The Canadian PGA Radio Show and Marybear’s playoffs
TED BITS, Ted McIntyre - THE CANADIAN PGA RADIO SHOW AND MARYBEAR’S PLAYOFFS
I was invited to be a guest of the Canadian PGA Radio Show this past Saturday morning to chat about our freshly released Top 50 Ontario Golf Courses (Top 100 online). Hosted by the CPGA’s Jeff Dykeman and golf scribe Garry McKay, the show airs for 30 weeks through the golf season on Hamilton-based Talk 820 AM. I think I was actually competent this time around (I usually succumb to nerves on these types of shows, possibly brought on by the fact that I’m thoroughly convinced I don’t know what I’m talking about.) But I think this one went OKâlikely due to the fact that McKay is very bright and very funny, and Dykeman is a real pro as a radio host. Turns out I was actually the show’s first studio guest in 29 weeks. Course architect Ian Andrew was supposed to be the first a few weeks back, but he forgot about it, enabling me to make history, seeing as this is the virgin season for the show and all. Strategically, I tried to set the bar really low so that all that follow will sound exceptional by comparison. Saturday’s show isn’t loaded on the CPGA’s website yet, but if you want to listen, look for it soon here. And if you want to listen in to the show’s final edition for 2009, it runs from 10-11 a.m. Saturday morning on Talk 820 AM in Southern Ontario.
OUT AT THIRD
Good friend Daryl Puffer supplies the following images from my significant other’s playoffs a couple weekends back. Mary (aka Marybear) applied a quick tag at third base after a throw from left-centre field. In the first image below, if you look carefully you can see Mary’s glove under the baserunner’s left leg before she touches the bag (it’s a weird photo angle since only a few of Mary’s appendages are visible, including her leg on the base). The ump missed the call, however. (Clearly you should have shown these pictures to the umpire earlier, Daryl!)
