I took a half day today to play 18.  It was drizzling on the way to the course.  I took a side road through a residential area and I saw this lady, carrying a baby also holding a dog on a leash.  She flagged me down.  She was very distraught and said, almost in tears, "be careful not to hit my other dog down the street.  He got out and I have been chasing him for a hour."

I said, "OK" and proceeded to drive slowly until I came even with the dog.  It was a little Yorkie.  I stopped, opened my door and said, "come here fella" and did my best to get him to come over.  He did.  I scooped him up.  The little guy was soaked and shivering.

I walked him back to the lady.  She had been chasing him for an hour carrying her child in the rain.  She is also five months pregnant.  She had a small kitchen fire in the toaster oven and opened to door to let the smoke out when the Yorkie took off.

I carried the dog back to her house.  She was grateful but exhausted.

Then I went to the course and proceeded to have my best round of the year, and 80.  The course was empty except for a few groups.  I did 18 in 2:30 (I caught up with a few twosomes at the end).  Good day all around.  Three birdies.

Of course I had to explain why I smelled like a Yorkie to my beagle, Skippy when I got home.

Nice story. I can only imagine her telling someone how lucky she was that some nice man happened to come by at the right time... a bright spot in an otherwise crappy day for her. You probably made her day.

    • Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
