Better late than never...
Nice recap Dougie Fresh. Great to have the company, and good golf too. Glad to see the golf spirit is alive and well in this group. No doubt about it; I'm gonna play more golf here. But its getting a little chilly now- last round was 45 degrees with wind chill of high 30's- burrr. And that Texas wind... gonna have to learn how to hit it low!

Elwood says:
What does the weekend right after New Years look like for everyone.... the 2nd-3rd-4th. Blake -- I'll give ya a shout to talk about.

blakester says:
When's a good time for anyone involved? I'm pretty open.

crisb says:
Blake ... doooii. Get up here, you big lug. We'll have fun. Lots of kick-ass courses and good guys to hang with.

Tommy - sick round.

Elwood says:
Not sure where the f**** that 73 came from. Pretty average front nine turned into a 34 with 4 birdie back nine. Actually had 2 other birdie putts inside 8'. Perfect scoring conditions... but still not what I was expecting.

blakester says:
No-cal for a holiday visit..... sounds cool- can I go?!

crisb says:
Yeah ... tough day for all of us. Tough course, but mostly bad play. Let's do it ... come on up. Will be sweet!

Elwood says:
Cris/Shawn -- glad to see some scores more like we'd expect for the "offseason"... our leaderboard was starting to look kinda scary for a while..... maybe hook up some No.Cal golf around the holidays.

Gotta love the off season in the BIG D!

Watched JK re-live the Reider final round. He went out in a non-dazzling 7 over 43 to my mediocre 39. Then warmed it up to have a 9 footer on 18 for a 34 - one under - coming in. It was not to be, but a lovely 9 holes of par (2 birdies, 2 bogeys). I continued my average play to tie the wunderkind at 78.

A fun course with a nice breeze moving all day. Great greens rolling about an 11-12 on the stimp.

Thanks for the fun morning JK!

Elwood says:
Gotta love our off season.... Blake and I surfed Trestles all morning then both went out and shot 77's.

Elwood says:
didn't really think about that.... it was a bone sober round, not even 1 beer. They were doing maintenance on course.. but really not too bad other than sprinklers. since greens were punched like 2 weeks ago. On back 9 at 5PM I didn't see one other person on course... surreal thinking the US open was there 3 months prior. Guess everyone was home watching there net worth nose dive.

dougmeads says:
Tommy, nice round. Cris is right though, how many beers and joints, and how much sleep the night before?

Either way, sounds like you got game, and Cris is in for a good match with you.

Mesquite awaits!

crisb says:
Tom - Nice round at Torrey. How many beers/joints? Hope you were simulating game time conditions or else the round is irrelevant.
