Invited Shingdig out for a bit of golf today at my place. We both had some bad shots, and some really good shots. Shindig chipped to save some strokes, and made a nice birdie late in the day. I struck the ball nicely and gave myself some good looks at birdie. Only managed to convert one... bleh. The weather couldn't have been any better. No smog in the air. All around a fun afternoon.

You guys didn't even tell me you were playing...

Was that the first time you guys had met?

I am still yet to play with anyone I've met on the Sandtrap, but would welcome the opportunity to play with people I don't know, especially since I just moved here.

Funny thing... before I began law school I talked to a few guys on a DB that were thinking of attending the same school... long story short... of the five of us, three of us are still pretty good friends, one dropped out first year, one never came to our school... point is... it's wierd how you can meet people with similar interests today.

That was a great afternoon. We both finished birdie-par. But wow, the weather was perfect as was the course.

Ben and I met at the L.A. Open, but this is the first time we've played golf together.

Are you out in L.A. now? How long have you been here? Where do you play? I'd be happy to meet up to play. There can be future afternoons of golf with Shindig, especially once October starts up and I'm back on my school schedule.

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

No... I was only joking, but would welcome the chance to play a round with some fellow Sandtrappers. I am here in North Carolina just NE of Charlotte, and I am usually in SE Michigan and NW Ohio a few times a year. If I ever do go out to Cali, maybe I'll come play Ben's course... if I can get on. Anyway... sounds like a good day of golf you guys had... it is always nice to finish the round strong.

Let us know when you're out here.

If you can't get on Ben's course, you can get on mine (public courses).

There are some good colleges out this way, if you find yourself going to school here.

i'm hurt that I wasn't invited.

I've been meaning to get back to El Dorado Park... maybe some weekend.

look on the bright side... you're one of the few who can have a tee time at 9:00 PM and still get in 18. I have seen another Alaskan lurking around, unless of course it was you with a different avatar.
