I didn't do as well on Frdiay but the party the night before may have had something to do with the smooth 101 I shot that day. Either that or the fact that one of my playing partners that day literally took 4 minutes over EVERY shot he took....and he took 12 shots on ONE hole alone. Yes, that meant that we were on that one hole for nearly an hour. I can understand some people taking vast amounts of turf outta the earth in an attempt to excavate their small white orb from the big blue planet upon which we all reside but c'mon, this guy got into the final round! That means that he HAD to have had a game for the past four days. I guess the pressure of the playing in the final round for the title "did him in"?
In any case, the turn that this thread took provides an oddly fitting segway as I typically give up golf after 8 straight days of play (includes practice rounds) as I've pretty much feel "played out" and I start thinking about snow skiing myself
In fact, just today I bought a new set of tires that will help me get up the hill better this winter in my huge beasty. Skiing is in fact what originally brought me to decide to buy my own hot tub.
Many years back when I was still in college, I took a church trip to Crested Butte, Colorado. They had a large indoor hot tub in the condos we rented but they also had these smaller ones out IN the grounds around the condo. We would plant our alcoholic beverage of choice (liberal church) about 6 inches into the snow bank. You have to realize that I am OLD so we could still drink legally at age 18 way back in those stone aged days. Those memories ALWAYS come back to me whenever it starts to snow even a dusting.
I would go on but I have four sets of skis I need to get off the garage wall and sharpen the edges and put a clean coat of wax on...OK, maybe it's still too early for that but I can go to my favorite skiing website (
