  Thank you very much for marking for me Cerino. And thanks to all for being patient and waiting for me to get my rounds in. Good luck to everyone and have fun.

  So I marked for James(jlucky3333). If he practiced a little with the starters he would blow us all away. He shot a 76.  Right on the first hole he dropped a bomb from the other side of the green for a birdie. This was after 2 discos in the 1st fairway so we were playing on borrowed time through the whole game. James played superb and was fast and very stylish with his disco pants. lol. I think we could have used the 45 second timer and it wouldn't have changed anything. Loved playing that way. Up down left and right the dude kicked it. Below is the cards and stats.

  Got my game in with Dazza. Good round from me but Dazza had some problems with bad bounces and a laggy meter.

  But still, we got it done!

  Thanks Dazza and good luck with last 2 rounds :)

  Macduff and I have a tenuous arrangement for playing Round 3 today or tomorrow, but I get the feeling (the messages always come late in the day when I am not on ) our paths won't cross, so if anyone would like to mark 18 holes at Olympic for me, hit me up

  I am around now for a few hours or so.

  Storm and myself have a round three tee time scheduled for Thursday evening.  Olympic is a darn tough course even with good clubs but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

  Also wanted to remind everyone that we are featuring a closest to the Pin (off the tee only) competition on the 13th at Olympic, so make sure to save a screen grab if you find the green and are putting for Bird.

  Ian(Legaci) and I have a tee time for Wednesday 1:00pm EST. My practice on Olympic has been all over the place. It's very hard to judge the approaches and many just run through the greens that at first appear perfect. This was my pick for conditions and now I'm not very happy with myself. Tournament Speed Greens seemed like a sinister fun idea a couple of weeks ago but now that it's here, not so much fun and mostly just sinister. When the 2012 US Open was played a lot of players mentioned that even par through the first 6 holes would be gaining shots on the field. That's absolutely true. Even through 6 is killing the joint with these clubs and conditions.

  Good Luck to everyone on Olympic. Can't wait to see some score cards coming in.

  Rats... I am sorry to hear that John. Mac was confident that she could make it work, and it looked to me like a wide evening overlap for her with your morning window.

  I would urge everyone to make a firm plan rather than anything tenuous. It's so easy to let these things slide into uncertainty... and, as we all know, it just doesn't work to try and catch someone green. So, please propose a definite time (or several, and ask for your partner to make a choice).

  Thanks, Corwyn
