  HB to "Mellow Yellow" The Great HPUREY ! ( dude, post your best saved replay...free yellow friends await

  Thanks for the HB wishes to all that have.  

   

  Here is the most recent yelloway-replay.  It was my last effort to make the cut for qualifying.  Had a good start on the front 9 with a 28, but after a bogey and a few pars on the back, I needed to birdie the last 6 holes or so.  Had a string of decent putts drop for bird and then this.

  Check the view from camera 2. :(    Was all over from there, turned off the pc and grabbed a box of tissue. lol
