Ithaca Was Gorges

There is no detailed report today.  I was off to Ithaca, NY where my daughter was participating in the "Goblin Games" girls lacrosse tournament.  While we did not have time to visit the many gorges and falls in the Ithaca area we did get to have lunch at the famous Moosewood Restaurant.

There was one bit of controversy to report.  When the day began Brad McAreavy was the low handicap at 2.  Later on the front 9 Dave Fries joined the group.  Brad wanted to retroactively recompute the results of the third hole (which would have given him a win) since he had a 2 handicap and Dave was a 0. He argued he wasn't going to get the full benefit of his handicap while others in the flock would.  Brad went so far as to call Jim Mason (who was out today with his sore back) for a ruling.

He might have called me but figured he would get too much abuse for asking the question.  Jim was nice enough to just say "What! Are you crazy?!!"  Actually, Jim probably just told him "No" but I couldn't resist the opportunity to throw my response in there as well.  We'll be shaking our heads over this one for many years to come.
