A huge night for Tiny

Something special happened for the Limp Lizard squad during Thursday Night Men’s League action at Bowling Green last week. And it wasn’t the fact that we won all three games for the first time to up our second-half record to 9-12. My teammate Tiny had a week that was. If you can’t quite make out…

Breanna Stewart’s wish for sports equality for women is a good one

A kid who grew up in my part of the world used her fame in a good way the other week. I wasn’t watching the ESPYs Awards Show when Breanna Stewart accepted the Female Athlete of the Year trophy. I don’t. Yes, ESPN does a good job timing its extravaganza, putting it on during baseaball’s…

Not so mighty tacos

The new addition to the Central New York takeout food parade caught my attention as I drove down Route 11 coming home from the store one day. Mighty Taco. Didn’t you have those out in California?, I quizzed me dear wife Karen. She concurred. We went this past Saturday of our three-day holiday weekend, after…

Salad or something bigger?

The Pie Guys for a quick dinner sounded good to my dear wife Karen and I as my Thursday Night Bowling League picked up again after our two-week break for the holidays. Karen, wise woman that she is, ordered the small antipasto, with Italian dressing. We know from experience that these folks make a mean…

The sun sets on our little golf league

Two threesomes completed all nine holes in our little golf league that could Wednesday night. DJ, Amy and I got around first. The final foursome from the league in front of us made us wait, just a little, on a couple of tee shots. I think my iPhone 6 caught Amy’s shot in the greenside…

Just one more week remains for the our little golf league

Yes, we have become familiar in our little golf league that just switched to Wednesday night for the final three weeks of the season. Look at this string of texts. They say so much more than I possibly could. And so we played the back nine, five of us in one group, after DJ arrived…

It’s beginning to feel like fall golf, and that’s fine

For the last three weeks of this season for our little golf league, the owner at Northern Pines suggested to Commish that we switch from Monday to Wednesday night. All eight of us gave the move the thumbs up. We could start at 5:30, giving us an important extra 15 minutes of the waning daylight.…

Sublimely, the seven savor the 6 p.m. sun …

Enough about the slow play and the waiting and setting sun and my grouchiness about all of the above. This week the little golf league got off on time, both foursomes from the first tee at Northern Pines on the northeast outskirts of Syracuse. Yes, there was a bit of a bottleneck at the second…

Splitting up, we all play 9 holes

When last we checked in on our eight-golfer league, dark was dampening our spirits on Monday nights at Northern Pines in Cicero. So Commish ended last week’s shortened play with a talk with the higher-ups at the course just outside of Syracuse, N.Y. They suggested the best route was to separate our foursomes, each to…

Sunny golf day, and a wait at every tee

There was happiness and there was discontent this week at the Little Golf League That Could. The sun was shining as I returned from our week at the Happy Cottage in Cape Cod to rejoin our two foursomes that now make Monday night home for a weekly round of nine holes at Northern Pines Golf…
