A lesson from an old friend

Deadeye Dick -- wearing the Lucky Gopher Hat he borrowed from his former boss.
Dick Crawford has been working so hard for the newspaper company it's only the second time he's golfed with Stan this year. He made the very most of it today, humbling his former boss by shooting a smooth 81 -- despite being handicapped by freshly-aerated and sanded greens. Dick had his entire bag of tools working today, getting off the tee huge and following with accurate chips and deadly putts. Dick's an accomplished writer, publisher, manager, but you never know, this may be something to fall back on.
A glorious, cool and breezy day, the yellow flags snapped and the trees paraded by in an ostentatious array. The twosome had its stories to tell, of course. Dick and Cindy sponsor two in college, have lots of challenges at work, and plans afoot. Stan, not so much going on, but hey, there's a new sliding door to install in Dundas tomorrow and then a journey to Alexandria on Saturday.
Did we mention that Dick shot an 81?

It ain't fair. Those of us who play the game regularly should be rewarded with an occasional 81.To show up twice in a season and shoot an 81 just ain't fair.
