Dayton, OH

[Jeremie Boop]

Strangely enough, when I moved to Texas for a couple years not too long ago I wasn't bothered by being away from my family.... Sometimes I think about that and it bothers me now that it didn't bother me then... Truth be told, though, most days I just work and go home anyway so I don't really see my family much outside of the holidays so that probably is a major reason.

I see family every day. Work for the family. Take care of certain things that I'm uniquely capable of. Leaving isn't an option. Not to sound whist-full about it. I've lived away and generally like it here. Winter tries my patience more than it used to, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Our family is actually driving us crazy. We moved back here when our daughter was born 18.5 years ago so that the kids could grow up seeing their family. Now it's time to blow this joint. Angie's Mom has landed herself back in the hospital on 1/4 after letting a diabetic ulcer get out of control. She had her leg amputated, and now won't do what the doctors are instructing her. She will be back in before long (she gets out tomorrow) to have her other foot amputated. The wife is at wits end and we never see my family much anyway. My daughter is settled in to school and my son is eager to move.  C'est La Vie Dayton!

 

p.s. - As much as it sounds like we are running away from our problems, this is really about finding a better opportunity. The job really sucks under the new ownership, and there just is nothing here.

With 16-20+ mph winds I'll probably have to pass.

That's today. Tomorrow should be more tame, at least down here.

I just looked before responding, dayton shows 16 mph and up here it shows 21. Of course if it changes I may have to reconsider.

That's typical for this time of year though, so I wouldn't consider it high.

Down to one day off per week and that day is tomorrow. Definitely going to play.

One thing. Eagle is a roaring bitch in any kind of wind. I'm thinking Community.

We were going to go to Homestead, but they are not opening until tomorrow. What time are you playing?

I could probably do 9 unless it's moving fast.

 Billy and I are teeing off now at sugar Isle.  I will catch you the next time 

[CarlSpackler]

Glad we tee'd off earlier. The crowd was behind us and we made it around in about 3.5 hours skipping the last 4holes. We would have made it faster if not for a really slow foursome that we caught up to.

Last time played in 2015 was 12/24 and first time out in 2016 was 2/20 making it less than a 2 month winter break. Not bad. Shot a 41 on the front with a double on the first hole. As I said, we skipped the last 4 holes, but I was 1 over for the 5 holes we played on the back (2 bogeys and and a birdie). Too bad I missed the eagle putt on 14. The greens and fairways were REALLY shaggy, but it was good to get out.

I've been out a few times over the winter, but it was like day one yesterday. Horrible. Couldn't hit a thing that wasn't on a tee.

Time to put Humpty back together again.

I went to my club fitting yesterday. I hit way too many golf balls. Today, even though it is nice out, is a day of rest now. 

Though from the GC2, my miss right now is a slight push. Which compared to my snap hook or big block slice is a big improvement for me. Just got to keep trudging along.

Who do you go to?

I've got a borrowed 3W that I've got to get out of my bag. Trying to decide how much money I can blow on it.
