I grew up in West TN but my older brother and I went to UT. My brother has a now long time college friend from Kingsport. I’ve played Warriors Path multiple times. I played with a group in the old Buick scramble that would be played at Warriors. One year, we qualified for playing at the Hermitage in Nashville. Hopefully, I remember names, but I played Cattails, something Mill in Morristown, Island Pointe in Kodak, and I think Eagle’s Landing in Sevierville.

Good memory. The one in Morristown was Millstone. I loved that course, but it closed in late 2019. Think they ended up doing a housing development on the land.

Guys, gals, and morans, it's time. The week has arrived where I/we, my family embark on a fabulous 10 day excursion into the turquoise blue waters of the Exuma, Bahamas. Our vessel? A 403 Moorings power catamaran with 3 staterooms.

(If no "Aye, Aye", you'll get them anyway. )

I wouldn't mind having one, so I consulted Sally to help me get an estimate for what it's gonna cost me. . .

$750m-$1.5 billion to build it.
annual maintenance is 10% total build cost 👀
A 50-80 person staff to run it (avg $65k/yr each)
$1m-$2m for gas on each trip.

Happy Tuesday
Scripture — Acts of the Apostles 9:17–18 (NIV)

17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,

Reflection:
This moment is powerful because both men had something to overcome.
Ananias had to walk toward a man everyone feared. Saul had persecuted believers, and yet the first words Ananias speaks are, “Brother Saul.” That’s grace in action. Before Saul ever preached a sermon, performed a miracle, or proved he had changed, he was welcomed as family.

Saul, on the other hand, had to sit in blindness, helpless and dependent. The man who had once moved with confidence now had to wait for God to restore his sight—both physically and spiritually.

Then the scripture says “something like scales fell from his eyes.” God didn’t just heal Saul’s vision—He changed how Saul saw everything.
Sometimes God allows a season where we can’t see clearly—not to harm us, but to strip away pride, old assumptions, self-reliance, or misplaced confidence. And when His timing comes, what falls away isn’t just blindness… it’s whatever has been keeping us from seeing Him, others, and even ourselves clearly.
Real transformation often begins where control ends and surrender begins.

Prayer:
Lord, if there are scales over my eyes—pride, fear, distraction, self-reliance, old assumptions—remove them. Help me see You more clearly and see others through Your eyes. Give me the humility Saul showed in waiting, and the courage Ananias showed in obeying. Where You are reshaping my vision, help me trust the process. Fill me with Your Spirit, and let my life reflect the kind of transformation that only You can bring. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

That’s it. I remember it being pretty wide open and enjoyed it. I had a good round going until about the middle of the back 9 when I blew up on a hole. That was kind of my game- couldn’t be consistent for all 18. Hate to hear it’s not there anymore. Golf seems to be on the uptick again, but a bunch of courses struggled for a while, and housing creates revenue.

My son texted me that today…..I thought all freaking afternoon. I totally had no idea Elway was drafted in ‘79. I thought he was early’80s Yankees (which he was). Crap

Nice!

Someone mentioned this too me a few years ago. I didn't believe it at first for the same reason.

In a perfect world just imagine the justice and peace that would be served if we all took this kind of heroic “stand” against other humans who commit horrific crimes/create chaos,it would stop quickly…at the end of the day right and wrong is the moral compass we all should live by as humans but we’re so lost in society it’s forgotten…too many people mind their business now days and keep walking with a phone out…its just weird weird times now…this generation would not survive the 80’s and 90’s…completely unchecked….anyways @Ulysees E. McGill for president 🫶🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤣
