Found the Scorecard!

9-18-10

   I found that scorecard! So, I am going to go into the details a little bit.  First, though, this is how it worked.  If a player got one of these things on a hole: a fairway, a green in regulation, a par (or a better score), or a win, he had a chance to start a chain of points going.  If that player did the same thing on the next hole, the points doubled, and one point was how each accomplishment started.  So, if a player hit the fairway five times in a row, he would have earned sixteen points, and that did not include any points for any of the other things I mentioned.

   This game was close up until hole #16 when I missed the green.  On the front nine, I was ahead with a score of 22.  Bruce had 19 and C.J. had a rough starting nine shooting a 53 and earning only 2 points.  I was doing a fine job of hitting greens in regulation on the first three holes, and my birdie on #9 gave me four more points to keep ahead of Bruce.  I shot a 41, one of my best nine holes of this season, and Bruce shot a 44.

The Unpublished Article on Hunter's Run

You can read it here first... and last!  This is the article that will never be published (I am pretty sure I can say the word never in this case) in Four Corners Golf Magazine.  D.K. thought it sounded too "bloggy" (my word), and she was disappointed that Bob would not cooperate in order for me to get a more informational article.  She will pay me a "kill fee" (her words) for my time and trouble, and she plans to give me a much better writing assignment for next time, but this one ended up on the "cutting room floor", so I am posting it here.

As I reread it, I agreed.  It's better suited here on my blog...

Qwest Frustrations and Thousand Foot Krutch Fun

I apologize again that this post is dated earlier, but now that school has started, I've been busy.  This post gives another reason for a delay in posts, too.

   I can’t believe it’s Labor Day, and we still do not have the new internet.  I am disappointed with Qwest.  We called beforehand to make sure the transition would be quick and easy, but alas, it was of no use.  I was told that getting a cancellation number from Earthlink would really help speed up the process.  It didn’t.  I don’t even remember what the excuses were this time, but we won’t have internet now until maybe tomorrow, or probably Wednesday. 

   I’ve been okay with it except for the blog.

Zen Again, Earthlink, and a New Article and Golf Are Coming Soon

I know the date for this piece is from last month, but I forgot I had written it, and I think it's an important post.  It talks about Zen (probably for the last time), and it mentions my new scooter. I apologize for the messy chronological order.

   I have three media going right now, and we don’t even have any internet.  I am watching P.O.V. on KNME, writing on the laptop, and listening to my iPod Touch. 

   I hate to keep writing about it, but grief is a strange and unpredictable thing.  I still miss Zen.  The show I’m watching reminded me of him again.  The lady who is narrating and who made the film I’m watching had a strange dream about her horse George.  It happened on a night when the electricity went out.

Two Birdies: One at Hidden Valley and One at Hunter's Run

9-12-10

   I just submitted my article about Hunter’s Run to D.K.  I like it, but I worry about offending anybody, particularly Bob, the owner there.  I know he did not want an article, so I hope he reads it and likes it. 

   I did not play well after hole #4, but I had a great time, and knowing how low-key it is there made for an even more enjoyable experience.  He let me play for free for crying out loud.  Nobody does that.  I did go get some cash to pay him after my round was over.  I think the attitude there is...

Coming Back Soon

We got our newer internet speed today!  Soon I will be posting something from home again.  Can't wait!  I have quite a bit to share.
