So a few months ago it was all over the news how there was a shortage of honey bees. But I have to deal with the great honey bee uprising every weekend on the course. Forget about canned drinks, especially Sprite.

Today at the turn, my cart got swarmed by some 30 or 40 bees. It was so bad that we had to blast my cart 5 times with Raid before I could make the turn with my eyes and throat burning from the fumes. I live in East Tennessee. Are any other parts of the country dealing with the great honey bee uprising?

No, not quite. But the last time I went golfing I walked, and was stung by a bee.
It must have been the first time I've been stung in atleast 3 years. I was waiting for more to come out after me because I was just walking along the fairway after my drive. I thought that there may have been a nest of them there. I never even seen the thing.

Sure it was honey bees and not those little sweat bees that can be so bothersome?

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
