ShopTalk: 'tis the season

[tflan]

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!   At long last (2 1/2 months) I posted a decent score. I know it isn't a big deal to most of y'all but to me, a one time pretty good player, posting numbers in the mid- to high 80's really sucks - its suckola. (Geez, I hope Ms Kuntz isn't watching. Are ya? Doing anything later? I have a few minutes. How long could it take? )  ;-))   Shot 38/36. A couple of sandies, a couple of birdies, a lotta pars. Golf is fun again. I was going to quit but for the nonce I think I'll hang in to see if the golf gods have forgiven me for deriding them, or if it was just one more of their filthy tricks.   Best wishes to one and all for the coming New Year. Let's have some more great discussions on these pages.   And many thanks to John Muir, our host, for his forbearence.   TFlan
