Another week on the links for the Phoenix Crew with it's share of high drama. It's amazing how many pro golfers come out to these Metro courses. You can tell they're pros by just watching them on the tee box, taking their time, working every last detail out of their swing. It's a sight. Then their next shot from is usually from the woods or an adjacent fairway. Finally, when these pros reach the green, the time and energy they put into each putt is well worth admission. Enough sarcasm...

FYI - that eagle on hole number 6 would have been a 7 if the flag would have been pulled from the hole. I chipped from just off the green and this ball was a scorcher rolling down hill but the pin got in the way and knocked the ball straight down in the hole. And no, the pin was not lying on the green just past the hole (an old scramble trick).

Word of the day

co-erce:
1. to compel by force, intimidation, or authority, esp. without regard for individual desire or volition: They coerced him into signing the document.
2. to bring about through the use of force or other forms of compulsion; exact: to coerce obedience.
3. to dominate or control, esp. by exploiting fear, anxiety, etc.: The state is based on successfully coercing the individual.

Phoenix Golf - 6/13/07

I decided to change up the scenery a little this week and reserved a tee time at McCabe. MISTAKE!! Nothing against women being out of the kitchen and on a golf course, but come on!! I'd rather stand in line at the DMV than play behind that group of dikes w/ spikes again. Next week you can find us at Percy Warner.

Cubs vs. Braves

Here's some pictures from ESPN Sunday night baseball. Originally the game was scheduled for 12:00 est but was moved back to 8:00 on Sunday which makes for a long and tiresome Monday.

Some blackhawk helicopters and airborne rangers provided the pregame entertainment.

The game featured a bench clearing staring match after Edgar Renteria was hit by a pitch in the first inning. After everyone returned to their seats all was well and good. Next pitch, Renteria attempts to steal second base but instead of sliding he decides to clothesline the second baseman. All's well that ends well. Braves win 5-4.
