Sherrill and I went out geocaching yesterday after golf.  My legs were toast, but we managed to find 5.  Most were fairly easy, but one was in some of the most dense thicket I've seen and I've got the scars to prove it!  We had a DNF in a park.  It was somewhere in a tree, but about 20 minutes of looking produced nothing. 

I played Texas Star again today with guys from church.  Much better than Monday.  I should have been in the 80's but ran out of gas and tripled 17 and 18 for a 95.  Still I was hitting the ball pretty well.  Steve VanOss shot an 81 with 3 doubles.  He is a machine.

Tiger is out after 1 round!  A
He hit a really bad drive on the 19th hole and had no chance to recover.  Things still don't look too good for Tiger.

Tonight we served at Ronald McDonald house.  Our Sunday School class provides dinner for the guests of RM house with dinner and dessert on the third Tuesday of each month.  It is really a blessing to do this for families that already have a lot on their minds.  They have therapy dogs that the kids can pet and play with.  Sherrill loves to spend a few minutes at the end petting the dogs as well.  These dogs have the sweetest disposition you will ever see.

I played Texas Star today as part of the ZFW Golf League.  It was massively windy today and I compounded this by not being able to get off the tee during most of the round.  Couple that with no rolling the ball and putting all the way in and you have a 105!!!  I don't think I'll have to worry about the payout for this tourney.  I'm nothing if not a glutton for punishment, so I'm going back on Wednesday for another round at the Star.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

DFW Geocachers Meeting

Yesterday the DFW Geocaching group met at the IHOP in Azle.  After breakfast and visiting, Sherill went with two of her friends, Raylene and Mary, to Eagle Mountain Lake.  They spend about 4 hours walking around the entire lake.  Sherrill found 10 caches, mostly camo'ed ammo cans, and she came home exhausted but with a nice "farmer's tan."

10th Tee Box

Today we played Split Rail in Aledo.  It was a bit windy, but a great day on the course.  As usual, it was a two horse race from the start, with Russell maintaining a two stroke lead after 9 holes.  Ed was hitting the ball pretty well today, and if not for a couple of bad holes, would have been in the thick of things.  It was a tough match right to the end, but Mr. Clutch, AKA Russell came through.  What can you say about his clutch putting and short game.  In practice before the round, he put about a dozen sand shots within 3 feet of the cup.  Joel needed to make birdie on the last hole, but alas, it didn't happen.  Russell won with an 82, and Joel had an 83.  Both guys played great golf.  I think Ed shot 90 and as usual, I finished up the field at a sparkling 99.  Next week it's Sugar Tree.

In Dubai, they don't expect you to expectorate

Tiger gets fined in Dubai for spitting.  I guess it's ok for camels but not golfers.  It was probably a poor decision to spit on the green.  Gee, I wonder what the fine would have been if Russell and Higgy had "shared a tree" like they did on the golf course here in Texas?
