Two of my hobbies I mentioned elsewhere in this thread go hand in glove, to a degree. Roses and photography. Peace taken a few weeks ago.

365 foot well I drilled last week.  Making 30-40 gallons per minute.

Hit the little local executive course yesterday morning to get in some short game practice. Only got 6 holes as the foot bridge between 1-6 and 7-9 was impassable due to water runoff, but still a good tune up of real world golf since getting a lesson 2 weeks ago and making some changes on the range. 

Hole 4 is usually a 66y par 3, a seemingly innocuous but truly diabolical hole... Tiny narrow green and everything feeds left down to a creek so you can't go long, and you can't go left. Tees back to a front pin, playing maybe 73-74 yards. 

Hit a little partial wedge, right at the pin... Ball hits about 3" long right of the pin, jumps <2 feet left, and gave me this for birdie. Almost jarred the sucker.

Part of my photography hobby: We have one or two cornbelt midwesterners on this website. I thought a few of you would enjoy a landscape of corn shocks rarely seen in these parts for more than 50-years in the cornbelt. One of my Amish acquaintances created this beautiful scene:

I am a golfer as well, my goal for this year was to break par on a 18 hole round, have not done it yet.  Made the trek to Scotland this year with 11 other lads and played all the big boys over there.  It was absolutely a fantastic experience, even holed out for an eagle rom 113 yards on #16 of the old course, definitely the highlight.  Even better is a buddy actually got video of my shot, so I have that video proof forever.

that's a goal!  Good luck!

I've never shot par for 18 on a real course.  Par 71 or 72

76 is the best I've done. Twice

I shot a solid 80 this afternoon.  Greens were punched so putting wasn't great.

Frist sport I quit officiating was Girls' fast pitch softball. Select Fastpitch is particularly bad as far as sportmanship.

I just noticed this thread and caught this tonight.

Would you mind elaborating on this?

I have a 9 year old daughter that just started playing fastpitch softball this spring with the cities in house league (it's her first time playing any kind of softball).  She ended up starting at 1st base and batting #5 in the order. 

Her in house coach also coaches the city clubs travel team and invited her to try out for the fall season.

She made the travel team (10U).  This is our first year doing anything like this, so I'm curious what I should expect.  First tournament is this Saturday!

And many cases of fisticuffs amongst parents!

I use to umpire Fast-Pitch Club Softball. One of the reason I quit was because of the Parents and/or coaches.  Each team was its own little fiefdom and no consequences for actions and little support from the tournament directors at that time.  Was worst than parents in pee wee football which is saying something. 

What to expect is long days and lots of people all over the place struggle to find out what field they are playing on.
