Tea Pot added to permanent collection

[Larry Marley]

The Orange County Fair Selected my Teapot to be added to their permanent collection,
granting me their "Permanent Collection Purchase Award."

So, I got that going for me...

Which is nice...

[Kenny Jacobson]

Hey, Larry. Dick Foreman told me yesterday at the fair about it. Congrats!!! Larry didn't mention it (maybe everyone assumed it), but the fair only picks one piece per year to purchase, and there was a lot of competition. So that's quite an honor.

I've seen it in person a couple times now and it is truly deserving of the award.

Steven, not sure if you caught it or not, but that was a Caddyshack referrence...

[steven carter]

Mike,

I am 59 years old, carry a 8 handicap, play golf 3 times a week, and started as a caddy, and we even had a caddy shack, so I got that going for me, and certainly got the reference, I just thought it was a convienent segue to mention Larry's fine website and his great tutorial videos.

[Mike Cruz]

Sorry, Steven, no harm meant. Not EVERYONE knows the movie (I'm sure there are at least 3 or 4 hermits in the woods that haven't seen it...and one might be a turner...;)).

The best handicap I've ever maintained was a 9. Did it twice. Once when I was 16...then "discovered" girls, and golf fell to the wayside. Then again in my mid/late 30's when I actually got to play twice a week for a season. Haven't touched a club since last fall, and looks like it will be Spring before my next opportunity. Maybe someday I'll have more time for the links to play seriously again. I envy you for being able to get out 3 times a week (and to afford it!). Around here, we have fantastic courses, but the average greens fees for them are in the $75-120 range. There are the "cow pasture" courses, but I've never really been a fan...

[Larry Marley]

I have enjoyed all the comments....



Which is nice...
