Dodger Opening Day

The Dodgers started on the road, which doesn’t happen that often. So many Monday opening days. This one is special as it’s get your World Series ring day!

They raised the banner flag, and had a nice flyover.

Go Dodgers!

Go Dodgers!

It is Masters Sunday

No patrons, no grandstands, it is really weird watching the Masters this year.

Tiger is in a good position to win. Too bad it’s not going to happen his year.
Rory is 6 back

and watching Scheffler, it reminds me how much I hate the Padres.

Tiger just got thru playing #12. Last year everyone around him put it in the water, which opened the door for him to wear his fifth green jacket. He put two balls in the water off the tee, back trap, water, on green, 2 putt.

Dodgers Win theWorld Series! First since 1988!

The last time the Dodgers won a world series Jennifer was 4 years old. The Lakers won the World championship in 1988, and the Dodgers did also. Last night the Dodgers won the world series by beating the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1, in the 6th game of the world series.

An in an odd side note, in the 7th inning of the world series game, 3rd baseman Justin Turner was pulled from the game after his coronovirus test came back positive.

He celebrated on the field and took the team photograph without a mask, sitting front and center right next to the world series trophy.

I just hope he didn’t cough on it before a team mate kissed it.

Weird Night of Bowling

Was a weird night of bowling last night. I started with a spare, 5 in a row, open (missed 10 pin), and then 2 more in a row. I ended up with a 221 game. Could have easily been 250’s. Then I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. Weird how the oil pattern changes to just make you stink.

Lakers Win the NBA Championship!!

The Lakers won the 2020 NBA championship today with a 106-93 rout of the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. It was a unique accomplishment for this tightly knit group isolated for 95 consecutive days in Florida, playing a season that covered more than a calendar year because of the pandemic. Playing without fans.

If I could only bowl!

we started bowling league this month, and bowl on Tues and Wed nights.

We bowled at South Point and I had all strikes but left 3 open frames.

In the 2nd frame I missed the ONE (Head) pin, in the 6th frame I missed the FIVE pin, and in the 8th frame I missed a TEN pin (which is sometimes heard for me. But a 1 and a 5 pin, I should retire from bowling!

I still bowled a 202, but it should have been a 237 game.

Buffalo Run Match Play Champion for 2013!

I played in the Buffalo Run Men’s Club Match Play championship this year, which was a 64 bracket single elimination tournament. I started the year as a 16 handicap. You keep your starting handicap throughout the year. Well I have been playing golf since 1996 with the same irons and woods, Taylor made burner bubble.

I decided in May to get a new set of clubs and decided on the Taylor made 2.0 Irons. I didn’t hit the ball much farther, but did improve my accuracy considering how many swings those stiff shafted irons had gone through in 16 years. So my handicap started to go down as I was playing better.

For example, in the semi-final match, I was a 16, playing a 5 handicap player, and I shot an 82, and he shot a 74. With the strokes that he gave me, I beat him to go on to the finals, and ended up winning that round also. Last year, I played and lost in the first round,

I won the championship, and this lovely trophy!
