Lonnie played in the Club Championship golf tournament this weekend. He played well, but it's really hard to beat the sandbaggers. He did, however, win both days on the contest to see who could hit a ball closest to a line they had marked down the fairway ... his ball landed dead center on the line both times.
Beaverbrook Country Club is now Daingerfield Country Club, and the new owner, Mitch Cox, promises to make it the best 9-hole course in East Texas. He has really improved the looks of the place (although I hate that they took out so many trees). This will most likely be the last tournament where just anything goes. I hope so.
Yesterday evening after all the golfers were through playing, the club provided a Mexican food buffet, catered by
Don Juan's in Hughes Springs.
The entertainment was a guy named Matthew Marcus McDaniel, lead singer of a band called
Thieves of SunRise. I had never heard of him or the band, but he did a really good job. He sang a few familiar oldies, but mostly songs that he and the other band members had written. The one I liked best was about New Orleans. When he finished, I bought one of their CDs and had him autograph it for me (the pic at left appears on the CD). Their music reminds me of the Black Crowes. The New Orleans song isn't on this album, but Matthew says it'll be on the next one, so watch for it.
