Oh my, how could I have forgotten Lady Bugs?  I may have to try to dig up my VHS copy of it.  And a VHS player.  Or rent it some night on Google Play if it's there.  Great recall!

Football: Water Boy

Baseball: Major League

Golf: Happy Gilmore or Caddyshack, both are great.

Auto Racing: Does Mad Max count?

And Field of Dreams is way up there for me too.  There have been times when I would've considered it my favorite.

    • Day 50: 1/30/2025 Back home again, today. Got to do some full speed swings hitting balls into the garage net.
    • Something just popped into my head, based on your mention of the folks who "know the rules" but are generally wrong.  Another comment I read was "the Rules ALWAYS said.....".  When I come across those I often go to  www.ruleshistory.com to see if the rules ever said that.  You can find every (almost?) version of the rules since the first set in 1744.  Its fun to return to the conversation and say "You're a little bit right, the rules said that at one time, but that changed in 1984.  You've been playing under the wrong rule for 40 years!"  
    • Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year.  I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people.  I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area.   Rick
