Happy Valentine's Day

Today's the day, men.  Don't forget to treat your sweetie extra special and let her know that she is your Valentine.  To my one and only, Happy Valentine's day, Honey!

Geocaching

Yesterday we were 1 for 3 on Geocaches.  We looked (and got scratched by pretty big stickers) but could not find the first 2.  After spending about 20 minutes searching for the last one, we finally found it.  It was really in an inventive location.

We stopped a few days ago in Trophy Club looking for some caches and we had Kendall with us.  He thinks we are senile for doing geocaching and get's embarrassed if anyone sees us looking.  Oh well.

We played Iron Horse today.  Tee time was 8:00, but we didn't tee off until 9:30 due to frost.  It turned out to be a great day!  Here's Russell with his "Ian Poulter" hat.  Today "Ian" couldn't miss a putt.  He sank a 40 foot snake on #7 for birdie and shot an 83.  The only bright spot for me was a birdie on #17, but alas I finished last with a 97.
Joel is getting ready to hit his drive off the 13th tee.  It wound up down the middle and in great shape for his 2nd shot.

It's not Central Park in NY, it's deck 5 of  "The Oasis of the Seas."  It is really like being in a park with numerous nice restaurants and shops.  There are park benches and tables throughout the area, and it's a great place to sit and relax with a cup of coffee.

Looks like we dodged a bullet today in Fort Worth.  We had just a trace of snow and the roads remained pretty good.  The best news is the weekend temps with 60 degrees on Saturday and 70 on Sunday.  The 4 Amigos are playing Iron Horse Saturday and it should be a great day!

A friend mentioned that dormant Bermuda subjected to more than 3 days of below freezing temperatures is subject to being killed.  If this is so, it won't bode well for golf courses here in the Spring and Summer.  I'm going to look into this a bit deeper.

We're back from our cruise.  WOW, what a ship! The weather was perfect (sorry about the storm here).  We spent three days on Key West after the cruise and it was great too.  While on St. Thomas, I played Mahogany Run Golf course.  It was really tough.  Thirteen thru fifteen is called the Devil's Triangle.  They give you a prize if you can complete this three hole stretch without a penalty.  The day before the prize was a Mercedes; the day after was a Jaguar, but on this day, the prize was the highly sought after aerial photo of the three holes.  I played the triangle in +6 and finished with 102.  Yikes.
