PGA Championship Police Blotter

 

Sounds like Scottie continues to follow in Tiger’s footsteps. Scheffler was arrested this morning, for disobeying police, trying to drive past an accident on the median of the highway. The second round has been delayed due to the fatal accident. Scheffler was able to be released quickly enough to make his tee time.      

Thursday lunch: the chicken bacon ranch fries from Arbys.  Just okay. More fries than chicken or bacon.

Friday lunch: Cue, the BBQ place up the street. Very good. Last month the vendor took us to Duluth Diner. They were sponsoring a hole at the Nucor charity golf tournament in Charleston. I’m trying to weasel my way into a spot in the tourney next year. This year one of the participants was Bill Murray, who owns the minor league baseball team in Charleston.

Bad news: despite being shorthanded due to all the extra work SAP requires us to do, one of our four team members was laid off yesterday – meaning we’ll have to do even more work. Many other departments added extra employees due to the increased SAP demands (who then walk around and and talk and sit around as if they don't have enough to do), but we’re still a person short from where we were before covid. I already can’t handle everything I need to get done to keep our large customer going, so more things will be falling through the cracks. So much extra work so our people can receive parts – the delays can cause parts to get lost. I just hope we don’t forget to order some oddball part that takes 6 months to make.

BOBO NEWSOM [SABR Bio] is the only pitcher besides Walter Johnson to win a season strikeout title for the Washington Senators. In a tie with Boston’s Tex Hughson, Newsom had 113 K. Johnson led the AL 12 times, including 8 in a row from 1912-19. Four times in a row Newsom led the majors in Games Started. In four different seasons, he led his league in pitching losses. Newsom led the majors in GS in 1936 with 38; in 1937 with 37; in 1938 with 40; and in 1939 with 37. He led the AL in losses in 1934 with 20; in 1935 with 18; in 1941 with 20; and in 1945 with 20. He is the only pitcher with a season of an ERA above 5.00 and a strikeout total above 225. In 1938 for the next-to-last place St. Louis Browns, Newsom struck out 226 and had an ERA of 5.08.

DENISON: Christ followers are facing increasing intolerance in the UK; an article in the Telegraph was headlined, “Britain is no country for Christians.” US Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. is warning that freedom of religion is “imperiled” in the US as well. Speaking at a commencement ceremony, he told the graduates: “When you venture out into the world, you may find yourself in a job or a community or a social setting when you will be pressured to endorse ideas you don’t believe or to abandon core beliefs. It will be up to you to stand firm.”
