  3 years for Thomas the addict (where are your favorite replays?),

  Sorry SP, thought I could get away with not posting one (couldn't choose).

  Decided on my 1st ace, which was also the first ace I'd even seen either IRL or here or on TV except for replay.  So much screaming and shouting going on next door called to see if I was o.k.   pmsl

  This incredible, to die for (I want one), HOI, is the replay choice for the Award of 3 Nike RZN golf balls. Congrats Thomas!    Who will be next?

  Hey Sis ... couple of edits ...

  (1) It must have been an awesome 'Cinco de Mayo" for you ... you lost a month!
