Most golfers keep score in relation to par. After today I’m going to use a different system: the number of golf balls found versus the number lost. One of the drawbacks to playing golf alone is that it’s hard to tell where my ball goes. Probably set a record for golf balls lost. Sometimes I can play nine holes with the same ball. Not today.
1. Lost three balls off the first tee, all right into the woods. Then later a fourth ball, also into the woods to the right. Hit a lot of balls on the first hole.
2. Found a ball after hitting my tee shot. Hit my approach onto the green, but missed the long par putt. And the bogey comebacker.
3. Lost ball in the high grass, down the hill to the right. Then hit my mulligan onto the green, and “parred” the hole.
4. Couldn’t find my first tee shot, that stayed right, then bounced right, probably into the bushes. Hit mulligan onto the green, hole high. Second straight “par”.
5. Hit two decent tee shots. “Bogey”.
6. After two good drives off the forward tee, I hit two good 5 iron shots. Couldn’t find either one. Hit a good chip onto the green. Found a ball when I looked in the cup.
7. Lost ball when my approach shot rolled off the green.
8. Skulled an approach shot that rolled off the back of the green, never to be found.
9. Lost a tee shot that stayed right, into the woods.
Final tally: 11 lost balls, less 2 found balls = 9. I hit enough shots to say I played 18 holes, meaning I lost a ball on every other hole. Sometimes I “have” to cut my workout short to get to work. Not this morning. Didn’t hit the golf ball well, and often hit two or three balls on all nine holes. Took my time.
Am I hearing that most of the covid vaccines guard against the variants that are already out – but not effective against the newer variants that keep coming out. Take vitamins B, C, D, and Zinc. When I’m in a crowd (like yesterday’s funeral) sometimes I will think about it. Doesn’t seem to be as big a deal as it used to be.
Several people asked about David Hurt at the funeral. On my drive back to the office I tried to call him, and left a message. Later we swapped text messages. Last night we received an invitation to a “stock the bar” shower for young Margaret Hurt and fiancé Matthew, down on Clifton Road near the Candler Park golf course. In September. Great – wine expert Haley will be judging what everyone brings. LOL.
Andy Stanley: “Beware the person who uses scare tactics to get you to help their cause, especially if that person stands to gain from your efforts. Jesus’ refusal to take sides in the culture wars of the day was not because he lacked opinions or conviction. He wasn’t afraid to take a stand. Jesus knew what we can’t seem to get our head’s around: when a church (or person) choses a side, as defined by a political party – they’ve sided against people on the other side. In that moment we elevate our potentially flawed views over other people”.
Six of the 14 new NFL alternate helmets are black. Real creative. Uni Watch gave them a D or F. They gave the Falcons an A for their new red throwback helmet.

Interview with the one NBA player who didn’t kneel during the national anthem. Wonder if they’ll drum him out of the league like they did Enes Kanter Freedom.
TRIS SPEAKER [SABR Bio] hit more doubles in the major leagues than anyone else ever has or likely, ever will - 792 doubles. It is just as likely that his record for outfield assists will stand the test of time - 449 career outfield assists. Babe Ruth called him, “…the finest defensive outfielder I ever saw.” Legendary sportswriter Grantland Rice called Speaker, “perfection on the field.”
Like a Chickfila, Wendys tore down the old franchise at Peachtree Parkway & Spaulding and rebuilt. The new store has much faster service. And evidently the sink to wash your hands is located OUTSIDE the restrooms. Now everyone will know who washes their hands, and who doesn't.
