Sumtin is wrong with a guy who plays golf in 100 degree weather. He should be on the lake! (Glad you guys enjoyed it.) Problem is Minnesota lakes don't warm up to tolerable levels until June at best. It will be interesting to compare those transition months between Arizona and Minnesota. April and so far May in Arizona has been really nice this year. I in particular like the dry weather and few bugs. Were going to enjoy having two places to live. Back to Minnesota next weekend, I hope the weather is good.

If warm/dry air and warm water are priorities, MN is not the state to live in.

Subject: FW: New golf Rules
President Biden has recently appointed a Golf Czar and announced major rhoule changes in the game of golf that will become effective September 1, 2021. This is only a preview as the complete rule book (expect 2000 pages) is being written as we speak. Here are a few of the changes. Golfers with handicaps: - below 10 will have their green fees increased by 35%. - between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees. - above 18 will get a $20 check each time they play .. The term "gimmie" will be changed to "entitlement" and will be used as follows: - handicaps below 10, no entitlements. - handicaps from 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts .. - handicaps above 18, if your ball is on green, no need to putt, just pick it up .. These entitlements are intended to bring about fairness and, most importantly, equality (Wayne's word, equity, that is the new buzz word) in scoring. In addition, a Player will be limited to a maximum of one birdie or six pars in any given 18-hole round. Any excess must be given to those fellow players who have not yet scored a birdie or par. Only after all players have received a birdie or par from the player actually making the birdie or par, can that player begin to count his pars and birdies again. The current USGA handicap system will be used for the above purposes, but the term "net score" will be available only for scoring those players with handicaps of 18 and above. This is intended to "re-distribute" the success of winning by making sure that in every competition, the above 18 handicap players will post only "net score" against every other player's "gross score". These new Rules are intended to CHANGE the game of golf. Golf must be about Fairness. It should have nothing to do with ability, hard work, practice, and responsibility. This is "The Right Thing to do." The new rules eliminate the discriminatory word handicap and replace it with CTMPD (circumstances that make progress difficult). With these new rules...Many now can start to play golf, which they gave up years ago because it was so unfair to their abilities, and they chose not to work harder at it. Additionally, they also feel entitled to an annual hole in one. Oh, also they should get one of those free green jackets that they give out occasionally to a select few, rich, mostly men. Persons who do not play golf, will get reparations.

Hit my best ever round yesterday with a 79. Three birdies and some birdie juice to top off the day. Fun! .
