Yesterday I spent 18 minutes setting the Levy Area Miracle Mile and then 15 minutes walking it again. John Kelly later won in 5:57. Corky, who had breast cancer surgery last week, and Josh, who's having hernia surgery today, tied for last in 19 minutes.
This morning I walked the Levy Loop in 30:40.
Then I teamed with L.V. "Big Quaker" Dyer to win the Ft. Roots old-men scramble and $10, which meant that after our green and cart fee, we were only out $5. We scored a 36. On No. 9 we were 135 yards out in two. I hit a 7-iron 20 feet short of the pin. L.V. asked what club I'd used. He pulled out an 8-iron, hit a crisp low shot that hit in front of the green and hopped on.
"I think that's going over," L.V. said.
"No, man, that's rolling right at it. That could be close."
His ball disappeared.
"Son of bitch, L.V., did that go in?"
"I think it did. I can't see it."
Del and some old Chinese guy told us in the clubhouse that it hit the pin, stopped for a second and then dropped in the hole.
LV. told me he was caddie at the Country Club of Little Rock in the 1960s, which might help to explain why he actually got pissed we didn't each get $10.50. "You tell me 60 percent of $35 is $21, so that's what we would should get. I'm just saying that's what's fair."
I played pretty well. My highlight was parring No. 4 by myself. We used my 7-wood, my driver chip from 125 yards, sand-wedge pitch over the bunker from 20, and 6 foot putt.
