Like many of you, over the years we keep adding boxes to our audio/video system. It used to be an antenna to get TV and the sound came out of the speakers. Then came cable.

The first is a scramble (you each hit and pick the best shot to play next then you both hit from there); the second is a best-ball (you each play your own ball and the low score counts on each hole); the final round is alternate shot (the team only plays one ball and the players alternate shots. One guys tees off on the odd numbered holes; the other on the evens). Got it? So what’s the business thinking? Continue reading →
