Scotland Via Evansville, IN?

First things first: little Lymon has abandoned her/his namesake. Laurie is in Week 13 of her pregnancy and the little one is now about the size of of small peach. So, we are changing the name to "Georgia." Little Georgia is growing at an alarming rate. This period of the pregnancy is when Laurie's appetite picks up due to the demand for calories (especially protein) for the rapidly expanding Georgia. For the Breckinridge County crew, you will probably notice a physical change in Laurie when you see her at Melissa and Ronnie's wedding this weekend. She is starting to show just the slightest bit. We took a "belly picture" (clothed, of course) but she looks almost normal, so we'll wait another month or so and then compare.


Secondly, my latest summer travels took me on a trip to Evansville, Indiana, with my friend Brice Boyer. On Sunday, we played a course that does not exactly fit in with the typical Midwestern landscape. The Cambridge Golf Club is a beautiful, Scottish links-style golf course carved out of a mammoth Indiana corn field. Think Field of Dreams, golf style. It was VERY challenging due to its wild undulations, pot bunkers, long gourse, and windy conditions. It was also neat that they did not move a ton of earth to build this course as is evident in the picture. One could almost pretend that they were at St. Andrews or Royal Troon. Of course, playing the old course at St. Andrews in Scotland costs 120 British pounds (that's $221!!!) for 18 holes. I got onto Cambridge in Evansville, IN, for the economical rate of $31. Hooray, corn!
