Man Up

Through the wonders of digital photography, I've cobbled together a couple of slideshows to the right depicting two groups of faces only their mothers could love.

Goody and Phil, since I didn't have any pictures of you in my digital archives, the two black and whites were the most appropriate facsimiles I could find. Nellie, your stand-in was photographed two years ago during a tour of the Coliseum (the one in Rome, not Nassau County), a highly effeminate Spartacus who took a shine both to me and my wife's purse.

If the three of you would like me to replace your respective avatars with an authentic mug shot, please send one to me via email. In the mean time, its only fair to warn you that the Texans are getting their game faces on, as depicted in the following video taken from the surveillance camera at the Las Colinas CC pro shop.

Cupdate #2 - Accommodations

The rate/person for the four-night stay will be $337.50. At your convenience, please mail a check in said amount to:

Chris Wenning

Other Updates
We should have an update within the next two weeks on courses and tee times. Also, those flying into HHI area airports are asked to send me their flight information so that the Tournament Committee can faciliate ground transportation requirements.

Please let me know if you have any questions in the interim. Thanks.

"Cupdate" #1

Gentlemen:

Pursuant to my email of earlier today, I wanted to introduce you to a simple blog that I've put together for our upcoming adventures.

As information is updated on the trip (i.e., courses, tee times, accommodations, etc.), I will post the information to this site. If you click the link on the upper left entitled Follow and record your email address, you will automatically receive updates as they are posted.

In setting up the rosters for Team Georgia and Team Texas in the column to the right, I've added a hyperlink on each name corresponding with your respective email addresses, making it easier for you to fire off a quick note to one another.

See HHI Links for links to the course we'll be playing, local weather conditions, and the 2010 Verizon Heritage Classic, which will likely play second fiddle to The Dixie Cup. If you have a web site that you think is worth posting, send me the URL and I will add it to the list.

Lastly, the Golf Ticker at the bottom of the page will provide a continuous stream of news from the world of golf and the Heritage Classic.

I hope you guys find the site informative, and please pass along any comments that would make it more valuable.

Thanks.

Scott
