Last day of pads for the week then the pep rally and scrimmage on Saturday.

We play our other freshman team, full of returning kids from last year and a veteran HC. Hope we hold our own against them.

Buck starts his first practice in pads today. We were to start on Monday, but the league we play in decided they'd move the first game up a week. So we are screwed for our 2 teams. I have no doubt it was purposely done. The other schools we play do not like the fact our HS team has been to state 2 years in a row and are favored to do so again. The school that does the scheduling was supposed to go to state last year and got beat in the 2nd round. Plus our HS team supposedly beat the crap out of them in their scrimmage which didn't go over too well since they're school is about 3x our size.

Yeah I'm over it. Hoping the coach for the northern county rival gets shit canned when they bring a new AD in. Like to convince our southern county rival to split from this league and let us form a new league. It's not even real games anymore. Just poorly ran scrimmages where the 3 teams from the other county argue everything with no refs. No wonder none of their teams haven't done much of anything.

I golfed very poorly last night...was just all over the place.

I finally had a good hole on the final hole where I drilled a great drive to within 100 yds of the green, gap wedge up to within 15 ft. Missed the birdie putt but got my par. Sucks that it was my last hole because I didn't get a chance to see if I could repeat it...at least not until my next time out.

paired with a guy on my team who just doesn't know how to shut the fuck up. Retired boomer who just keeps on talking the entire time.
 
Older 3 finally started school today so we are getting back to normal schedule. Closing on "rental" house tonight and then going to Buck's football practice. Tomorrow starts Wiffleball activities as well as the high school football season. Bring on fall at this point.

I also almost got drilled by an errant shot from a dude on the other team. I had to dodge and that ball was coming in fucking hot. Can't imagine what that would have felt like.

The last time I was out, I was with three brothers and a cousin. One of my brothers and I were sharing a cart. Midway through our round, my brother hit his tee shot off the left side of the fairway into some heavy trees, but sparse enough where he could possibly punch his way through towards the hole. He tried it. He swung, but neither of us saw where the ball went. We look to our left and the two guys at the drink cart are hollering/cheering at us with their hands in the air. We cart over there and discover that my brother's ball somehow made a direct hit with the drink cart and smashed a full bottle of vodka. The nice young gal at the cart was soaked.

Not good, let me tell you. I got hit just below the ribs once by an approx 240 yard shot on the fly. Took over a month for the discoloring to fade away.

I was maybe 50 yds from him and I knew I was in a bad spot based on how this dude was hitting the ball...but this fucker was a line drive right at me. I was listening to it cutting through the fucking air.

When I was little, I spent a lot of time at a club that had swimming, tennis and golf. To go from the pool to the tennis courts or vice versa, you had to cross the golf course. A kid I knew took a golf ball off his head, right above the eye. Really fucked him up.
