Was I ever wrong.....

6:23 pm - Monday - July 18th - Likely, CA -  90° F, 18% humidity, wind 15 mph out of the west.....partly cloudy right now....the high was 95° F.....love how quickly it begins to cool after 5 pm!  On this date in 2015 TLE and I were attending the wedding of my brother Philip's daughter Danielle to Miguel.....↴


With my brother Dwyer

Sunday was the day of the 4th round of The Open, and it was also a work day for TLE and I.  There is a TV in the Clubhouse always tuned into golf 7 days per week, so I was able to drop in several times throughout the morning to see what was happening. As I said in my post about Saturday we, along with most of the civilized world, thought it would be a battle between Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland (both 16 under par) down to the wire, but Cam Smith and Cam Young (12 under par) had other ideas.....Cam Smith birdied 5 holes in succession, and ultimately posted an 8 under par day (final score = 20 under par), and Cam Young a 7 under par for the day. Viktor Hovland ended up 2 over par for the round (-14 for the tournament), and Rory McIlroy ended up 2 under par for the day finishing at 18 under par, but went from first to third place as both Cam's leap frogged over the leaders to take 1st (Cam Smith), and 2nd (Cam Young).....a great ending to a great tournament.  It is a pretty rare thing for someone to come from 4 strokes down in round 4 of a major tournament to win, but Cam Smith did so, and was clearly the best player that day.  Was I ever wrong.....lol!
 
I think I forgot to mention we drove into Alturas Saturday for our weekly shopping, and to fill up the VW tank with Premium Unleaded.....the price had decreased from a few weeks ago down to $5.39/gallon at the Indian casino.

We stopped off at Rite Aid where I purchased another market umbrella for use at the 'Cart Return' area.....nice to have a little shade there with temps edging into the mid 90's on a daily basis now......



......I had 12 carts to clean first thing Sunday left over from Saturday's tournament.  I ended up washing 18 carts in the afternoon for a total of 30 carts washed in all.  It was a busy day, and was I ever glad to be heading home at 3 pm at the temps edged up to 97° F.

Thanks for stopping by!
