Look at the people wiggling with glee! it's like a giant firework orgasm.
A funny thing happened the last few weeks about my golf swing. All of a sudden no one was telling me I was falling backwards on the tee. This could be a result of two things. Either I had corrected my golf swing and was now perfect . . . . . . OR . . . . I had gotten SO bad that all my normal friends just gave up.
I think they just gave up.
You see my swing is always evolving from one monster to the next. Whatever is working at the time, I just go with it. Hey - if I'm hitting 230 yard drives and falling on my ass - I'll go with it and take the abuse. Well - I WAS doing that but as what normally happens my perfectly ludicrous looking swing degenerates and goes away so I must invent another. All of a sudden I feel like a helicopter with all my pieces moving in the wrong direction AND getting poor results.
So last night I reeled it in again with a new improved swing and was ripping the ball.
ANYWAY - hole #15 at Door Creek is a par five and I ripped the ball down the middle for 220 yards. Then ripped the next shot down the middle for 200 and I had about 60 to go.
One of my lessons I took many years ago said when you have a clear path to the green and you are a typical 20ish handicap golfer, bump and run. Reasoning is that you will make less hideous bone headed mistakes. Course management.
I bumped and ran up to about 2 1/2 feet of the pin.

That's the closest I've ever come to an eagle. I did make the putt for a birdie. My last two rounds have been a 45 and a 46 now.
Maybe I'll get my buddies to start telling me my swing his horrible again and I can be comfortable.

The great drought of 2012. This is turning into a pretty record breaking year isn't it. Remember back in March with that awesome weather and we all kidded about "what if this continues into summer"?
IT IS!! Lake Michigan is 15 degrees warmer then last year at this time. Wisconsin has had only 41 severe weather alerts so far compared to 119 last year.
The grass? Everyone says it's dormant - warning - maybe not. Experts are now saying it's a wait and see. Yea - grass becomes dormant and can last maybe 60 days before the crown dies . . . . .well . . . . .we are teetering on the edge here. Dry winter, dry spring, dry summer . . . . we all could be looking at reseeding our lawns at some point.
I'm making two postcards for Lake Mills and one for Columbus. Sort in in a old postcard look - I even had script for lettering which they all seemed to have in the 70s.
And this one - I have not thought about what to pot on this one.
and I just got this one yesterday and will distrubute this week. You know me - I get in these moods and go with it for a while - sort of like my golf swing. This was actually taken the last time Columbus had rain, about six weeks ago.
Have a great Thursday - more EXTREME heat heading our way next week. upper 90s again!
Cheers
Rod
