Busted again: Weather Channel meteorologist is “leaning into the wind” in downtown New Orleans when a local strolls by and heckles him. He suddenly stands upright as the camera pans up to the buildings until the man leaves—then he pitches to Jim Cantore in Biloxi. 🤣

talk about how they enjoy the green speed (rolling at 10-10.5') and it shows in the number of putts being made. NOTE TO GREEN COMMITTEES AND COURSE OWNERS: Your greens don't have to be the fastest in town to be good. Give your supers a break!

Hey superintendents: What if your course had ZERO bunkers, but really interesting and fun shaping with grass bunkers, hollows, collection areas, etc to make golf fast, firm, and fun? After 25 yrs, I’ve finally found the client who wants to do it. More news after Christmas!

The pilot of the hijacked private plane from Tupelo is making his way closer to MEM airspace & rain moving in. At some point he’s going to get in the way of commercial aircraft arriving/departing there. He’s been around 1,000-1,500 ft. Someone is going to have to make a call…

Now I feel sorry for Paul Goodloe. Just before this, he was leaning a good 30°into the wind. Then somebody must yell “cut” in his earpiece, but he doesn’t know the camera is still rolling. He just stands up, checks his watch, and strolls off screen. Why do all this? To what end?

We had to say goodbye to Boudreaux today. Tough call to make. 17 yrs old (a good run for a dog) and the first 16.5 were pretty good. But Father Time had other plans. I’m sure he’ll find plenty of rays of sunshine to nap in & squirrels to chase over the rainbow bridge. Godspeed!

Have hazards that golfers play across & they need to know the yardage? I’ve not seen this before, but I love the idea: the Dye Course at Colleton River mounted rangefinder reflectors like you would screw onto a flagstick to a few lateral hazard stakes (
