Golf 'til Hell Won't Have It...


Unfortunately, "Mulligans" are not on sale for the regular tournament. Mine sure came in handy during the Scramble however...

We now have two rounds of the Fall Classic under our belts and Alison continues to be red hot on the links. I'm betting she will remain at the top of the leaderboard in the women's flight. Dougie and me - not so much. Although I am probably still around even given my LARGE handicap. We'll check-out the leaderboards in the morning.


The whole crew. Mostly middle-aged Juneau folks having tons of fun in the sun. (click on picture for larger image)


Alison might want to consider forgoing that job at DHSS and go into golf course management. She's been tearing-up the course this week.


Last night we had a BBQ at the resort clubhouse and it was quite good. Definitely better than the groceries at the Spring tournament. I took lots of pics; but haven't downloaded them yet. On Monday we drove to Bend and had a great meal at a wine bar/restaurant called Marenda. It was Alison's and Doug's anniversary.


Laura and her check-in crew. The whole tournament has gone like clockwork. Way to go Laura!

Although it's been quite toasty (87 at the moment), all the Juneauites and fellow travelers are quite contented. I have yet to hear anyone pining for the 50 degree temperatures and rain back home. Certainly not me. I have put shorts on every morning since I left Juneau and would be quite content to continue this practice for the foreseeable future. At least for one more week!

This evening we'll stop at Laura's Happy Hour and then motor on over to Sisters for dinner at a great French restaurant called Jenn's Garden. We ate there in the Spring of 2007 and it was fabulous. I see a Pinot Noir wine flight in my future...



My Scramble day team. I was most definitely low man on this particular totem pole.

In other news, I note that we (citizens of these United States) have just acquired a large insurance company. We're amassing quite the investment portfolio. Doubt if there have been so many nationalizations of financial institutions in decades. Who would have thought it? George W. Bush - our first socialist President.

Later kids...
