How will Santa deal with the prevailing winds over Mullen, NE?  ;D
I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

Patrick,

Great to see you didn't forget this year...Merry Christmas!

Also pushing this thread to the top wishing everyone here at GCA a wonderful holiday season and a terrific new year. 

We need a little Christmas around this place, Lord knows. ;). ;D

Pat-Thanks for posting the link. It certainly takes a lot of the guess work out of what has historically been a pretty mysterious trek. Merry Christmas to everyone out in GCA land.

Pat:

Merry Christmas.  I first got my log-on to GCA.com in Dec. several years ago.  At that time, my 8 yo daughter found the NORAD tracker to be fascinating.  Thanks for a wonderful memory and may God bless you with a healthy, happy new year.

I am hoping that this year will finally allow us to meet in person.

Best wishes,

Bart

Bart,

My 6 year old daughter has been introduced to the NORAD tracker thanks to this thread.  We've had great fun with it all day.

Merry Christmas to you, Pat and the rest of the GCA.com community.

Here is to a great 2010 and an even better 2011.

My 5 year old daughter has been checking the NORAD site all day.  The videos are darn educational.  Merry Christmas to all, and may your families be blessed in the New Year!

Thanks Pat.  My 8 year old girl loves the site, and it helps spirit her off to bed at a nice hour so Mom and Dad can relax by the fire.

Merry Christmas.

Happy to report that Santa did in fact visit the middle east last night.  He brought a certificate allowing a national membership at a golf club of my choosing--with a price cap of course.  Funny how he AND my wife agreed on that part.

Despite rumors to the contrary, he was not targeted by any of our surface-to-air batteries as he had the proper Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) squawk for his sleigh.  He should be finishing up west coast operations as we speak.

Ben,

Glad it came off without a hitch. The last thing our boys in uniform need is a tragic friendly fire incident involving Santa...Keep up the good work and here's to a happy new year back home on the links...

How do you think?  He'll move the ball back in his stance and hit a punch shot!  He knows how to hit windcheaters!

Ben,

That is awesome to hear.  Stay safe.

Marty,

Pat has been posting the link to NORAD longer than nearly everyone including yourself has been on this website.  It is a great tradition that both my kids have used until the day the became non-believers.

Lighten up...

Merry Christmas
