Ah crap....another hurricane coming!
I watch it every day....
Shot my age this year too...all I need now is an albatross and I can quit.
No, I've had FIVE!!!. But I'm old and have played a lot of golf over the years (more than most). Had my first at 16 ans then one about every 10 years or so, but waited 17 years for the one last year.
Also I shot my age this year for the first time!
Check it out...
Congrats! We'll take 'em any way we can get 'em!
Interesting story!
I posted just for you, "sweetie pie" LOL. Thanks!
Well 9 o'clock and all is well....we made it through Florence with no major damage, no trees down (lots of limbs and debris though) and did not lose power! We did lose internet for about a day and a half and my driveway where the creek goes through a pipe (well 2 pipes now that I added one last year) washed out (again).
Looks like the rain has finally stopped and I think we had about 12-15 inches here in my county.
I was one of the lucky ones, some towns and cities are flooded over completely, especially ones with a river nearby and the flooding will get worse over the next 2-3 days as the rivers swell further.
I guess you all saw on the news how bad it was so pray for those who weren't as fortunate as we were.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone!
Griff
I know you were, and I really appreciate the offer!
Thanks bro, I really appreciate it and the offer to take me in.
I've played while it was snowing too...but it started snowing after we were already on the course. Had to scrape the snow away so we could putt. Also a long time ago....wouldn't do it now.
It's a bit windy for golf!..Wouldn't be surprised to see one or two golf nuts out there though. I did actually play in the NC Amateur Golf tournament as hurricane Bertha approached in Wilmington back when I was younger. Pretty weird, trees crashing and such....but I can say I played in a hurricane before!
Florence update...so far we have only 45 mph winds here, no rain yet. It's moving so slowly they say we'll have wind and rain through Sunday. Good news (for me anyway), it dipped a bit south when it hit land and has slightly lessened the effects here. Some cities southeast of here are flooded, especially ones that have a river like Newbern and Lumberton.
I'm surprised to still have power and internet....
Anyway, I don't feel I'm in any danger here unless the path changes...
Power just flickered...uh oh....
Wouldn't be a bad idea, lol...but the airlines are about to shut down at RDU....
I just moved the truck to the other side of the creek under my driveway...I know that's going to flood over. That wa I can still go somewhere If I need to.
We had Floyd in 1999 come through...very similar to this one but this one's moving slower so more heavy rain. Trees were down everywhere back than, across highways, but mostly flooding damage.

I didn't want to be caught holding it and the power goes out for several days...Flo will hit the NC coast near Wilmington today at 8pm and we already have about 25mph winds here in the mid state...now they're saying 40-60 mph and 8-15 inches of rain for us here. Rain the next 3 days but who knows how long the power will be off?
Sold VTL for a $60 loss....now new lows....
I liked it better trading in .05's....
hhhmmmmm filled VTL again .47...hope I want them!
I had a ronco refill yesterday at .50 while I was gone...sold it too early though at .55...
No, I can handle 40mph winds and 8-12 inches of rain...it won't actually start till Fri morning here inland.
Unless the path move back northward than that changes everything and we may go to a local shelter just to get out of the trees here.
It has turned a bit, but still not enough to get me out of the danger zone...but 40 pmh winds and 8 -10 inches is way better than 80 mph and 20 inches.
Thanks for the good wishes.
Well get ready for a buck on VTL because I just filled (sold) at .75
It's hard to go wrong at -90%...but it can happen!
dang...added at .50...another turdpile down 90%+
Fido says I'm up 22k on my VTL buy....
joined you at .70..this is one of those .05 movers.
True, but we can have those too! We had a bad one in the Mountains last year I think it was....
OK will do! Thanks,
Tanks bud, right now the eye is projected to come right through my town, but there are still 2+ days so that should change, I hope!
Only thing I'm concerned about are trees falling on the house. 60-80 mph sustained winds here in the middle of the state and we've already had a rainy summer so the ground is soft.
Maybe we'll go to a shelter during the actual hurricane, but it's supposed to stall and give us 1 to 2 FEET of rain in 2-3 days.
We'll probably lose power for a few says too.
Our NC version of earthquakes and mudslides!
Bread and milk is for the snow...hurricanes have people buying bottled water, batteries, generators, canned food...and chainsaws!
I have huge tall trees all around my house...let's hope they stay upright!
Maybe it'll turn some in the next 3 days........
Hurricane Florence coming straight at me....be nice Flobe!
better him than me...........
making a new low now...might add under .70 if.....
mmmmm looks like I filled at .771....do I want them now?
I'll try a few birdies
LOL..yep...found it too late anyway. it went to .75
HSGX down about 70%...........
Thomas, Day, Rahm, Woods, Fleetwood, Noren, Matsuyama, Speith, Poulter, Woodland.
tweeting is for twits.........mooing and oinking is a result of too much alcohol? hahaha
TIS...slight bounce...only 163%...wow
But you're not denying it!!!!
