Friday: worked until 6 pm. Ceil fixed homemade pizza. Watched Elsbeth.
Saturday: teed off at 620 am. The rain had ended. Nice and cool. Candler Park was deserted. Hit 3 or 4 balls on each hole.
1. Two good drives, plus one that was just fair. Skidded several approach shots, and hit one over the green. One of my chips stuck on the fringe. Several good lag putts. "Bogey".
2. Two 6 irons faded left, then I hit a great shot a foot off the green. Two putt for "par".
3. Hooked several 8 irons left. Attempted several tough uphill chips. One stuck. Missed two 36 foot putts, then sank the third. “Par”.
4. Hooked two 6 irons left and one right, then hit a better one to the right fringe. Two putt for "par".
5. Same as the previous hole. Hit a great 6 iron onto the green. Two putt for "par".
6. Hit all four tee shots well, with my hybrid. Only hit one good fairway shot. Hit a few okay chips. Two putt for "bogey".
7. First drive faded right, but got a good roll. Second drive didn't go as far, but rolled up to the last tree. Then I crushed a drive even further. Then two 6 irons pulled left, but I crushed the third onto the green. Shot of the day. Three good lag putts. A rare "par".
8. Two good drives. Flubbed my approach shots. Chipped one onto the green. Good lags. "Bogey".
9. Okay 3 wood, second try went right, then I crushed perhaps my best drive ever on this hole. Had one good chip out of three. Two putt for "bogey".
After golf me and Ceil took Winnie on a 2-1/2 mile walk. Leftover Cue BBQ for lunch. I was able to watch some of the Fever vs Liberty. Saw where Kate Martin is getting into some games, and Aces star point guard Kelsey Plum had good things to say about her.
Saturday night we ate over at the Earhart’s house, with the Halls. Lee grilled Korean BBQ chicken. Salad, Brussels sprouts, Ceil made scalloped potatoes. Fruit, ice cream, cookies. Matthew made an appearance, picking up some golf clubs. He’s playing on Monday.
Drove to SC on Sunday. Got 41 mpg on the trip over. Visited at Rusty’s and Lennie’s. Drove to Pageland. While C was in Food Lion I was able to hit up Taco Bell and Dollar Tree, and gas up the car.
Working 7-3 today, then attend the 4 pm funeral. Ceil’s cousin Phil’s wife Teresa’s mother passed away. After tomorrow’s funeral we’ll drive back home, arriving late.
Last Thursday evening Anna & Caleb arrived from dinner out in Roswell to pick up Goose during the Young Sheldon series finale. Only then did I learn they are binge watching the show, so I couldn’t comment on what was happening. Article: tidbits from the final episode, including the complicated logistics to arrange Reba’s cameo.
At first Meg Ryan didn’t want to accept the role in “You’ve Got Mail” because she’d done so many romantic comedies. That and more behind the scenes details about “You’ve Got Mail”. I’ve probably posted this before.

DENISON: Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash Sunday in northwestern Iran. His death is likely to set off what the Atlantic is calling “a fierce scramble for power” in the Islamic nation.
Denison on Scottie Scheffler: Golf Digest has an in-depth account of what happened and what happens next; most observers seem to think this was a misunderstanding. According to the Wall Street Journal, other golfers at the scene “described a rare level of pandemonium.” One said of Scheffler’s arrest, “That could have been any one of us.” After he was booked and released, Scheffler stated, “There was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions.” One commentator observed: “Of all the things Scheffler could have said, you know what he didn’t say? He didn’t tell the officer, ‘Do you know who I am?’ He’s the world’s No. 1 golfer, but he didn’t try to use his status. That’s what I admire the most.”
