All 3 of mine were at Le Triomphe:

#1 (1997): Hole #8. Over a pond, sucker pin on the far right, so of course I aimed for it. 167 yds, 5-iron. The hole is right behind my house, so when we all yelled after my shot, our kids’ nanny looked out the window to see what the noise was about, and figured it out. I included her name in the paper as a witness.

#2: (2000): Hole #3. 140 yds, as they were saving the back tees for the state mid-AM 2 weeks later. 8-iron, straight into the sun. I couldn’t see it, but when my competitive friend cursed me, I knew it was good news for me. (Side note: 3 weeks later, I won my only club championship by shooting my PR at the time from the tips to beat players a lot better than me.)

#3: (2011): Hole #16: 170 yds, 7-iron (downhill, downwind). Witnessed by my 12 yo son, who actually didn’t see it go in, because he was lying in the cart looking at the sky for some reason. I had him run onto the green ahead of me and witness the ball in the hole.

Bonus: (2016) Double Eagle: Le Triomphe hole #7: driver-rescue 3 club.

That’s who I wanted. But I also wanted Herman and Napier, so probably good news for LSU

At this day and age with all the new key players every year, I can see the desire to play relatively easy games while figuring out all the moving parts. Not saying I wouldn’t like to see some games against better competition; just that I understand the reasoning, if that’s even what it is.

My favorite rock band name out there now; “We were promised jetpacks”.

Twice. The first time it took six months to become relatively pain-free. I could handle the pain; the worst thing was the lack of sleep. Every 1-2 hours, the pain would wake me up. The second time was easier, because I figured out how to wedge myself into the oversized cushions on our couch.

Don’t skimp on the rehab. It hurts like hell, but is very important to get a good final result.

When I heard the Ryder Cup was going to be at Bethpage Black, I knew the fans would be an issue. I’m actually surprised that they weren’t worse.

That’s actually what Ernie Els used to do, for the same reason.

The one time I played Cypress Point (subtle brag), I was one under thru 10, shot 81.

What I was happy to see was our tacklers pulling up when necessary to avoid personal fouls, like #7 did on the last 4th down play.

Does anyone know why NASA didn’t give these guys another shot at the moon on a later flight?
