Ed had only one section meeting Friday at UCSB. So he caught another section meeting on Thursday
and left Thursday night for Phoenix, arriving about an hour before Ben got in from East Brunswick, NJ
and Gary arrived from San Diego. The weather was perfect for golf all weekend.

  
Ben shot his best round Saturday, getting a birdie on the par five 18th hole. Ed was
competitive all weekend, but wasn't driving as well as he had been in the summer of 1998.

The starting time Sunday morning was 8:30. Air was crisp and cool with just a
hint of a breeze. This is the first tee on the Geronimo course, 520 yards par 5. The
green is just to the right of Ed's left shoulder in the picture on the right. Notice the
good form on both golfers, left arm nearly straight with right elbow tucked in close
to the side..

Ben making a good shot under very difficult conditions -- deep in the trap 8 feet
below a narrow green. The ball is coming to rest about 3 feet to the left of the
cup. Ed's head is barely visible. He's standing in the trap to the left. Ben has
just completed his swing and is visible to the right of the flag stick. This is the 17th
green on the Geronimo course.

Portrait of two happy golfers about to tee off on the 15th hole of the Geronimo course.

Ed shows real concentration (and nearly perfect form)
blasting out of a difficult lie on the 15th hole of the
Geronimo course.

Ben and Ed pose with a bronze Geronimo above the 18th green of the Geronimo
course. The end of a nearly perfect golf weekend.
