Not much to tell but here's the thumbnail.

Mid-50's gray haired guy who's been married to the same woman for 35 years, with two grown children and three grands.

Been golfing off and on since 1975 (age 20)

Own three sets of clubs -- a set of Hogan Apex blades (mid 70's vintage), a set of Ping i/3's, and a set of Pete Bridges "Cloners" (that are actually my favorites).

Other --

- Motorcyclist

- Truck guy

- Former Marine

Graduate of the U of A when Coach Conrad Rehling was at his peak and when a student who took golf for his PE credits could play all day at the U o A course for $2.50.

Onward...

A buddy of mine worked at Harry Pritchett Golf Course back when we were there in the early 1990s, and he used to talk about Coach Rehling  hanging around the course and giving all sorts of great tips.  That friend of mine became a PGA pro himself.

Roll Tide and welcome aboard.

Thanks for the greetings!

My apologies for the double post. When I clicked submit the computer hiccuped and I thought it did not take, so I clicked it again only to later find it double-took.

BTW, reading the sport section this morning Alabama Women's Golf has a shot at the national championship. I'll be interested in following that story.

Best to all,

Rick

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already.

      Could course committee have an MLR option to declare this bunker GUR?

      Water in Bunker

      Sorry, I will disagree. You got a penalty because you hit it somewhere and didn't want to play it from there. Bunkers are not the general area. If you had hit it into temporary water in the general area, you'd be entitled to relief. You hit it into a hazard, a bunker. Why should you get free relief when you hit it into a bunker? If someone else hit it into a different part of the bunker, without water, they'd not get a drop for free out of the bunker. Heck, it'd cost them two strokes if they didn't have an ACC and wanted to drop it out of the bunker.
