About this blog
The occasional random golf-related thoughts pop into my head. The blog efforts of several other TST members has inspired me to give it a try again. No one should anticipate a cohesive series of blog entries. I go where the mental winds blow. 
The photo was taken at Carnoustie as I and my fellow golfers/caddies walk down the fairway. I am on the far left.

Big thumbs up @bkuehn1952. I think this is a key for the enjoyment of the game. Average leave after a tee shot on the PGA tour is 171 yards. Which would probably be an 8 or 7 iron.
