Well guys won't be making it to the Southern. Pretty Wife is turning 60 that weekend and we are doing something she wants to do. Sorry but I won't be able to take pics for PP. Will try to make it next year.

Michael, you'll be missed, but you should indeed do something for your wife's 60th (and if we see her, should we tell her you told us it was her 30th birthday?) Have a great time, and happy birthday to your wife.

First time I won't be there in many years. I'll be thinking of you. Be safe and have fun!

Shucks! I was hoping I’d get to oogle that nice gun of yours that you showed me at PA.

Sorry for the naive questions.

Yup, she's a trooper. Didn't even complain last year when the chair fell over with her in it. She wanted to do an overnighter in B'ham and go shopping and have a nice dinner, so that is what we are doing.

Sheesh! Sounds pretty dicey to me. (This comment was in response to Mike K.’s, but the tipping chair story sounds intriguing, too!)

Pretty Wife was sitting in a directors chair watching the practice rounds and the small foot print chair legs sank into the soft soil (when doesn't it rain at the Southern) and she tipped over backwards getting wet and muddy. I was else where doing elsewhere things when that happened and some of the nice PGCA members helped her up. She didn't say a word when I got back other than she didn't want to sit in the directors chair no more. That's when I saw the mud and she told we what happened. Didn't complain or demand to go back to the hotel. To say I'm the luckiest guy in the world does not do it justice.
