I should find time to go out and find an old abandoned golf course someplace and take up the game again.
What's it been? 20, 25 years since I swung a club? I still have the clubs, missing a driver, hanging all lonely and dusty-like in the garage. Probably cobwebs and spidery and scary. I know there are plenty of balls and tees in the pockets. A garage shelf has a couple boxes of unopened, brand new balls. Can one call 25 year old gold balls new? Do golf balls go flat on one side, like tires on an old car that hasn't been driven in forever.
Wellington Hills, Woodinville. Kenwanda Golf Course, Snohomish - All grass, weeds, maybe a housing development there now. Got to go where nobody can see me embarrass myself.
One of the golfers at The Open, Peter Uihlein, one of you have him? He's way out of it but he made the cut. Yesterday he shot an 80. He was one of today's early golfers, finished the course, back in the clubhouse. Shot a 66 today. I'm impressed with his resilience, I mean, what a turnaround.
80 to a 66, that's pretty good, right? Only 3 golfers in this whole tourney have shot a round lower. Wyndham @ 64, and two others with 65's.
Can the Mariners have a rebound like that today?
Rocky Colavito is a Hall of Famer in my book!
