I played golf over the weekend. A couple of rounds as a matter of fact at the Dunes. I like that course because you don't have to make a tee time 2 and 3 days in advance. They don't take tee times. You come to the course, and you get to play, no long range planning needed. I was a little dismayed Saturday evening. Everytime I got to the greens, I wound up fixing two to three divits that were left on every green on the front nine. People, a little courtesy and commons sense. Repair your divits. It takes all of about 6 seconds for the most inexperienced divit fixer.
I watched the 13-14 Teeners yesterday. An interesting bunch of young men to watch play. You never know if that routine fly ball will be caught. Still alot of one handitess, but they can hit the ball fairly regularly. They play in their state tournament this weekend. Pool play against Brandon Valley at 1 on Friday and Watertown at 1 on Saturday in Watertown at the Stadium! After that, who knows when and if they will play. They are only guaranteed two games then it breaks down to an 8 team single elimination tournament Saturday night and Sunday.
Bill Gayton Jr., the director of scouting for the San Diego Padres watched the 15-16 "A" Teeners play in Aberdeen yesterday. Bill is the son of Bill Gayton, Sr. the coach of the Pierre A Teeners. Winning 14-0 and 16-2, hopefully he took a name down to put on his watch list from Pierre. I know he knows about the Pierre kids. You know how dad's (Bill Sr. in this case) can be in keeping him posted.
It is hard to believe we are in the last week of July and the Legion season will be over for all but 1 team at the end of the weekend. The Rattlers amateur team opens play this weekend in their region tournament in Aberdeen. Won't know who they will play for a day or two but they seed these tournaments out. Brookings, Pierre, Huron and Aberdeen I would think would be the seeding in that order. In either case, win twice and your in the state tournament and win twice on Saturday and you won't have to play on Sunday.

handitess is a word I made up. It is pronounced hand-eye-tuss. In other words, not using two hands to the catch the ball which is fundamentally, the correct way to catch the ball. With Two Hands.
