Hello Hoosier Golfers:

I am at home again for another off-week in the good, old Indiana weather … enjoying the rain. I’ve been out in the woods again this week trying to get that big gobbler, with no luck again! Although, now I consider a day in the woods a success if I haven’t been shot at!!!!!

My dad and I have been out fishing throughout the week, as well. With all the rain we’ve had, the fishing has actually been fairly decent considering the rising stage of the summer pools in the lakes. Using fishfinders and electronics have helped us to locate schools of fish, and we have had moderate success. Each time my dad and I have went, we’ve put about 15 fish in the live well.

Coming up this weekend is the the annual Cloverdale Dollars for Scholars Outing. I try to play in it each year, donating various clubs and apparel for the event. It’s one of the highlights of my year because I know everyone that comes out, and I always enjoy giving back to my roots out in Cloverdale. Anyone who would like to play on Saturday morning, May 9 at Clover Meadows should contact the golf course at (765) 795-6001. It’s always a great time.

I’m heading out to Greenville, S.C., for the BMW Charity Pro-Am at The Cliffs on Sunday. I’m really excited for this week because I’ve got a few people flying out to see me play. Hopefully I will break through with a top 10 or better! I always play better when I have close friends or fans out to follow along, so I am thinking this week could be the real deal!

Tune in next week!

Good day…

Hello Hoosier Golfers:

This week is the first of my two off weeks, and I’m not wanting them to end. Mushrooms are up, turkeys are gobbling, and crappies are biting. What could be better!?

Dad and I were setting up a turkey blind to hunt the next morning, and I think I received poison ivy! And that’s not all.

The next morning, we were turkey hunting in the blind with our bows, and two jakes came into our decoys but were afraid of our dominant gobbler decoy. Nonetheless, this morning (Wednesday, April 29) was no luck on bagging a gobbler, but we still had an enjoyable hunt.

Meanwhile, a few first-timers happened this evening. Tonight was the first time that I’ve had my Jeep off the beaten path in four-wheel drive in some sloppy mud. Also, tonight was an encounter with probably the largest yellow sponge mushroom I’ve ever found. Unfortunately, it was not on my property!

While mushroom hunting on a fence row looking for more mushrooms like this one, I was shot at by an angry redneck who apparently thought I was on his property! Walking along the property line, Dad and I heard what sounded like a four-wheeler about 200 yards into the woods coming our way. As the engine got closer, we decided to head back to the pond to see if the fishing had picked up. While heading back to the pond, a shotgun was fired in our direction, causing us to hit the ground like two army vets!

I was shocked when I heard the shot being fired! So we continued to tread our way through the woods back to the pond. After recovering from our adrenaline high, thankfully the rednecks left the territory and we made it home unscathed.

Glad I’m still alive to write more fun and interesting blogs! Tune in next week. Hopefully I’m still in one piece!

Good day…
