I'm leaving for Ft. Worth for the annual Christmas party that I play for at Shady Oaks Country Club. It's my best job of the year.
For you golfers, the ghost of Mr. Hogan walks the halls. His old locker, filled with his clothes, clubs, balls, tees, coins, etc., is just the way he left it. Sort of eerie, but neat to see.
I believe it will be too cold to play golf this weekend though. They always invite me to play, expenses paid! I always say I'll come back when the weather is nicer, but I never seem to get around to it. It's about a four-hour drive from here, and all the way across Dallas and on Friday that's not pleasant!
Later,

Looks like a nice place

Guess that you will be playing here:

or here

Not sure which room. They changed it from last year, but I believe it IS the one overlooking the course.

or maybe here?

Then it should be #1 or #3.

Sorry, This was posted twice Nigel.

Don, make them include a room for you and Susan and spend a day or two there but not in July or August. Passing through there years ago on the way to New Orleans before I met you it was the hottest city that I've ever spent a day in. I would never believe that it would get to 111 degrees but it did. I don't even remember there ever being a 100 degrees in New Orleans. The hottest I remember in NO is 99. Am I wrong? Oops I forgot that was Dallas!!

Hi DonM Iam newbie here but I wish I were there. I'm a golf junkie! An amazing golf venue and the history to boot. Good luck with your gig.
