Also, I realized a long-standing dream: skiing and playing golf on the same day! Bishop Country Club is a delight and, despite my creakiness, I pounded a few drives that flew forever in the thin air.

At 83, my Dad is still an elegant skier. But he hadn’t been to the snow all winter because he was getting radiation for prostrate cancer. (He beat it!) A ski trip to his fave, MammothMountain, was the carrot that got him back in the gym to regain his strength. Thankful.

As usual, outstanding journalistic work here, Alan!

A revitalized Pasatiempo is gonna be one of the golf stories of the year when it reopens this fall.

Somehow this just resurfaced and the comments are so f’ing funny.

Guan Tianlang smiles wanly.

Yes, please. And thank you.

I would love that, because content. But it ain't happening.

You have to fire someone: caddie, coach, wife or agent. Caddie is usually the least complicated and doesn't require severance pay/alimony.
