Be carefull with your new Bifocals

Bill is waiting to tee off for the start of his round when he sees Ralph just finishing his round.
Bill notices that Ralph is wet all over the front of his trousers. Curiosity gets the best of him, so Bill asks Ralph how he got so wet. Ralph tells the following story:

That day, Ralph had played golf for the first time with bifocals. All day long, he could see two sizes for everything. There was a big club and a little club; a big ball and a little ball; etc. Therefore, Ralph said that he hit the little ball with the big club and it went straight and long all day long.

On the green, he putted the little ball into the big cup. He said that he played the best golf of his life. Bill said, “I understand that, but how did you get all wet?”

“Well,” said Ralph, “when I got to the 16th, I had to urinate awfully bad. I went into the woods and unzipped my fly. When I looked down, there were two of them also; a big one and a little one. Well, I knew the big one wasn’t mine, so I put it back.”

Slow day on the links

After the intence competition that the golfers had to endure yesterday, some of the golfers were tired to play today.

It did not seem to bother Sid, Joyce, George and Richard, They were on with the game at 10:am.

Sid chipped in for a Birdie on # 5 and came in with the days best score with a 31.
Richard was just behind with a 32 and George and Joyce shot 39’s.

Arthur was out on the coarse as well as the Ruhlow’s, Nancy and Bill.
Don had to stay home and do chores ( washing the car)

The weather was nice and sunny, good for shorts and short sleeved shirts.

Senior Golf Friday Group at Cottonwood

The weather gods were smiling on the seniors golfers from the LaCopa League today as the sun was shining and the weather was just about warm.
14 golfers were ready to go at 10:00 a.m. and they picked tee out of a hat to see what teams they would be on for the day. there were two groups of 4 golfers and two groups of 3 golfers.

The golfers who picked the Red tees ( Ron Simpson, Doug Mazor and Sid Bina) were first off of # 1 and those who picked the White tees ( Judy Bess, Gerry Busch, Nancy Ruhlow and Don Riesberg) were second off #1.

Those with Blue tees (Joyce Foy, Gary Cook, Bill Stewart and Kieth Bess) started on # 9 and the Greens (George Coulson, Richard Lampi and Arther Barnett were the second group off of #9.

Each golfers scores were recorded individually and the best score on each hole was used for the team score and the bragging rights for the day. Today the bragging rights belonged to the Green team who came in with a even par score of 27. Thanks to George’s birdie on hole # 5, the only one scored today.

The golfers were happy with the weather and there were a lot of smiles about that.

Next week we are breaking out the dice and that is always fun.

the teams will be made up by picking tees again.

Each player will hit the ball off the tee , then the dice will be rolled and the number that comes up will be the shot used and each player will hit the ball from there. From there it will be best ball with each player hitting the ball.

If you are in a Foursome, each player will be assigned a number from 1 to 4, the #5 will be for the best Drive and the #6 will be the worst drive.

If you are playing in a threesome each player will be assiged two numbers and the same thing applies.

We will also be taking pictures of each team.

Heard a Chirp on hole 7

Golfing was a little bit better today as the weather warmed up to 53 degrees this afternoon.
Sid set the pace shooting a 31 on the Par three coarse at Cottonwood. He made a 20′ putt on the 95 yard 7th hole to register a Birdie, the only one recorded by the foursome of George, Don, Sid and Richard.
Richard came in with a 35, George a 38 and Don shot a 40.
The LaCopa group should be out in force on Friday Jan 16th as the forcast is for a little warm up has been forcast for the next few days.

Sun out on the golf caorse today

The sun made an appearance today and the golfers hit the links with big smiles and great hopes after many days with cloulds and cold temps.

After starting off with jackets and sweaters on the golfers soon took them off as it seemed so warm , the temp was at 58 degrees but it seem realy warm after the long spell of cold days.

the forcast for tomorrow is for sun in the morning, and a high of 66, Golfers from the other parks may even come out to play, they have been missing for most of the cold weather.

Only the hardy La Copa league braved the weather

There are two groups of golfers from the LaCopa inn and they are the Hardy ones and the little less Hardy ones.

Nine of the Hardiest ones braved the 45 degree temps and the cold wet mist that was falling to make sure that the reputation of the LaCopa league was kept intact.

They are veiwed by the group of volenteers who operate the Cottonwood golf coarse as the crazy northerers .

The nine golfers drew tees to make up the teams for the day, each golfer kept thier own score for the round, and the best score on each hole was recorded for the Team bragging rights for the day.

Kieth, Sid and Richard drew the red tees and were first off the tee. The whites were George, Judy and Ron.

The trio of Joyce, Don and Doug were the last off the first tee and were blessed with the most of the rain on the last few holes.
The bad weather they had to suffer through showed on their team score as they came in with a 34.

The Red team came in with a 30, and the White team shot a 29 and won the bragging rights for the day.

George had the only birdie of the day and he got that on hole #3, congrats to George and to Ron who had the lowest round of the day at 31, his first golf since he left here last year.

Congrats to the less hardy golfers as they had enough brains to stay inside and out of the rain but they did not have any fun.

Cottonwood Country Club and seniors from the LaCopa inn

Another nice warm sunny morning on the Cottonwood golf coarse, and the group from LaCopa took full advantage of the weather.
Don, George and Richard were out front with a treesome, Sid, Joyce and Art ( new to the group this year) were the second group off.
They were followed by Bill and Nancy with Howard and Dianne.
Bill and Jerry were also out on the coarse and looks like this group of hardy golfrs are using the coarse to the max.
Just how the other golfers scored is not known but Don shot a 38, george a 39 and Richard shot his best round of the season with a 31.
The only golfers missing were Kieth and Judy, Gary and Doug.

Afternoon Golf provides a couple of Birdies

After playing 9 holes this morning, and the weather warming up to pleasant temps with verry little wind, George, Sid and Richard hit the links for another nine holes.

George started off with a Birdie on the 110 yard Hole # 1 (his first of the this year) but the good feeling soon was gone as he had 5’s on the next two holes and ended up the round with a 38.

Richard played military golf off the tees all day, on # 6 he hit another ball in the water,( second one today) at the end, all the strokes added up to 38, the same as George.

After the 31 Sid shot this morning, he was full of hope, but the golf gods were not kind to him and he started off with 5’s on each of the first three holes.
Aflter that he settled down and played better and got his first birdie of this year on the 95 yard # 7.

He had the best score of the afternoon with a 37.unplayable lie

Cool Weather golfing in South Texas

golfing in the cold weather sometimes has it rewards. Today with the temperature in the low 50s (11 c) Sid had his best round of the year, shooting a 31 at Cottonwood, his score could have been better but he hung a couple of puts and the edge of the hole.

Don was not far behind with a 33 and after driving the ball into the water on hole # 6 he chipped in from off the green to score a 4 on that hole, his chipper was on fire today.

Richard salvaged a 36 with a couple of pars on the last two holes after hitting the water on # 6.
