MSU down 2 to SF with less than 3 to play. Hubbard went down 2.5 minutes into the game.

In general you can get on most public courses as a single. I was skeptical when I went down to Pebble Beach to try it. When I went in the pro shop to inquire about a possible opening for a single, they asked me if I could be on the first tee in 10 minutes. I paid the fee (ouch), went to the tee, and was off and running. People make their reservations early, and something always comes up for several players during a typical day.

I taught an internet marketing class at Ole Miss one year. The number of good-looking girls in the class was ridiculous.

Hubbard had 4 in the first half and 21 in the 2nd half. State went on a 14-0 run to force OT, but they could have won easily with reasonable FT shooting.

My family only sounds strange because the names aren't American English.

In Denmark you dad is far and your mother is mor. Your mother's mom is mormor. Your mother's dad is morfar. Your dad's mom is farmor. Your dad's father is farfar. If you have a step something you use best in the name like bestmor or bestfar. In most cases the r is dropped at the end of far for grandfathers leaving morfa and farfa.

Red Dragon rangefinders are excellent and run about $70.

It is 918 holes. We have 15 championship courses with 18 or 27 holes each. We play the 27 hole courses in waves. Tee times run from 7:30 to 9:28 for morning rounds. Foursomes. If you start on A, you go to B for the back nine. The people that start on B go to C. The people that start on C go to A for the back nine. For example, I am at Evans Prairie tomorrow. I start on the Osprey 9 and turn to Egret. I won't play Killdeer. On Friday I am at Havana and will play Kenya and Hemingway. The afternoon wave starts just before noon. The courses with only 18 holes have straight tee times all day.

The rest of the holes are executive courses or pitch and putt courses. The executive courses are par 27 to 29. The pitch and putt courses are 9 holes under 100 yards. Very good for wedge practice to real greens. All of these courses are free for residents. There are 50 or so of these courses. There are 4 in my neighborhood.

I live in The Villages now, and we have 918 holes available. The original 18 is not great, but all of the newer ones are solid. I take a pass on all of the executive courses. They take a beating with sun up to sun down play.

The Woodlands opened last week, and it is the only championship track I haven't played yet. Lopez, Glenview, Southern Oaks, Palmer, Cane Garden, Havana, and Mallory Hills are my favorites. I can take my cart to all of them, and most have good restaurants for lunch afterwards. Prices are pretty good for members. I pay less than $50 per round. Lots of leagues and tourneys with high-quality golfers for competition as well. I love it.

I went down and watched them play on Thursday. Those girls are amazing. Linn Grant is leading the tournament going into the final round. She is averaging 302 off of the tee. Jennifer Kuocho is second and averaging 296. Julia Lopez Ramirez is the longest hitter on the LPGA. She won the SEC individual title twice on the same course, and she is back in the pack at 30th after a rough day one.

The talent on the tour is top notch. This was my first LPGA event in person, and I was super impressed.

10 TOs for state already. Not good

I went from Foot Joy to Sketchers a couple of years ago. Very comfortable, but they keep coming unglued on the toe. I went to the PGA Superstore to get Footjoys again, but I came home with a $70 pair of Adidas, and they are great shoes so far.
