I almost killed my wife yesterday.
The Crime Scene - 13th Hole, Rhode Island Country Club
Event - Alternate shot Mixed Club Championship
Victim - The beautiful Cheryl Andreozzi
Villain - The not so beautiful David Andreozzi
Shot 1. - Cheryl has the tee. David asks if he can take a picture during Cheryl's back swing. Cheryl reluctantly concedes, and then proceeds to top her drive into the shit forty yards up. The short ride to the next shot was not very comfortable.
Shot 2. - David hit a 5 iron out of the rough, clean and straight... straight right heading into a hazard. It stops short in a clam shell cart path.
Shot 3. - Cheryl takes relief no closer to the hole, and hits a brilliant shot that skirts the left side of tree line and almost gets free.... until it catches some serious wood, and bounces directly backward into the middle of a forested jail.
Shot 4. - David is 175 yards from the center of the green and he sees an opening.... about 30 yards up. From the dirt, David decides he can put the ball in back of his stance, punch a 90% 4 iron in a low screaming fade and get this bad boy pin high. A Perry shot if you will. Problem number one is that unlike Greg Perry, I was not born with a horseshoe up my ass, and talent alone was not going to do it. I hit a clean rocket about 30 yards up (towards that little 6 foot wide opening I was referring to) and it hit a tree purely, and the ball rocketed back at the lovely Cheryl and literally smashed into our cart, directly into half open plexi window, heading directly at Cheryl bust. I mean her torso you pig, head high. Cheryl, still reeling from dropping the drive the duf off the tee and hitting the tree hit her breaking point. She proceeds to get out of the cart and her and Heidi Picc (a unfortunate nearby witness) begin laughing so hard the tears were flowing and legs were crossed. For me, not so good of a mood.
Shot 5. - Cheryl laid up while still laughing... quite a tallent.
Shot 6. - I didn't keep my head down and sculled the next over the green into a 6 foot high bunker.
Shot 7. - Cheryl moves the ball 36" closer to the hole, with her next shot, but still in the bunker.
Shot 8. - David gets it out, but it rolls down off the green.
Shot 9. - Cheryl gets it up
Shot 10. - David take the 6" gimme and runs off the green in shame.

I just got my ass kicked in the Member Member...
... so I am feeling like a shitty golfer again and ready to start posting more.
First off, a special thank you to Gerry Fogarty who invited me to spend three wonderful days with him. We actually played pretty well (well within our handicaps) but we ran into a couple of players that threw up rounds of their life on us. It started with Phil Lucus, a 19 handicap, throwing down a 39 against us on the first nine. A THIRTY NINE! Check out his scores on GHIN Good for him, a nice guy that was playing out of his mind, but put us down 6 or 7 out of the box.
Consider this... each score I posted during the tourney was used for my most recent GHIN UPDATE (meaning they were uses as my best scores of my last 20 rounds and Gerry played equally well) yet we came in last. URGH!
It was perfect weather, and the wine didn't suck either!
Thanks again Gerry!

How to replace a ball mark...
Nice video by our friends Tom & Kyle
Link Here
I heard a rumor that the next video will teach us how to fix a ball mark with no grass on the green.
