Golf, Golf, Golf...

Everyone- @MutherTucker was able to secure 16 spots for a golf Scramble on Friday of the Gathering (7/29/2016). This is designed to just have some fun and socialize with other boaters. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE GOOD. Andrea and I are participating and are not good.

A golf scramble is a format for golf tournaments where two or more players form a team to play, with the rules emphasizing fun without the pressure of players keeping individual scores. Each player hits a tee shot on each hole, but everyone plays from the spot of the best shot, subject to certain criteria.

I encourage you to participate. The folks that went last year had a blast and are still talking about it.

Date: Friday, July 29, 2016
Time: 9:30 am - 11:30 am

@OperationROL What day is "Will" sorry, "surprise guest", showing up?

That would be cool!

Got new tires all around yesterday. Need to take care of landscaping on the two plazas i manage, mow my own lawn, finish up my boat cover snaps, look into finishing my speaker wiring, fix my loose fire extinguisher mount, and possibly get the new depth finder figured out. Ok.. maybe i need more than one day.

 

[Speedling]

And the orange flag!
If you forgot or are new we need to have that orange skier down flag in Illinois. I will be heading to cabelas soon for one as amazon didn't have the ones i want with two day shipping.

For those of you from out of state here is a snip from the Illinois rule. I know some states you only have to hold the flag up when the skier is down and we have seen a couple boats around us that just keep their flags up all the time. There is a $25 fee for not following the rule as listed below.

The operator of any watercraft that is towing a person or persons shall display on the watercraft a bright or brilliant orange flag measuring not less than 12 inches per side. The flag shall be displayed at the highest point of the area surrounding the boat's helm as to be visible from all directions, continuously, while the person or persons being towed depart the boat in preparation for towing and until reentry into the boat when the activity has ceased.
