The Links Lounge (*** NO POLITICS/RELIGION/LIV ***)

[Triple Lindy]

After the Stars held off a Penguins power play for the final 2 minutes, securing 2 points and re-taking 1st in the Central, I was spent. Watched Zags-Bruins highlights this morning on YT. Great game and pivotal in shaping the Lounge bracket!

Good Friday morning!

Do my remaining teams lose tonight or tomorrow?  Honestly not watching.

 

You want to tell us about the Upcoming Masters contest NJBF? It is not that far off now. It's the ongoing Majors contest in the Lounge boys, Part 2.

Gonzaga got lucky. 

 

I didn't see the basketball hit a tree and bounce back onto the court. I didn't see the basketball skip across the pond and end up on dry hardwood. I didn't see the basketball ricochet out of a sand trap onto a fluffy lie. I did see a lot of holes-in-one.

[TiScape]

With my Bruins out, I’m focusing my rooting “powers” on the last remaining CA team… Long shot for sure, but let’s see what the boys from Suds U can do!!

Well, I’m officially an old man lightweight.

 

Used to be able to drink margaritas all night, go to work, eat a bacon 🥓 sandwich, then do it all again!

 

Last night, we went out early bird 5pm, had 2 drinks and a freakin awesome 🍔,

 

And fell asleep at 11 🤣

The older we get the more we used to be able to do. What’s nice is my desire to do the nonsense I used to do has also diminished, so kinda works out  😊

It’s remarkable the abuse you can put your body through in your 20s!

 

Best was….we go out for happy hour at this place, El Rio Grande, huge outdoor happy hour on 3rd Ave, we got so blasted this one guy left to go home and went to Grand Central and got a train to Connecticut 

 

But he was supposed to go to Penn Station and get a train to Long Island 🤣

I went to bed at 2am and woke up at 9:30am and didn’t wake up once. Being the “young buck”  (beside ChipStrokes of course) @ 50yo makes the lounge the best! Haha 😆 

 

But like all old guys say… “you just wait.” 😜

Yes I was wrong.  Thanks for the correction MIA.

 

Here's one from 1973. 

 

 

 

[NCLancer]

 

 

 

 

Mrs NCL and I walked 18 at Hillandale in Durham, NC on Wed 3-22. 60 degrees at 1pm tee off, cloudy, windy, spitting rain from holes 2 thru 14. Cleared later but winds picked up. Shot a 51/46 = 97 from mixed tees (about 5600 yards). 39 (!) putts, hit 12 of 14 fairways, 2 penalty strokes for errant shots (1 lost ball).

Nike putter is now in the starting lineup replacing the TM.  Must be the putter, it can't be me!

Reminds me of the lyrics from Who Are You

 

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

Congrats on another fine day of hitting it in the short grass NCL. 12 of 14 off the tee is solid.

Do you want me to replace the TM with the Nike on the WITB putter list or is this a temporary dance with a different putter?

Sounded a little wet out there. Good to hear you guys were troopers and played on.  Any remarkable shots by T Money during her round?

 

 

 

 

 

Were you glad Tennessee went down last night?

Wow, now where's the sunscreen?

T$ hit 13 of 14 fairways and shot a 105, her PB at Hillandale.  No 8's, a few 7's and only 1 bad hole.  Hit the green on the Par 3 4th but in the wrong quadrant and then 5 putted the undulating green!  Flushed the bad memory quickly though as she played the next 3 holes 3 over.  

 

I did not appreciate Tennessee's style of play against the Blue Devils so I was rooting for the upset!  FAU!  FAU! 

 

Please keep the TM on the list.  I'm just hoping for some temporary magic!
