I am anxious to read the post about Carol Williams getting fitted for clubs at Ping and I know that won't need a second chance, it will be featured in the Rain, haha.

You're so funny, Brian England 
Who would want to read about me being fitted for clubs? 😂

I appreciate the referral to your friend, James. He was very nice, but I probably won't have him do it. If I get fitted, I want to go somewhere that represents several brands, so I can be sure I'm getting the right set for the current state of my game. It's changed a lot from my younger days.

Good morning Carol. As my time this past week in the Rain has been curtailed, yet not a complete break, it does not surprise me that I had near a total wipeout. Enjoy your day.

I did have a lovely weekend. Golf on Saturday was fun and productive. I golfed my worst game of the season this morning. Oh well, I golfed well when there was money involved. 🤣
