Mother, RIP, had a condo on 18 at the Cardinal. Enjoyed both courses. Sold it right before Katrina.

Does he enjoy playing in two man scrambles? Might have a side gig for him.
Have a 4 cup drip pot I use in the duck blind, and duck blind only. Ran out of coffee at home and busted it out. Just didn't taste the same when having a cup and watching mother nature wake up.
Ordered a bass seat for my boat a few weeks ago, it was $85.00 for a two piece boat seat. The back, and the seat. Used our rewards, brought it down to $55.00. Ok. Get the delivery and I get two seats, not one. Look back on the sales receipt and it says one two piece seat. I believe Amazon does this for increased sales later on.
Jordan Spieth had a pretty good run his first 5 years on tour, not a teenager though. Seems every few years there comes a new sensation.

Almost shot my age.

Been playing like crap the last 5 years or so mostly because of on going health issues like bad knees(to much jogging growing up)and right shoulder has some impingement that flares up every now and then. So breaking 80 has been tough to say the least. Been working on every aspect of my game when I can due to health issues. Driver has gone from 240 yds down to 220yds. Bought some new Callaway irons a few years ago and still haven't gotten the consistency like I had with the previous Taylormade irons. Some parts of my game have shown signs of getting better like putting, chipping, game management. Anyway, go out to Warrior Hills on Ft. Polk and play an afternoon round with a friend and his son. Play from the yellow, 2up, my friend from the 1 ups, his son from the back. Not a particular long layout, but its old school, and have small greens. Eagle number one par 5 with long putt, and go on to shoot 35, one under on the front. Was in a groove and everything just clicked like it did back in my prime, 35-55 years old. Hoping just to break 40 on the back. Shoot another 35, for a two under 70. I turn 70 in February and really didn't think about until days later. I was so excited I had a golf pulse, didn't realize I was that close, was just really excited I got in a zone and stayed there for 18 holes. Now I have a new challenge. Always read and hear these stories of shooting your age, but it never dawned on me because my game has pretty much in the dumpster the last decade. CSB.

Used to love 7-Up as a kid. I'm team sprite when drinking a soda, but 7-Up doesn't have that taste anymore.

“Ya Catching”
Daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cancer. By the time she got there, only experimental treatments were available other than the normal chemo and such. The treatments because of stage 4 were severe and she was on the fence a good bit. Nothing they could do, and sent her home and said she had maybe 3 months to live. She died two days later. Thank goodness because she was in some major pain. Love you Brooke.
Have a daughter (no pics) that could do it. She’s training for some kinda team challenge, Hydrox I think they call it. She won her age group in Houston at one event.
Newsweek still a thing. What about US News and World Report?
There’s been showers in that area all week blowing up. I believe that would be a concern before take off in case they had to make a detour around such storms. So they had enough fuel to get to Freeport?
Not that there’s a silver lining or not, by slamming head first saved lots of lives and destruction if had been more a horizontal crash in that area.
You have to grab one a break it while in the rapper. Then you'll know its fresh.
