About this blog

This is a blog about the rollercoaster ride that is my golf journey. My trials and tribulations. I might even use it occasionally, which is funny to think about considering how much of it I post in various topics anyway.

For the longest time I only wore flat caps (like Ben Hogan) to play golf. I kind of became known for it around here, I think. I retired my last flat cap last year and decided I wanted to collect the occasional golf hat from courses that I play as I get older and travel more as souvenirs. I never liked baseball caps as a kid because it made look like Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Thus, the name of the blog.

Ruminations Part 2

Day two of the four day tournament. Sunday, April 21, 2024. As luck would have it, my fellow competitor and cart partner during the qualifier was the 3rd seed, so we would play against each other in the first round. He is a very nice guy and we got along very well. I think that made it easier for both of us to play. It was his first tournament, and he was nervous, but he told me I helped him a lot by explaining rules and keeping the mood light by being the general assclown that I am. And th

Ruminations Part 1

First tournament win. It still sounds good. I realize that I've written about this tournament in various posts and topics but I kind of want to put it all together in one place. I have won the net division of the 2024 William Anderson Match Play Championship at Neshanic Valley Golf Course. That's probably the last time I'll type that sentence. It consisted of a single round stroke play qualifier in which the top eight players advance to match play. Four rounds spread between two weekends. There

    • Interesting thought.  Today I shot 77, I passed 69 when I got to 17 green.  A few weeks ago I shot 74 from the senior tees, made it through 17 complete before getting to my age.
    • This isn't something that I track. But I just took a look at the last round I played. I made it through 12 holes. At which time I had exactly my age. 
    • I wonder who has the record for most times shooting your age - I would think there can't be anyone younger than Bernhard Langer who has done it more than he has, but there might be some 85 year olds around who've done it quite a bit along the way.  For those of us not yet advanced enough in age for it to be even feasible, I think it could be fun to track how far through a round you've made it by the time you hit your current age's shot. So if you're 55 say, then how far through the round ha
    • I actually shot a score from the senior tees earlier this year just 5 strokes over my age!  But YOU just have to get back to playing. 
    • Can’t wait to hit 79 years old!
