Has been a while since I have been able to get out and play golf.  Really missing it.  Unfortunately, the better half has had some medical problems and this has had me playing nursemaid.  Now not complaining (yes I am but shouldn’t) as you have to take the good with the bad.

Hope in another week to be able to sneak away and see if I can still hit them down the middle.  Should be interesting to find out.

On another note in surfing the web found a great story on the other side of Tiger Woods in The Daily News of Longview WA by columnist - Rick Woodson.  Made note of the human side of Tiger.  Check it out.

Just finished watching the end of the US Open.  Sitting here totally amazed at Phil Mickelson.  The only thing I can say is unbelievable or the stupidest course management I have ever seen.

I understand that taking chances and doing the impossible is Phil’s trademark but how do you give away the US Open.  Why not just play it safe for once all day when all you need is par.  Put the damn driver that you have not hit all day away and just keep the ball in play.

Montgomerie hit a bad shot and no doubt felt the pressure and that happens.  At least he was playing with cmmon sense and not trying to do what was not in his ability to do.

Congratulations though do go to Oglivy as he has one of the most consistent swings I have ever seen.  Boy what this Old Bald Guy would give to be able to swing half that consistently.

Well that is all as I still sit here shaking my head at the way that finished.  Definitely have no desire to play that course as if it does what it did to those guys would be afraid I couldn’t make it around in 150 let alone break 100.

Found this news story that shows hope for the future for golfers like me.

Most readers don’t know but this old bald guy has a type of arthritis called ankylosing spondolitis.  One of my worries is that I may end up in a wheel chair.  That would effectively put an end to my chasing of the little white ball hither and yon.

Then I found this news story and know that even if that happens there is hope.

This one course now has a handicap cart.  Check it out in this news story.  You can ride it and play right off of the cart.  Woo Hoo!!
