Last Saturday I took a sabatical from golf. Sherrill and I and the family went to New Braunfels area for the weekend. We ate at our favorite restaurand in the area, The Gristmill on the Guadalupe River. Unfortunately they have only fans and no A/C and we picked the hottest weekend. We still had a great time. We did tubing on the San Marcos river also.
The boys also had a great time on Saturday. Joel really was ON with an 81. Ed and Russell had 85's. Ed had 3 bridies but Russell was a bit bummed since he had just had a sparkling 76 a few days earlier. In reality, Russell is playing quite a bit better than his score dictates since he doesn't roll the ball like the rest of us; you know he plays REAL GOLF which can be quite a bit more challenging than just playing from the blues vs whites. If I really needed to pick someone to make a shot for all the marbles, I still think it's Russell. This week we are playing Champions Circle and I am hopeful to be able to join the boys. I start chemo and radiation and don't know how it will initially affect me, but I am planning to be there at 7:30.
Have a blessed week!

Well I have a mixed bag of news this posting. YEAH!! I sold my travel trailer for what I was asking. The trophy shop I was using for the engraving has folded. I found a new one in Keller and will be getting the traveling trophy enggraved with "The Obama Boys" on it very soon. I player at Sky Creek Ranch last Saturday with the guys. It was awful. The hip started hurting me on #5 and by the end I was swinging 1 handed but I got the round in. I then follolw that up with a round on Thursday morning at Hawks Creek with Tony B and the guys. I finally figured out how to stop overswinging. I finished 18 in relatively little pain and shot an 85, which is my best round in a LONG time. We are going to new Braunfels on Saturday as a family. Should be fun. I am looking forward to playing at Sugartree the following Saturday with the 3 amigos.
Russell got in around n oon on Thursday from one of his blow off business trips "I mean one of his very important and critical to the company trips". He went to Iron Horse around 1:00 and proceeded to shoot "lights out" with 3 birdies and a smooth 76. Of course there were no witnesses to this but based on his recent play, there is no doubt in my mind he was killing the course.

Well guys, I found out I am not coming down with alzheimer's. Now I almost wish I were.
I wound up in the emergency room and had brainsurgery. I have terminal braincancer and so my golfing future at this point is uncertain. The good news is that the more I finally realize my future was never really uncertain at all. I have had Jesus in my life for many years and have been blessed beyond measure and with a wonderful family and many great friends. The fruit of the spirit has surely been mine in my heart.
My son got a hardship transfer to Meacham Airport and will be living close to home now. Not that there is anything wrong with Lafayette Indianna, but it is so nice to have him close. Now both my boys are close by.
I have some of the best friends a man ever could have. Not just the joy class at church, but Ed, Russell, Joel, Dennis, Mark and Higgy. You guys are so special and God willing, there are a few rounds of golf left for us together. This week I need to get the trophy engraved with Joel and my name on it. Russell has suggested " The Obama boys" on it since he calls us two retired federal mployees that because we are on the government dole. Unfortunately, my wife will no longer allow the trophy in our home, so it will be in Joel's house or someone elses as long as the Obama inscription is on it. As Russell always says, the trophy is now truly tainted.
Russell is seeing Troy for lessons and I think it is really helping him. He is really kicking butt now and his game is really getting honed. I think the boys are playing my favorite this Saturday at Waterchase, so I cant wait to hear about it. I got the staples out of my head on Wednesday and will find out more about my golfing future. I actually like the shaved head look and ny wife thinks I am a handsome dude with it. I think I,ll leave it like this.
See you all soon
