Well, I'm back. Had to re-register. Even get a new screen name......grrrrr. Anyway, I'm back for my annual jaunt of Columbia Edgewater and the Safeway, this now my lucky 13th year holding the score sign. I'll be first off the first tee again bright and early Thursday morning. And will post all my ramblings after the tourney is over. Man I've really been out of it when it comes to the LPGA. (I'm too lazy to check, has Miss Pak retired?) This year should be very interesting as just down the road, the 2015 Woman's USGA Amateur is playing opposet, and is at the course Ben Hogan won the 1948 Open on, Portland Golf Club. The Am is blitzing the airwaves with advertising and I haven't heard SQUAT on the LPGA tourney. Personally, I'd kinda rather see the AM because I had a great time watching it when it was at Punkin' when Kimberly Kim (WOW, that's a blast from the past) won it to become the youngest ever winner when she was like 14, braces and all. Weather will be nice, with a chance of showers only on Friday, otherwise mid 80's and sunny. As for me, well, I'm still reffing soccer, fit as a fiddle but have a bad, very painful case of tennis elbow at the moment, retirement is coming up fast, and I'm off in a couple weeks to Washington DC to attend a reunion of all us parents and kids from my daughter's orphanage in China. Daughter's 16 now and still a delight. On the other side, but I'll try and get a few pics up as the tourney progresses. -ol'68

ol68 Great to hear from you my friend. Hopefully you get some really good pros bright and early.
We all look forward to your reports...they are candid and detailed.
Is Herbie the Luv Bug still running?
I'm glad you adopted your daughter to make a much more meaningful life for her with you vs. what would have happened if she was still in China....kudos!
I won't be attending in Portland because the CP CWO is here in Van City next week.
Ya...I too would love to watch the Am too. GC won't be covering the Am.....likely do to all the repeat nausea PGA Championship banter crap....ugh.

They'll likely only have a reporter on site covering the Women's Amateur. As for play by play of the event itself it'll be on Fox Sports 1 beginning with the round of 64 matches on Wednesday.

Have fun, ol68. I look forward to your reports. There's no way I'll make to Portland this year. Super busy at work this week and my niece is getting married on Saturday.

Happy…..not so much of a problem, just an inconvenience. Was surprised and pleased at the new format. But I had to dig real deep to find my avatar pic again after my home laptop computer crash. Luckily I hadn’t deleted it on my work computer when I cleaned it up a bit ago. Still running marathons? Your kid must be 10 by now. 3putt…I thought they banned you from this forum?!?!?!? Yep, I still have Herbie, but don’t drive it much. Last time I did was a parade in Spring here in Vancouver. Runs like a top, still. I’ll never get rid of him. But I will get rid of my Bus. 40 horse power in a Bus is just too stressful to drive around in. Just have to fix the brake lights and the blinkers (I think it’s the same problem ground point)and it’s on the market. I was doing some research to do a Subaru conversion in it, but ended up just buying a Subaru and love it, especially the heat in winter. And you can get on the freeway without causing a mile back up chain reaction. I am looking forward to the reunion. Last one we had, most of the kids were around 8-10. Now 8 years later a lot are in college and high school. Will really be good catching up on things and seeing the kids.Time just flies. My Rachel is a junior this year and plays lots of soccer. Loves it.
Verdent….take care, I’ll miss you. Love your avatar. Geilin
I’ll post more when things start out on the course (Hey, I just heard my first Portland LPGA commercial on the radio tonight!)

Sorry about the change in message board, but the provider of our old one decided to yank it offline without telling me or anyone, so I had to scramble to set something else up. This one has worked out pretty well, so I can't complain. You may be confusing 3putt with bam bam, the other crazy Asian guy. I had to ban ban bam bam when he went off his meds and started posting all that wacky stuff a year or so ago.

Tony Huh?? It not called the MERICAN Solheim Cup...it's just the Solheim Cup. Why no discussion about the Euros?

3putt…I thought they banned you from this forum?!?!?!? ol'68.....you white guys think we all look the same....the guys that got banned were Koreans....Bam Bam and Korean....I'm Chinese....hopefully you pick up on it soon so you don't make the mistake of posting Shanshan's name on your standard bearer sign when it's Hee Young Park in your group.

Happy.....did you and other receive PM's from Bam warning us about the Dark Side (Nike) etc,...Bam would often edit some of his posts 10+ times until he out right deleted some. Happy...huh.....are you calling me a crazy Asian....WTH....I'm reporting you to the moderator....oh I forgot....you are the SOLE mod.
