Another weekend is in the books, so how was your? Come on – you can tell.
Quite the variety of things for us, which included a night of ballroom, an 11-mile tribute bike ride for the friend of many who was murdered in February, two successful handbell rings, and watching a simple movie (Bridesmaids) with my wife and a good bottle of wine.
It was also Masters (golf) weekend, so I tried to watch as much as possible because it’s always an enjoyable tournament. Golf fans are wonderful because no matter the golfer, these fans simply cheer great shots! Congratulations to Adam Scott for winning, and for bringing the first green jacket to the great golf nation of Australia!
A reminder to all the I hope to post Time: The Musical – Act 2 Wednesday night/Thursday with the theme being a specific time in the title. Act 1 provide great musical selections, so I’m hoping Act 2 will be equally successful … so get some songs ready.
Because this is week my golf league starts, let’s kickoff Monday with some humor at the expense of golfers … but Bulldog never saw any of this on his years on the course.

The Masters was clearly an Aussie year with Marc Leishman leading on Friday and Saturday, then it was Jason Day’s chance to shine with an -8 lead along with Angel Cabrera, and finally Adam Scott took it after missing so many putts! It seemed all deserving shared what seemed to be an unsurpassable -6 then it became -8, -7 lead at various times. Angel Cabrera’s -9 lead was amazing with son caddying. I hope they can bask in those awesome rounds, albeit perhaps not a win for them. Great golf and beautiful azaleas too. How do they get them to bloom on time? Brandt Snedeker gave it a wonderful run, too. It was a great weekend of golf at daughter’s house and me on the floor with grandbaby. Yep…drove up again with grandpa.

Georgette,
Wow … I’d say you watched golf this weekend! Cheers to you. Snedeker hit the skids on Sunday was a shame, but it happens. Meanwhile, Cabrera’s shot on 18 was off the charts!
About the azaleas. The grounds crew at Augusta has been known to slow down blooming with ice … and I’m not sure how they speed them up, but I’m sure they know how because to them, timing is everything.
Cheers to time with your grandbaby!

Well, I am not crazy about golf–but glad to hear you enjoyed the Masters. The video is hilarious!

One of the most remarkable things about the Masters Golf Tournament yesterday was how quickly Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera played the last few holes and the two holes of the sudden death playoff. Bobby Jones designed the Augusta National Golf Course to be played in 3 1/2 hours. I’m betting those two guys would have come close to that time if they had played an 18 hole playoff like is required in the U.S. Open.

Love the video …. the buggies … a friend damaged one of Augusta’s buggies … a couple of years ago, so there is so much truth in this video, loads of idiots on the greens all over the world.
