Another year has gone by since last posting to this blog. Hard to believe, but perhaps it's because I've spent more time enjoying the outdoors while golfing instead of the indoors while blogging. Most recent outing was with folks from the Wednesday Pint Night crowd at Butler Pitch and Putt, Austin, TX. Weather was warm; sun was bright; everyone had a good time. Those present included George Prall, Bill Maples, Louis Marion, Brad Matejowski, Paul Campbell, John Campbell IV, John Campbell V, Wayne Robinson, Cliff Robinson, Carlos Cantu, Steve Taylor, Tim Cunningham.
The weekly adventures of a select group of Austin-area golfers.

COURTESY TIP
The experience of golf is better when courtesy is seen and sometimes unheard.
Tip of the day: As a golfer prepares to hit a shot, others in the group should remain still (not walking ahead) and quiet. While the sounds of birds, passing cars, and planes overhead may pass without objection, rattling of clubs or keys, sidebar conversations, and sneezing are sure to spur consternation. Earplugs are not considered the appropriate remedy. If courtesy is violated, sincere apologies may prove helpful. On the other hand, a demand for apology from the aggrieved can be seen as discourteous. DISCUSS among yourselves.
