The morning air was just right. The gloom, still and dark. The pax, ready to wake up and get started. The Q, a little disappointed with the number 7, but that is only a small adjustment to make. An explanation and disclaimer about fault and danger was given, then the invitation to modify or quit as required. Once all the boxes were checked it was time to mosey on.

  • Partner 1 sits in an air chair while 
  • Partner 2 carries a rock up the hill to deposit it at the chains and returns to swap places with partner 1

  • Both partners run together to the chains 
  • Everyone carries their rock to the 3rd tee box

STUDY NOTES 

• YHC noticed that mumblechatter was flowing well in the gloom this morning. 
• The rising sun provided a beautiful backlight to this morning’s piledriver efforts. Everyone got a little muddy, a little damp in the dew, and a lot winded from time to time. 
• Cotters to Booyah! It’s always good to see a brother return to the gloom. Too bad he had to carry YHC in the partner carries. 

TAP 

• Our thoughts and prayers are with the students and the families devastated by the horrible events at UNCC last week 
• Our thoughts and prayers are with our brother Tough Skins while he travels to comfort his friend whose father is injured in a farming incident.
