Rick on the 3rd tee

We cannot decide if this is a heavy mist, a drizzle, or a light rain.

In the mist. After extensive negotiation, the skins bet is back on.

Call for submissions: Michigan Mitten Movies

Since we have a surfeit of fine movie making talent at camp (see classics like the wildly popular "Brian's Special Friend",the documentary "Expedition to the Pole", the award winning "Marvelous Adventures of D.U.M.B.", the experimental cinéma vérité ' "Doggiegate", the musical "Anthem", or even the time and space bending hallucinogenic meta movie within a movie featured at the top of this post), I would hope that Shag Lake will be represented in the Grand Rapids Michigan Film Festival contest...

Michigan Movie Clips:
"Aspiring auteurs will be reaching for their Michigan road maps and consulting the local chamber of commerce as they prepare entries for a film making competition being held in conjunction with this year's Michigan Film Festival in Grand Rapids.

All submitted short films (10 minutes or less) must contain a reference to a location in Michigan's Lower Peninsula and the location must be mentioned by a character who points to it while using his or her hand as a representational map of the state. In addition, each film must include some kind of reference to the Upper Peninsula and must incorporate a Michigan-owned business into a scene or line of dialogue."

Fire up those camcorders.

Dispatch from Shag Lake: Mushrooms on parade

Clearly all the rain is having a positive effect on the local Shag 'shroom supply.

What is not clear to me from these pictures is whether the current camp residents are actually eating their fungal finds.

Dispatch from Shag Lake: Spider's eye view on a foggy morning

RAC sends this Shag Lake photo essay of a pretty amazing spider web on the dock.

That is one industrious spider. Apparently the critter chose to remain incognito for this shoot.

19th hole

Phone has recharged. Bob and I are having a beer and burger.Not sure what happened to the Zwicker twins. I suspect they slinked home in shame after their humiliating performance.

BP - 85
MW - 99
RZ - 101
AZ - 110

We pushed on the 18th hole press so I still owed Bob 7 skins. I may have to start practicing again.

Tonto on the 16th tee

God knows what kind of microscopic vermin is crawling around on that feather. Posted by Bob, who is picking up the slack with Blackberry since the the Pre is down and out of juice.

Adams approach on 4...

...after a very nice tee shot. Nice, but not as nice as mine, visible in this pic 20 yards ahead.

This may be my last post on the course, as I forgot to charge the Pre and it is almost out of juice.
