Bogey Lagger has been working diligently on his golf game, lately. Today, it seems, the work paid off. Playing with Bill Fogarty, Don Schuster, and Butch Berry, Bogey Lagger shot a 79 from the white tees at Mt. Whitney Golf Club.

I played golf on Saturday, teeing off at 8:15 a.m. It was a beautiful morning. In fact I could have teed off much earlier.

I ran into Bill Fogarty out there. He caught up with me on the eighth hole. We finished the front 9 together. He’s 88 years old and still quite spry. It seems as if golf is good for your health in the later years. I also saw Al Aigner out there. He is 94. You be the judge.

I’m working to get my game back. Consistency is difficult. I shot 88.

After golfing I went to Ridgecrest to watch Gregory, Nicholas and Brad play baseball (practice games in their pre-season). Gregory plays a double header on Sunday. Sunday’s games will be Advanced Baseball League (ABL) which is basically like a club sport. ABL picks the best players from the league, and they play most of the year, playing teams from other cities.

While watching the games, Edward played at my feet.

Sandi is in Redding for an education conference. She will be back on Sunday night.

Par putt? Bogey lag it.

Sandi and I returned from Long Beach, late last night. Yesterday was a day of fun and business. Sandi was able to do some shopping prior to her appointment, but once 2:00 p.m. came around, it was rather hectic - from the doctor to the hospital - tests and paperwork, blah . . . blah . . . blah . . .

One interesting point - the wind was blowing hard when we left Lone Pine. You could see the dust rising from Owens Lake and billowing high into the atmosphere. We traveled to Long Beach and spent the night there. Upon rising our car was covered with fine dust. I wonder if that could be the dust from Owens Lake or the valley in general.

I played golf today. I kept thinking I just couldn’t get things done, but once I finished I discovered that I shot an 86 (42 front and 44 back). What I did right was putting - not a single 3-putt and 28 putts total.

I started playing golf this month. Today was my sixth round. I started a little slow, but finished with 39 on the second 9.Sandi is having surgery on March 13th to repair her left knee. Cadaver parts are being used (tendon and knee cap). Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Gardening-wise, it’s time to get started again. I’ve been cutting trees in the front. Locust trees have grown up around the apple, pear and plum trees. They’ve got to go. They also produce nice fence posts. Anything straight and eight feet long gets saved for a fence post.

Marjianne and the boys are on the road to Ridgecrest (80 miles to the South) quite a bit for baseball season. Their season goes from February to December. They get January off. Brad, who is 9 years old is 5′ 7″ and 150 lbs. They are estimating 7 ft. tall as an adult. He is quite the ball player in his age group. When he goes to the plate to bat, you can hear mumbling in the stands about his birth certificate. Gregory is older but a little smaller. His estimate is 6′ 6″. He is really the better player. Nicholas is just getting started. Aspens’ son, Cory also plays in the same league.

The youngest, Edward Roy Yonge, is 2 and quite the character. If he doesn’t like what you have to say, he points his finger at you and lets out a little, “Unh!” He is addicted to cartoons “Cars,” “Toy Story,” and “Toy Story 2.”

Well, I guesst that’s my start. Remember, if you have a par putt, Bogey Lag it.
