Good fun is always a HappyUP!!! and I KNOW.....always KNOW.....how blessed I am to HAVE a brother that I can spend a few hours on the golf course with.

HappyUP!!! Day 1964
HappyUP!!! - Horse Race
Why it happened - tournament inside the tournament
Why it makes me happy - the horse race is an interesting dynamic. You basically are on the verge of elimination with each shot. If you can survive that, you get to the finals..........in full view of EVERY person in the tournament who has been eliminated so far. It can be a little nerve wracking. For the second year in a row, I drew a good partner for this........and managed to ride it home in first place. It's always nice to peform under pressure.
HappyUP!!! - 3 birdies
Why it happened - good shots
Why it makes me happy - my partner and I needed it today.....neither of us played to our potential...but we were OK....only 3 shots out of the overall lead.

HappyUP!!! Day 1958
HappyUP!!! - pro in early
Why it happened - he couldn't sleep?
Why it makes me happy - I got to head back home early and do some stuff prior to teeing it up
HappyUP!!! - birdie on 3
Why it happened - I used the bounce
Why it makes me happy - been working on properly using my wedge again. I used it pretty well on the hardest hole on our course as my pitch rolled right into the jar for a birdie!
HappyUP!!! - got the tee time
Why it happened - early rise
Why it makes me happy - my weekend golf is "catch and catch can" and sketchy. Sometimes I do...sometimes I don't. I get my golf in during the week. When I want to play on Saturday, I now KNOW the drill now if I want to play on a Saturday morning at our club. It's not rocket science.....it's the classic "early bird gets the worm." Funny how some axioms ALWAYS work.
