THE LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR

Reference books indicate that the summer soltice, June 21, is the longest day of the year. I have proof that the longest day is actually the 2nd day of the Moonshine Tournament.

After several 14 hours days preparing for the two day tournament, followed by a 15 hour 1st day of the tournament, after I have caught a cold (which seems a little ironic in light of the fact that the temperature is over 30 outside and 35 inside the clubhouse) and after too few hours of sleep and a raging fever and sore throat, I can attest that the longest day EVER is July 22. I've been here 12 hours already and have 3 more to go. But what will also add to the agony is the contreversy surrounding the championship flight.

It's a grand saga involving 11 men, disqualifications, disgruntled members, angry participants. I would have to stay another 2 hours beyond the 3 I will put in so we won't give you all the details. But the interesting thing the the top flight prizes include 2 cheap golf bags, a BBQ utensil set and a garden hose. Countries have gone to war for less. Wish me luck.
