Those counter timbers are little buggers indeed. When creating some I anticipated errors and made 3 surplus pieces only not to realize any errors. So now I have 3 extra small, thin pieces of scrap Boxwood. Not a habit I want to get into @ today's Boxwood prices.
I also have been playing golf for 40+ years now. Although the last few have seen my level of competition drop. So now it's pretty much the social aspect and exercise, although I will still post a low 80s round now and then and have not yet moved up to the senior tees.
Was up at 5 AM to watch the start of the Singles matches today. US looks to be making a moves, but think it is far too little, too late. The Europeans have played flawlessly and seem to have much better team synergy.
One more off topic Paul. I've met Steve Stricker a couple of times over the years. I have a ton of family living in Geneseo, Ill, which is about 30 minutes outside of the Quad Cities. I've played TPC @ Deer Run a few times. Was at the John Deer Classic with family two of the three years Steve posted his history "Threepeat". He is a great guy, down to earth who still loves his simple hunting and fishing pleasures.
I finally get to post something on your thread other than "Great work".
By the way, wonderful work Paul!!
