Bill,

I will always remember the driver to the hole at Stevenson, a towering slice of 110 yards; oops, sorry it was 210.

All best wishes on your 70th, the rest is the hard part.

Wow there are two Bill McBride's on here? 

I only know the guy from Pensacola CC who is about 50 yrs old tops.  I guess this must be your Dad they are talking about.  You never told me that your Dad was on here.  Very cool.

Happy Birthday regardless of which Bill you are!!

You know it's always been easy keeping up with Arnie and Jack's age. When Jack turned 50, Arnie was 60. Jack's 72, Arnie's 82, etc. Same goes for a couple of gentlemen GCAers. Whitaker is 60. McBride's 70. Easy peasy. ;D

Wild Bill McBride, I thought you were about my age!!!  Now I just feel bad taking advantage of an old geezer and how many times I've dragged you around a golf course on foot for many rounds, here and there. Tuckering you out like that and then playing in a heated match was just so wrong of me to take such opportunistic advantage of your age disparity  I'm sorry.  And to think I didn't give you any extra strokes for every year older you are than me.  You have no idea how much this makes me think that next time, I must consider your age and give more strokes.....  oh wait a minute, you make it up with your greater worldly cultured golf experiences and superior UC Berkeley education.  Never mind, no strokes for you!  I'll consider myself lucky just to take the field with you next match- that is way overdue.

May Lady Kathleen continue to have the strength and perseverance it must take to keep you on the right path.  

Slainte from me Irish half, and Augari di buon compleanno from da udder half.

Bill - an extra ration of Balvenie for you this evening. Happy birthday.

Hah!  Drinking it as I type.  I just checked in to GCA after the last of 50 guests left, after pillaging and raping my wine collection.  Jeez.......

Thanks to all my GCA pals for their kind wishes.  As I have said many times, GolfClubAtlas absolutely changed my golf life and life in general, all for the better.   As a result of becoming part of Ran's website in in 2001, I have golf friends on several continents and have enjoyed many rounds of golf on great and not so great courses with many fine people.  It's been a great time, and we owe a huge debt to Ran for organizing this group of classic golf enthusiasts.

70 isn't a problem if you are healthy, happy and have lots of friends.   Thanks everyvbody!   ;D

Age is relative.  Some people make that statement true.

Happy Birthday,

Amazing too that Kathleen and I once drove from Pensacola to New Braunfels TX to see Jerry Jeff at the Gruene Hall that night.   8)  Played the Bandit the next day and drove home on Sunday.  All to hear Jerry Jeff sing "Redneck Mother."   M is for the mudflaps you gave me for my pickup truck.....
