Interesting: News-Gazette story 5/11 said Coach and team checked out Stanford Golf Course last fall (during Pebble Beach/Cypress trip). I think rules say you can't play a course within a year of regional or national. At least they got to see the course. Smart, Coach Small, thinking your team...

Per Illinois golf website a few minutes ago: Jackson, Max, Ryan, Tyler, Piercen, Ethan (alternate).

It's now 5 p.m. No word on team and alternate (s?). Other schools have announced, but not Illinois. I don't understand; the regional starts tomorrow. The team is certainly in Palo Alto. I'm sure the team will be announced soon after my post. That's the way things go with my timing. I hope so...

Watching replay of Cubs-Brewers game. I say there's a lot of talent on that there Cubs team, especially the fielding. Long season, though. If there's anything more exciting in sports than a play at the plate in baseball, I'd like to know what it is.

Surely, you got me in the mood to watch this movie today. A classic.

We need an insider to report live from Atkins. With a cart and binoculars from the cart path. By the way, the coach told me players "earn" spots; doesn't matter if you're a senior, fifth-year or a freshman.

Audrey and Cookie. What a day! Where's Grover in "Chariots of Fur"? This portal thing is not a sprint but a long haul. Go the distance.

I will always like (love) a post featuring Audrey. Thanks.

A college golf coach told me yesterday that recent performance is the main thing, obviously. But if some players are "struggling", there may be "qualifiers" - a round or rounds - to determine who plays as a team or as individuals. Seems to be the best, fairest way to choose. I wonder what's...

Secretly, I've never grown up as far as the Cubs of my childhood and youth are concerned. Heroes forever.

Hey! Hey!

I'm looking for a scapegoat. Found one: Curt Flood! He's to blame! (Never would knock Mr. Flood, No. 21, great Cardinals' CF. I say that as a Cubs' fan who lived in St. Louis as a kid in the 60s). Just wondering: what's to stop recruits like Fears and Morez from de-commiting? Nothing. Change...

One question: what the heck is a "beverage bat", and how can I get one? Love that block I, and I drink many beverages. GO I-N-I!

Just heard about his passing. I remember his 1967 season when he could only pitch on weekends because he was in the National Guard. Saw him at Wrigley Field. His record that summer? 9-0. Yes, U of Illinois and University City High School, St. Louis. Thanks and RIP, Ken.

Man, Maryland +94! I could have done that all by myself even without several mulligans and foot wedges. Sorry Terps. Congratulations, Jackson!
