My Sunday group has been playing at a great pace. Two weeks ago we were a threesome and finished a par 71 course in 2 1/2 hours. We were first off. No one in front of us. It was only about 6300 yards. Everyone was playing pretty well. Damn that was great. Last Sunday we played a little longer course with all four present. 3 1/2 hours works for me as well.

      My Saturday group is slower. I enjoy these guys as well, but it's different game all together.They use mulligans (Sunday group doesn't) They are pretty liberal with the rules in general.  I tried to "enlighten " them a few times  without coming across too stodgy  but no luck. I guess I'll just enjoy the day and not rock the boat. I look at it as a practice round. They say "there's waiting in golf". I'm not impatient and bide my time while waiting for my shot however the faster pace is preferable

       Finally broke down and bought a new putter. Visited the local shops for days. Tried every putter I could lay my hands on. The Odyssey White Hot XG two ball is what came home with me. Now it's time to put it to work. Time to practice, practice, practice.

      It seems to be easier to find more affordable tee times now that the Super Bowl and FBR open are over.Brings a big old smile to my mug. Might even bring a tear or two. It won't be long before the baseball spring training crowd comes to town. We'll see if that affects the prices. Nothing against the courses. They're a business. Anyone know what a course costs to maintain? I don't have a clue. Can't be cheap.

      I have tee times for both Saturday and Sunday. Looks to be low seventies and sunny. The weekend can't get here fast enough.
