Hi Alec,
Yep. Time to get the irons out and that is exactly what I did after my music lesson this morning. Played nine holes and hit the ball everywhere but where I was aiming (what's new?), but enjoyed the sun and the walk.
I feel as you do in that this has been a very interesting thread. Perhaps you will read my latest post on the other thread related to this topic and let me know your feelings regarding the initiation of other related topics (threads).
Thanks for the happy putting wishes. That was about the only part of my game that didn't backfire. Oh well. That's golf.
Take care.
Chuck
