The golf outing this past week was a wonderful day for everyone. Last year's weather, which really reminded people more of golfing in Scotland in the fall than Chicago in the summer, was the exact opposite. 70's, low humidity, scattered clouds, low wind...a perfect day for people to spend outdoors and for some pretty great scoring. We had an outright winner, but a USGA tiebreaker playoff for second and third places.

Yours truly was fortunate enough to win one set of the Air Show tickets as well as the putter from Thrift. I figured nobody wanted to see a picture of me by myself, so I took a pass on posting one.
