just tell her it's a halo

congrats on the win.

Talking to some of the AMIII's that qualified for for AMIV I know for sure that they will be playing AMIV at upcoming tournaments, so the field will definitely be tougher for the upcoming tournaments!

I remembered to bring sunblock on sunday after seeing the wife & kids get pinkified on saturday during a bike ride.

That was my first time playing that course and it was a lot of fun. You could really tell how much work had been put into everything to get the course ready for that many people and it was very appreciated. I will definitely be making some trips up there for some casual rounds!

Even though I wasn't there I know some people did a lot of work on the course including spreading wood chips to make the muddy areas playable. Thanks for all everyone did to make the course in such great playing shape!

Sorry I ran out of so much stuff.  I'd forgotten how much merch we go through at an IOS.  And I could have brought more Blowflies if I had listened to Kiralyn.  I did not realize there was a pent up demand for Blowflies.  She said, "Bring the back-up DGA," and she was right.

I'm reordering lots of Innova and a little Discraft.  I'm also getting some of those Raging Inferno DTs.  Quite frankly, I think a lot of things Quest has come out with have been gimmicky, but the Raging Inferno DT is the real deal.  I don't know if it is the dimples or the dome but that thing can fly.  Also, their center weighted putter is really straight.  If I have any of those left, I want to play around with that for a bit and see if it beats a soft Magnet for short putts. 

Diana and Becky did an amazing job running the show in Jon's absence.  So much stuff has to get done while everyone is playing, and they got it done!

What a great weekend!  Now I remember why I was so upset when winter came.     Thanks for everything, Bruce and co.!  See you all at Lombard.

I second that motion! Thanks for having my back! Maybe since they've proved themselves so well I can take the afternoon of the upper day for picture taking...or maybe follow Marie's suggestion and just not show up at all anymore!  I'm hoping she's just joking because I plan to be at the rest of the events this year.

I think Diana and I did well because we are part of a team....we did more than we usually do but we had seen it done before. It was fun

If you want to take pics in the afternoon, Jon....go ahead. We'll hold down the fort

Pictures would be very cool! I always enjoy seeing photographers on the course. Speaking of your photos, any update on the Channahon photos from last fall's tourney?

It's on my list of things to do. I just have to upload them so it is kind of lame that I haven't done it yet. I thought about doing it Saturday after Maddisen and I got the first round scores up but I fell asleep instead!

I'm just teasing...or am I?    BTW, Ben and I practiced MarioKart in the off-season. He really wants that trophy.
