Life, golf, and etc

I've been staying in a compound right by the beach for the past month or so. Aside from the really good surfer kids I've posted about before, there are also some other kids who I watch over every now and then. I like them. They can be really bratty sometimes, but otherwise they are good, fun kids to be around.

This afternoon, after a very minor incident, I saw the mom of one of the kids drag her son up and start beating him with a stick. I'm not talking about a little stick, it was a big one. I know how much those sticks hurt because they're for martial arts and I've taken those classes on how to use them, etcetera. Anyhow, the poor boy ended up stripped naked, standing naked outside on the road. I went out and put a towel on him and brought him inside. Iced his welts from the stick and put some cream on them so they won't hurt too much, hopefully. I brought him out on the beach with me afterwards. He's all right now and was in good spirits.

I don't know why but I've seen at least a couple other such cases and have had to interfere and try to get things okay with everyone before. It's a heart breaking situation to see another person beating someone else, and what more- hearing and seeing the person being beaten. Both ways it is completely heart breaking.


On the lighter side:

Todd aces same hole on 2 straight days

ATHENS, Ga. (AP)—Brendon Todd made Nationwide Tour history by making a hole-in-one at the same hole for the second straight day at the Athens Regional Foundation Classic.

The former Georgia All-American aced the 147-yard 17th hole on Friday, using an 8-iron during the second round at the Jennings Mill Country Club course.

“It’s still hard to believe,” Todd said after posting a 1-under 71. “It’s a bit surreal, even now.”

During Thursday’s opening round, Todd used a 7-iron when the hole played 157 yards and he finished with a 4-under 68. He is 5-under for the $550,000 event.

Todd is the first player in the 20-year history of the tour to ace the same hole twice in the same tournament.

“I had just come off a bogey and so I wasn’t in a great mood when I stepped on the tee. I wasn’t even thinking about making it,” he said. “It was a perfect yardage and I flagged it. It looked pretty good in the air and then landed about 4 feet short and left of the hole and rolled in the back of the cup. I guess I played the break perfectly.”

The last player to ace the same hole twice in the same tournament was Graham Marsh in the first and third rounds of the 2004 Senior British Open.

Yusaku Miyazato (2006), Bob Tway (1994), Glen Day (1994), Jack Rule (1964) and Bill Whedon (1955) are the only players in modern PGA Tour history to record two aces in a single event. Miyazato and Whedon are the only ones to do it in the same round.
