Having completed my best round in six seasons, I quietly joked “you know right now I’m happier than her” pointing towards a frozen bride getting photographed.

Excellent memory: dazzled handshake, from Mr. Kavanaugh, behind Red Number 4, my putt having just spoiled his team's quest to win yet another 5th Major!

That's another top contender! Even if I don't know my Mrs. K, it would be an unusual wife who wouldn't -- at some level -- like to read about her husband's prized hobby causing him some grief!

I'll nominate the sight of Joe Bausch pulling out the flat stick on the third fairway at Shoreacres.  I think he was 80 yards out. Maybe a hundo. It was audacious, even with the F&F conditions. Maybe too fast, as I recall he "putted" through the green.

Two down with five left, my friend jacks an iron for an ace at Tobacco Road and his vexed competitor sweats, quietly gazing at the scorecard.

A chartered light plane flight to Cape Wickham, just to play the new DeVries course - Cape Wickham. Didn't feel queasy, zephyrs blew, course beyond expectations.

Today, I played with a 78-year-old who shot 77.

I had lots of terrific memories on the golf course this year, but watching someone shoot his age was truly special.

I fondly and vividly remember one queer day - the great zealot Mucci, perhaps unknowingly or just unexpectedly, composed a thread title which was a complete sentence.

Peter,

I almost fell for your little trick by disqualifying entries that you declare contenders. Of course while improving your chances. Nice try.

Ah, that's a horrible thing to say or to think about me. Plus, I could only wish I was so clever and subtle of mind.

Seriously, I thought mine was good, if a bit wimpy (and fyi, it is meant to highlight the only back to back birdies I've ever had in my life).  But then I read so many excellent ones -- Michael's Andrew's, Joe's and Matthew's just in the last few minutes -- that I'm just preparing myself not to be disappointed.

Just look, for example, at how Joe got a "k" in there! And Matthew with a very imaginative and gentle poke at
Mr Mucci. 

Thanks again for a very fun thread

Peter

PS - Please don't let your husband's thoughts sway you, Mrs. K. The truth is, I'm just an unusually humble and generous person, and so it makes him uncomfortable...
