87 today at Stone Creek. Good ball striking day so I feel good about it. Looong course for me so LOTS of bogies on VERY fast greens. Beautiful turf conditions. A treat to play on grass like this!

I forgot to post this the other day...
I shot the woodpecker that has been terrorizing my chimney for two years. RIP, pecker.

Well, c'mon UP then! When I'm in VA, anyway.
They seem to enjoy waking an entire neighborhood by hammering on a chimney cap. "Ours" moved to a neighbor's home about two years ago. Evidently, our chimney cap wasn't the right texture or taste. He's still aggravating when he attacks the neighbor's cap. One of my golf buddies complains every year about the woodpecker who attacks their chimney.
The story goes that a woodpecker in Texas was trying to peck holes in a utility pole. He just couldn't break through. Called his woodpecker cousin in Minnesota to fly down and help. The Minnesota woodpecker landed and his pecker immediately began boring holes in the utility pole. A few months later, the Minnesota woodpecker was unable to peck into an old oak tree. So, he hailed his Texas cousin for help. The Texas woodpecker flew up and had no trouble pecking into the oak tree. Moral: The further from home you get, the harder your pecker is.

Is it fair to say that they’re not the smartest member of the bird Family?

It would appear so. I would go out and chuck rocks at him every time he was pecking on my house and he'd just sit there and look at me as the rocks bounced right next to him. Then one day my son left his bb gun on the patio table...
It's low 30's here today and supposed to snow. I think we're pretty much done golfing up here for this year. 
We're probably done for a few days. Really cold the next few nights. Middle of next week, we will be back in the mid-50's and play more golf. Only one year I can remember, in the past 20, where we did not get some golf in during each of the 12 months.It's low 30's here today and supposed to snow.

83 today with a triple bogey on the card. Playing a bit better. Kinda hot and humid. Damn Florida Autumns!
2" of snow (more coming right now) and 24° F. No golf in the foreseeable future. Switched the snowblower around with the riding mower and changed the spark plug on it.

Cleared the 2" of snow on the driveway. Snowplow came by as I was finishing up and put a 6" deep band about two feet wide across the end of the driveway! Took care of that mess in two or three minutes. Got back into the house and the significant other asked if I was going to take my clubs down into the basement. I said I'd wait for another week before I'd do something that drastic! Holding out hope for a few rounds before all the courses close.
72 today on a beautiful par 64 executive course in Bellview, Fl, called Baseline Golf Course. I'll post some pics. this place is a darling layout!
