I almost forgot

The major tournament of the week was a 36 hole team tournament.  Brently and Spence vs. Justin and Papa Mike.  You try to tell who won.  A rematch has been called for. 

                               How 'bout this for a foursome?

                           We even had an official scorer, Di.

                                     Can you tell who lost?
    

                Brent was in shock.  He wishes he had an eraser.

Happy Halloween

The kids hard at work for Halloween.

I told you so

While in Montana a couple of weeks ago I spotted an unusual product.  I told my grandchildren, Justin and Spencer, about it and they wouldn't believe me.  I think my son Brent was on their side also.  Sooooooooo.... Here's the proof.

I haven't lost it

After not touching a golf club for over 3 years, I was invited to Tucson, AZ for an invitational tournament with the Blizzard Cup up for grabs.  It was only 18 holes but I was consistent and shot a 1 under with a bogey on the last hole.  The weather was ideal and I was in a groove.  My closest competitors were +4, +7 & +16.  Because I won this tournament, I was invited to participate in the final tournament of the year which will be held tomorrow.  It is a 36 hole tournament with the top 4 players from today invited into tomorrows tournament.  I am psyched.

Where have you been?

I took a ride late this afternoon and I saw an old friend of mine.  I have no idea where he has been but "Bullwinkle" was sauntering through the trees on his way to having a late dinner.  I think he had missed me also because he stood and looked at me for a long time.  

After seeing him, "Bambi" appeared and said hi also.

Great day in Montana

Ry and I went to get his elk meat today.  Ryan got a 750# bull elk the first week of bow season.  We rode around some of the mountain roads and came across some wildlife.  We got home and had homemade pasta with andouille (elk sausage) and watched the Red Sox game.  Not a bad day.

Doesn't get any better

I was in Denver and the "Rockies" doing some fishing with my buddy last week and now I'm in Bozeman, Montana with my son Ryan.  Ry and I did a float down the Madison on a beautiful warm day yesterday.  I hope to be in Libby, Montana later this week to do some more fishing with my fellow rotarian from Boquete, Panama.  What a country!
