The farther you get toward the spring, the harder it is to see the big bulls. They form bachelor groups and sort of keep to themselves.

Earnings have been good, but we're priced for perfection. The bulls want a stronger wine to keep the party going.

That's the biggest difference, that I'm hitting it so much farther and harder. My putting is just as good, but it's been sporadic this year, which is interesting. I normally don't putt that way. This year is one of those weird years where I either putt great or I don't putt well at all.

The farther you go down south, the more likely it is you get into the big rain.

All of the sudden these people know more about our area than we do. They form all these groups and committees and tell everyone what they're going to do for the community.

The nice thing for the Bulls is that we are a side for the big occasions. The bigger the occasion, the more we rise. Saturday will be a test of character and guts and we need to show what we are worth. For that reason I'm taking charge of the forwards this week. We have a few things planned, and we could have a surprise or two for the Sharks.
