your tackle is back home but I got you covered.” So I did spend the remainder of the evening re-spooling 6 reels and gearing up. Moon and tide was all wrong, wind howling straight up the ship channel so we retreated to the LA marsh which you know I love dearly. Got into a pod of 28”-34” reds up in a duck lake and had a ball. Then from 30 feet away this 7 footer chases down my cousin’s cork and eats the hook. I cut the line about 5’ above the first knot. I’ve been fishing for 48 years and I’ve never encountered a more aggressive gator. He sat right by the Boat for a half hour like my dog begging for scraps. He wouldn’t shoo, was probably a she. Maybe defending her nest? Seriously freaked me out.
