Colonel Rinerson and Mick Rennich--October, 2012

Harley has an odd sense of humor.

Hanson in the trap.  Rennich in the woods.

October, 2012:  Coal Creek.

Occasionally, even great golfers hit an errant shot.  Occasionally, Mark hits his golf ball into a sand trap.  This is unfortunate, but do you think his life-long pals sympathize or encourage him at all?  No.  They stand by, bemused and unhelpful, with tell-tale smirks on their faces, making side bets on how many shots it will take him to get out of the trap.  Harley took it to another level this week at Coal Creek, by taking a picture of Mark in the trap.  Mark returned the favor with the international distress signal.

But all is not lost--if you look carefully in the background, you can see Mick Rennich, deep in the woods on Number Five at Coal Creek, after hitting an even worse shot than Mr. Hanson.

I believe Hanson got out of the trap.  With one swing.  In one shot.  With a sand wedge, instead of a putter.  And proceeded to bogey the hole.

Another great outing.  Marvelous weather.  The round was interrupted though.  Harley should add a comment explaining the reason for the half-hour delay at the turn.  Harley?
