At last the Little League That Could Gets Its Start

Finally a Tuesday evening arrived without rain and a course too wet to accept our feet. Off the Little League That Could went to Northern Pines in Cicero to star the 2010 season one week ago. We are six members strong, all of us friends for many years. Decades, even. The format is as easy…

Full moon over Foxfire

Our Tuesday night golf league at Foxfire sure has given KP and I great views after we come out of the pub from our post-round relaxation. Last week out in Baldwinsville I noticed the loveliest moon back out over the course. It looked so good I had to use my iPhone 8 to capture it…

A startling sight as the sun goes down

As KP and I walked out of the Foxfire restaurant following our Tuesday night golf league’s nine holes, a beer or two and 10 boneless wings, I noticed something on the way to the parking lot that stopped me in my tracks. The trees appeared to be half-changing toward a deep, rich color that’s usually…

Good play for the start of the new golf league is in the bag

So how did I prepare in the final run for today’s start of the new golf league that KP and I will play in for the first time at Foxfire Golf Course? Did I practice for hours at a driving range? Find a grassy patch to pitch or putt? Imagine the perfect swing plane in…

A night as a sub, and I’m on a roll

The Commish sent me over a text asking of my availability for the little golf league that could. She had a meeting she couldn’t miss. I was thrilled when my appointed Tuesday arrived with blue skies. This summer of yuck has kept my golfing to a minimum. The glory of a post-work nine at pretty…

I don’t mind being a sub in the little golf league that could

When Commish made the calls to see who was joining our little golf league for this season, I had to tell her no thanks. I was still working at the store at the time, and my frequent shifts during the weekly play-time at Northern Pines made it seem impossible for me to make it for…

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…
