HappyUP!!! Day 5456

 HappyUP!!! -The Kaseberg

Why It Happened -it's a tradition

Why It Makes Me Happy -things always take on a different tone on tournament day. This MIGHT be the last time we go off the front and back. The shotgun starts are always a bit more fun. ALL the guys were out today! Great to see

HappyUP!!! - decent play

Why It Happened -we were good partners

Why It Makes Me Happy -we had 3 mistakes today and got NOTHING handed to us...still only 2 shots out. THAT is pretty sweet

HappyUP!!! - chipping and some 6 irons

Why It Happened -I still have a few skills

Why It Makes Me Happy -that 6 iron on 12 was a gem. My chipping ended up being spot on...knocked at least 3 up for tap ins. Snuck a wedge into 14 for a fantastic birdie look. No 3 putts. Very solid stuff today.

Our playing partners were a lot of fun!

HappyUP!!! - great group today. 

Why It Happened -2 regulars were out

HappyUP!!! -chip in 17
Why it happened -been working on it
