ROCKET LAUNCH

Greetings,

This week we will be playing the infamous Rocket Launch.  This means that you MUST tee up your second shot unless it is inside the "NO CART" signs.  This is NOT a score that will be posted nor recorded in the Ringer Book.

Those of you who play 18 holes...please record your own back nine score this week only.

HAVE FUN!!!

CLOSEST TO THE HOLE ISSUES

Ladies,  You probably noticed that on the POD post, I indicated the Closest to the Hole on #8 was "messed up again".  Let me explain what is going on.

The past couple of years we have had some non-league golfers write various real or made up names on the Closest to the Hole markers and then put them real close to the hole.  When we encounter these markers, knowing that the person doesn't play on the league, we will pull the marker(s) and dq the hole from competition. This most always happens in the morning or early afternoon.

We have talked to Sun Hills and asked if the would try to mention to casual players on Wednesdays that there are these markers out on certain par 3 holes and to please not mess with them.  We know that it is pretty hard for them to be able to tell everyone, so we are asking you to help as well.

What we would ask you to do is check the name on the Closest to the Hole marker and see if it is a man's name or any name that doesn't belong to a lady on our league.  If this is the case, and you are on the green, put your name on the marker and put it where your ball is.  If you need to call the club house and verify the name, please do so.  Since this usually does happen earlier, we hope you ladies who play then can catch it.

Thanks for your help in this matter.

INTERESTING FACTS...

Manure ... An interesting fact
Manure: In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before the invention of commercial fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is methane gas of course. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen.
Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!

Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening

After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the instruction 'Stow high in transit' on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.

Thus evolved the term 'S.H.I.T', (Stow High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

You probably did not know the true history of this word.
Neither did I.
I had always thought it was a golf term.
