Soccer for clueless Americans , The Oaks makes good,

 I'm always a little surprised when I look to see who in their right mind reads this meaningless blog about a little town in Wisconsin.  This is from the last 3 days 


 

Not many Russians anymore  LOL

Had an issue while golfing at The Oaks Wednesday night in league. The ranger REALLY pissed off our foursome and sort of ruined our rounds. I have been beat up a few times because I will not back down to bullies - dealt with that all the way through school and I WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.  

Well - I gave the owner of The Oaks/Kestrel Ridge an earfull with a few obscenities and they agreed with our complaint.  It's all good now but have you ever tried golfing when you are LIVID and want to beat up somebody?  LOL  ( drives went far). 

It's all been ironed out.  It had to do with 1 person in carts. There are 4 or 5 of us with bad knees or just old. We don't know who will be in our foursome from week to week so we can't really plan on WHO to share carts with.  WELL we were SCREAMED at for only have 1 player in a cart and what REALLY ticked me off was when I asked how to fix the GPS and the ranger said I DON'T CARE!   

AGAIN - it's all good now - maybe HE was having a bad day and wanted to share!  The owners of the Oaks and Kestrel Ridge are doing a MAGNIFICANT job on both course  truly.

The old owner of Kestrel was a slum lord who did nothing.  Now Kestrel is getting a VERY good reputation.   

BTW - Kestrel Ridge has a GREAT Patty Melt and really good cod with outside seating and music on Friday nights!!  

-----------------

We watched Ted Lasso and then watched Season 1 of Return to Wrexham.  I was NEVER a soccer fan - ZIP ZERO - but after watching these two shows I see it's NOT just 20 people chasing a ball - there is actually strategy for every position and every zone on the pitch (field).  It's more like chess actually. 

Check out Season 2 trailer 

     

You might say - I still have no clue about this truly beautiful sport - watch this vid before making a decision



It's opening day in the Premier League today - first game at 2:00  DJ and I will be in front of the TV!! 

BTW - "SOCCER" is NOT an American word - it's an English word for Association Football!! 

In the 1880s there was  Rugby Football (rugby) and Association Football (called Assoccer, which was shortened to soccer ) But when Rugby dropped "football" Assoccer became just "Football".  But when America combined rugby and assoccer they called it "football" and now Assoccer became soccer.

OK - mow the lawn day!!  Cheers
