I've been watching. It's all pretty surreal.

Could be their last round together is all they keep saying. I don't wanna believe that.

Haven't played Tour 18 in a year but then it wasn't in its best condition. I'd contribute that to the drought though. Hope it's in better shape now. Let us know.

Last time I played it the Astros were still in the dome. I see its managed by Arnies group. Might have to have a talk with him on Sat. about the conditions.

Had a blast at the Insperity yesterday. Got there early walked down to 17 just in time for a kid to haul about a 5lb. bass from the pond in front of the green. Like I said it was early and none of the players had made the turn yet. He brought the bass over to the cart path so a spectator walking toward us could take a picture of it. I asked the boy if he lived on the woodlands property and he said no he live about 4 miles from their and rode his bike to the course. I looked at the bass and said it was a female and he replied yep, I caught it on her bed, as so he took it back and released it into the pond. Saw the greats, Jack, Gary, Lee, was a little dissapointed Arnie wasn't there. George Bush Sr., arrived, so that was a nice suprise. Followed Jack, Lee, and Gary a couple of holes, and on hole no. 1 Jack rolled in about a 45 footer for eagle and the crowd went wild. Caught Brad Bryant, Esteban Toledo and Bernhard Langer on 6 and followed them to nine and then watched the greats finish 9. D. Graham almost holed his second shot there, and Lee putt within gimme also in which G. Player jockingly gripped his putter just above the putter head and tapped it in. Beautiful day and was impressed how all the old guys still hit it. Side note, played tour 18 Fri. afternoon. Pretty good shape and pretty reasonable. Then went to Top Golf driving range and had a blast. Sorry so long.
