Now somewhere in the Black mountain hills of Dakota

It was a short trip over to Hill City, SD, from Devil's tower. We were in and set up by about 1:00, and I sat down to watch the experts play Oakmont Country Club. Just as we got tuned in, there was a knock on the door and Dana's cousin Tom and his wife Joyce were here. They are about three RV's away. We had met previously a couple of years ago when they stopped by Bowling Green to play, and then stopped down at the house. They came in and we nibbled on some smoked trout from Lake Superior and chatted while the boys tried to figure out Oakmont. Tom and Joyce have enjoyed RVing for several years, at first in a class C and now in a fifth wheel. They live in Warwick, NY, and spend time in Florida, the Outer Banks, and on the road. They invited us over for dinner, and after the golf we went over. They had terrific marinated spare ribs. Had a real good visit and we'll have them over tonight.
Tiger hasn't been making all the shots and putts that lead to wins in the last two majors, but he's the only one out there who could be in contention with his B or C game. The par saving putts on 15,16 and 17 were as pressure packed as you can get. Real pukers as they say. He knocked all three in dead center. My buddy Jimmy Furyk hit driver off the tee on 17 into what looked like eight inches of extra thick blue grass. He said later that a pea shooter like himself had no chance for the green and that he was didn't think he could hit it far enough to get in trouble. After birdies at 14,15, and 16, the adrenalin must have been pumping. He, Tiger and Angel all bogied the 17th which at 306 yards, was called a "birdie" hole at least 50 times by the commentators. But you have to give credit to Angel for hanging tough and making an easy par on 18 after hitting an absolutely monsterous drive. Last man standing, and great back 9 action for us viewing choppers who love to see the big boys brought to their knees. I heard somewhere that the USGA had to slow the greens down which had gotten to 14.5 on the stimp. Frightenly fast, even for those guys.
Mount Rushmore today.
