Good Luck CatM. I hope you catch the "big" one this time. :lol: :lol:

I'll be at home instead of camp this weekend. Our renters are still there through Sunday. DH is working a double at the fire department so I'm still thinking about what I'm going to do. Maybe hit some garage sales or something.

Laurie and Carole, thanks. I always have a great time, even when I don't catch anything. (DH, on the other hand, acts like a 3 year old if he doesn't catch something. rofl )

Hmm if you are a TRUE golf fan, have i got a course for you. I am not too far from Merion in Ardmore pa where in 1930 the famous Golfer Bobby Jones won the US Amateur Championship as part of golf's "Grand Slam". Merion will host the US Open in 2013 if you need to plan in advance

This year,Merion will be the Host of the 2009 Walker Cup. The Walker cup is named for the grandfather of former president George Herbert Walker Bush.

According to Merion's PR they have hosted more US Am Championships than any other course in the US a total of 17
.

This course is well maintained and very old, Years ago when they held another major tornament, it was impossible to get anywhere near the property due to the traffic even if you were a nearby resident

just some interesting local history of this course and for golf from wikipedia:

"..Hugh Wilson had never designed a golf course, so he went on a seven-month trip to Scotland and England to study British courses. Several features of Merion East are derived from famous British courses, not the least of which are Merion's distinctive Scottish-style bunkers, which are now known as the "white faces of Merion". Wilson's layout covers only 126 acres (0.51 km2) of land, a very small area for a golf course. It was ranked seventh in Golf Digest's "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses" in 2005, and Jack Nicklaus has said of Merion East, "Acre for acre, it may be the best test of golf in the world."

Merion has held 17 United States Golf Association (USGA) championship tournaments, more than any other course. The first two, the 1904 and 1909 U.S. Women's Amateur Championships, were held at the original Haverford course. The first USGA tournament held at the East Course was the 1916 U.S. Amateur, won by Chick Evans. This was also the first time Bobby Jones appeared in a national championship; he was 14 years old. Jones would win his first U.S. Amateur in 1924, also held at Merion.

In 1930, the U.S. Amateur was again played at Merion. Earlier that year, Bobby Jones had won the British Amateur, British Open, and U.S. Open, so anticipation was high to see if he could complete the sweep of all four major championships of the time. Jones played well, cruising through to the final 36-hole match against Eugene Homans. A gallery of 9,000 was on hand for the start of the match and swelled to 18,000 by the afternoon round, forcing the competitors to be escorted to the tees and greens. Following the morning round Jones was ahead by seven holes, and when both players parred the 11th hole Jones had an 8 & 7 victory (8 holes ahead with seven to play). Searching for words to describe the unprecedented feat, Atlanta newsman O.B. Keeler used the term "Grand Slam", which has stuck ever since. Seven weeks after the tournament, Bobby Jones retired from competitive golf.....

CatM I iwll keep you & four DH in my thoughts and prayers as he has his Angiogram.

By the way thank you for praying for Elaine Y. She's pretty scared, and wishes it was all over for her.
