Dateline:  McKinney, TX   March 14, 2015

The sky was angry on Saturday my friends.  The weather man completely botched the forecast and we played in a roaring wind and spitting rain from time to time.

The course of record was Westridge.  Normally, a course I love to play but Saturday was tough.

I could have sworn I was playing with a carbon copy of myself.  While I struggled out of the gate with 3 consecutive bogies, Kent played the first 7 holes in 5 over.  His new G30 Ping irons were launching the ball high and straight. 

Unfortunately, while the Captain was working his magic on #7 with a chip in birdie (net eagle), Kent scored and par and then his mind left his body for the next 7 holes.  He finished the stretch from 8 to 15 at a whopping 20 over.  The good news is that the holder of one of the RAM awards kept his composure the whole time and no clubs were tossed.  Kent, welcome to MY GAME!

The Captain brought #8 to it's knees.  3 well directed shots to the right of the property fence (the course is on the left side of the fence!) and the captain was BIPSIC with an 8 and he still had at least 180 yards to get to the hole...

I want to leave everyone with a smile on your face.

Captain, Wayno and I got to play a couple of hours of dominoeswith the commissioner.  He is still fighting through some post surgery issues but there were lots of smiles and laughs.....I thought I was going to wet my pants after the Captain overbid Johnny to go 2 marks on a "sure thing" nello hand.  Unfortunately for the captain, we smoked him out and sure enough he got caught with the "Captain domino" - the 5:6 - named from another "sure fire" nello hand by the captain!

 

Until next time boys....keep those cards and letters coming....
