In addition to the regular hazards - water, sand traps, trees, etc. - there will be crack shots with shotguns placed at strategic spots along the course whose job it is to shoot your ball out of the air. When I patent the idea I'll be sure to give you credit. :)Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-4283530131117032842012-09-03T00:05:30.129-04:002012-09-03T00:05:30.129-04:00Dear Canajun:

A great hunting and fishing writer I once read religiously said, "Every time I see a golf course I think, where the hell are the headstones?" <br /><br />I will learn to play golf when they combine it with trap shooting. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-73921404048902227262012-09-01T20:03:16.333-04:002012-09-01T20:03:16.333-04:00David - No silver linings that I've found yet....David - No silver linings that I've found yet. Garage repairs are still waiting for the contractor to schedule the work. Everyone has so much work from the storm they're tackling the jobs affecting people's homes first - not unreasonably. So it may be a while yet. Good news is the insurance company actually turned out to be great after a somewhat shaky start.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-69597261883273244202012-09-01T20:01:00.384-04:002012-09-01T20:01:00.384-04:00WB - LOL.

I remember, after my little incident, getting the bike picked up riding off to work and then limping home, barely able to breath and having to ask my son to drive me to emergency. I finally had to admitt that riding for the summer was over ... the good news is, time will heal it if you give it a chance...and you can still get to the Old Bastards Show with four wheels (they'll let you in!).

My dad had much worse a few years back because it was the tree that landed on him. He lived, but it could have gone the other way. Anyway, tree stories freak me out and I'm glad you're alright. I hope your insurance was comprehensive. Oh, you're up North... right. Probably was. <br /><br />Also, what, no Canadian whiskey? Not that I've ever found a good one, but I figure you'd have the line on some quality stuff. <br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars - Motorcycles and LifeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-55714597743144746062012-08-31T11:23:10.090-04:002012-08-31T11:23:10.090-04:00Thanks NoName.
