PUTTING SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE THIS CHALLENGING

From many personal experiences, we all know that aerifying our greens is crucial to keeping them healthy. Instead of punching them once in the fall...you punch them three times....will they be three times as healthy??? We can only hope so. The old adage fits well here....if you wish in one hand and shit in the other......which one fills up faster?? Normal golf maintenance practices call for preparing the course for play early in the day so that everything is ready for your entire 18 holes. I.E. each green is mowed, rolled etc for your round. Yesterday was quite the roller coaster on our greens. In addition to aeration, with some greens having more or less top dressing than the others...we decided it was a great idea to mow some of the greens mid afternoon, then roll some of the greens as well. With the exception of you few Old Timers that have putting challenges on a regular basis.....it was certainly a challenging day trying to figure out the greens. Those who did so, we congratulate you. Enough of my rambling....and I am not under the influence of any alcholic fluids. Now back to yesterday's results. Before that, I must digress...one of our fellow Old Timer's suggested the my earlier posting of the female tennis player was actually a male tennis player. Please scroll down and closely examine the picture and decide for yourself.. 12 of us showed up yesterday, with only two of you being positive for the day, meaning 10 of us were not. Dave D, and Dennis K led Mike and Tom to victories on the front +3, and total -1. Charlies V and J, Rich and Dave A won the back +1. Dennis wins the front +4 and takes 2nd total +1. Bob is 2nd on the front +3, Bill and Rich tie 3rd. Charlie V, Dave A, and Ton all tie on the back +1. With his continued steady play Dave D wins total +2. Tom Dunlavy -1 to 23. Terry Moosmann -1 to 29.
