Hope and the Humana

I play golf here. For a long time they have sponsored a golf tournament. It used to be called The Bob Hope Classic. It's been taken over by Bill Clinton's foundation The Humana. So now they call it The Humana. Wouldn't Hope and Humana have been good or Hope for Humana or Humana and Hope. With a name like Hope there are so many possibilities. I wonder why they dropped the best part. Maybe the young people don't know who Bob Hope was. Such a travesty.
 

That's me standing in front of the Humana sign. I asked a bystander to snap the pic. I have no pride. LOL


There remain elements of Bob Hope such as his golf cart. Isn't that priceless.


There were a lot of his saying posted as well. Here are a few of my favorites:

 "Arnold Palmer told me how I could cut eight strokes off my score. Skip one of the Par 3's."

You gotta love the humor but if that's not enough then try the view.

It just doesn't get any better.

All in a Days Work

Before I had even awakened and gotten out of bed yesterday, Rick had hit a hole in one. #2 at Witch Hollow.


I think this is his fifth but everyone of them is total joy, amazement, delight, surprise...all of the above. It means he buys the round of brews for his team mates, thank you very much. It means he gets his name in the paper. It means he gets some cash from the hole in one club. It means hole in one club members get a drink on the house, well sort of. It means he gets to write a big #1 on his score card for the hole. (Helps the score for sure.) And best of all, if only for one day, water walking seems really possibly.
