Tuesday – left work at 515. My last day of free nacho fries at Taco Bell. Got home and went out to gas up Ceil’s car. Stopped by High Country in The Avenue East Cobb. Supper was a beef tip dish, which is never good.
Ceil was going to spend the night at W&MC’s, but messed around doing everything except getting ready and leaving. She was cleaning the kitchen when I would’ve done that. She didn’t leave until 9 pm, when it was dark. I took Winnie to the car. W&MC wanted to go to bed, since they had an early flight.
After she left I packed some items in my car. Was in bed by 10 pm.
Woke up 2 minutes before my 4:15 am alarm. Slept good – up till then. Made it to W&MC’s house at 5:20 am. Dropped them off at the international gate at 5:55 am.
Made it to Candler Park by 6:15. Had to wait for the sun to come up. There were two young Korean ladies there to play golf, snapping photos of each other. I teed off at 6:45. Since I had to leave space in my car for W&MC’s luggage, I didn’t bring my little pull cart, so I had to lug my big bag around for nine holes. Not good, with my sciatic pain making it hard to swing. Should’ve taken a pill.
1. Hit what I thought were two good drives. Saw my mulligan fly off toward the left side of the fairway, but never found either ball. Hit 2 approach shots left of the green. Two chips, one better than the other. Two putt. “Bogey”.
2. Must’ve topped one of my two 6 irons off the tee, but my first shot settled on the fringe. Two putt for a “par”.
3. Hit one good but left. Second into the right bushes. Then two flubs. Chipped down to the fringe, then chipped to 2 feet. “Bogey”.
4. Hit two tee shots left, plus a third low and short. Chipped 3 balls onto the green. Three putt. “Double”.
5. Hit one tee shot long but slightly left, that I would never find. Mulligan was low but rolled onto the green. Missed the first putt, but sank the mulligan for a “birdie”. As I was walking over to the 6th tee I noticed that I was missing the nice headcover for my 3 wood – even though I hadn’t used it the entire round. Strange.
6. The hybrid I hit off the tee felt good, but it must’ve drawn into the brush on the left. Tried to hit a hybrid off the fairway without success. Hit four approach shots, but only one made it close to the green. The sprinklers were blasting around the green, so I moved on. Give me a “bogey”. As I was headed off the hole I chatted with the greenskeeper.
7. Hit a good drive, most of the way up the hill. The greenskeeper was driving past, so I waved him down to tell him to look for my headcover. He went off like a man on a mission. I hit two fairway shots. Found the worm burner. Hit three approach shots: one left, one right, and a third that rolled off the back of the green. My lag putts were short. “Triple”.
8. Hit a decent drive. Didn’t see it, but found it down in the middle of the fairway. When I got to my ball the greenskeeper drove up – and handed me my headcover! I thanked him profusely, but had no money to tip him. I hit three approach shots – all three settled short of the green. Hit three good chips. Missed the first putt but sank my mulligan, for a “par”.
9. Hit what I thought was a good 3 wood off the tee, but found it halfway up the hill in the left rough. Flubbed one chip, rolled one to the front fringe, and one too low that rolled off the back of the green. Chipped close, but it took me four tries to sink the 5 foot putt. “Double”
Today I drove…
…from East Cobb to Mozely Park, then on down to the airport.
…up to Candler Park.
…up 85 north, 285 west, and Peachtree Industrial to work.
…retraced those steps down to Waffle House in Buckhead.
…up 400 to 285 east, to Peachtree Industrial to work.
…west to East Cobb, then 75 south back down to Mozely Park.
My high-tech coworker out an “air tag” in his wallet, so if he loses it, he can find it with his phone. Guess I need one of those. With my Apple Watch, I can hit a button and my phone beeps, so I can always find my phone. I got Ceil an Apple Watch, and she uses it to beep her phone.
What to do when you have one day in New York City. Not sure if this is the daughter of a high school classmate (who now lives near me in East Cobb).
One Day in New York City: Layover Itinerary (sarahbtravelin.com)
DENISON: the Paris Olympics were successful in large part because 45,000 police, 10,000 soldiers, and 22,000 private security guards protected the games from terrorists driven by jihadist ideology. The teenage terrorists who allegedly targeted as many as twenty thousand Taylor Swift fans in Austria were motivated by the same resurgent ISIS ideology now threatening the West. China’s autocratic leader, Xi Jinping, is enabling Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in order to vindicate Marxist doctrine. Israel’s jihadist opponents are motivated by an ideology that paints the Jewish state as the enemy of Islam.
