Just have me come out to Kansas City and they can rub on me for good luck!


I played golf today for the first time in 2 months because of the ^&^%%$#* Ohio winter and had THREE pars and A BIRDIE for a 42 on the Sunny Hills golf course a few miles from my Tallmadge, Ohio home. It's a regular course, too. No windmills or clown faces to putt through.


Not bad for an 88-year-old with a Pacemaker, huh? I know, I can't believe it either.


My golfing average last year, with about 130 rounds, was 45. I guess 10 years of being a caddy at Fairmont Field Club and listening to the pros instruct the rich Fairmont golfers is paying off.


I'll be playing the same course again tomorrow so I have 24 hours of Golf Heaven till I plummet to reality and earth. But, for now, it feels like watching WVU beat Oklahoma State, Baylor and Kansas to win the Big 12 tournament ... please, God, make it happen!

I know the course you're referring to. I've done quite a bit of business with the company across the street, Hess Print Solutions on Sunnybrook Road (Brimfield). I've also played the course a few times. They have 27 holes there, with one nine hole section called the 'Short Nine'. Is that the nine you played? Nothing wrong with shooting a 42 even on that nine, especially at 88 years old.

What is the percentage difference between a 2 and 3 seed?

In terms of making the Final 4.

I don't think WVU will fall to a 4 seed.

Is playing 3 games for a 2 seed that beneficial for WVU.

Texas Tech and OU are really the teams to watch out for

Because there is a huge difference in their seeding now and if they win the Big 12.

Ultimately I think Huggins wants to see that intensity needed for Tournament basketball.

Played the back 9. #1 tee and back 9 first tee are separated by the starter shack. We are in seniors league so we play alternate between front 9 and back 9. Never played the short 9. Front 9 has SIX holes where you have to shoot over water or at least a ditch on your drive. Tough 9. My average in our other seniors league, at Brookledge in Cuyahoga Falls, is 3 strokes lower each year than at Sunny Hill. So I was thrilled to have 3 pars and 1 birdie my first time out in 2021. Don't know what I was doing wrong. I'll play tomorrow, again at Sunny Hill, and probably find out. My partner, Paula's brother, and I are in seniors leagues at Sunny Hill and Brookledge, where we won the championship in 2020.

And yes, being the analytical mathematical nut that I am, I keep track of every golf score every year, including subdividing it into my average for the year on every course I play that year. Nuts? Of course. But I just can't help myself.

Might have asked you this before, but have you ever heard of Paul Brownlee of Tallmadge? He was a four year starter in basketball at Fairmont State 75-78. He lived next door to me in the dorm.

No, but I didn't move to Tallmadge from Cuyahoga Falls till 2006 when Paula and I got together after my wife of 48 years died. Name sounds vaguely familiar but don't know him. My grandson went to Tallmadge High because my son and his wife moved to Tallmadge about 35 years ago. He might know Paul Brownlee. Was 1975-78 during the glorious Coach Retton years. Those Rettons drove the Monongah High fans crazy in basketball and baseball, more than in football, because they had a cavalcade of tremendous Retton athletes come out of Fairview High.
