Boring times so maybe a highlight or 2. Usual hour workout at 9 am. Went out and swing the Superspeed clubs and my driver .

colej depending on WHERE you get it put, it really doesn't hurt.

No thanks! 🙅😂

Don’t want to make a separate thread but today one of my friends that comes to indoor golf had his endoscopy exam so he didn’t come by.

Later he calls me to tell me they found esophageal cancer and has a year to live. I still don’t know what to say when I see him. I see him 3 mornings a week at indoor golf… he brings me coffee and we hit balls.

Walterjn

Typhoon holy fuck man. I'm sorry to hear that!

Subsonic

Typhoon I think sometimes just being there is powerful. The words or lack of words will work itself out. Prayers sent for you both.

Tough gut punch for you both. I don't know if getting a second opinion is in order but it might be something for him to consider.

Sorry. I had a good friend go through that..... Just be his friend.

Eguller Yeah, not much to say. He knows he has it, you know he has it, and he knows that you know. It won't get talked about much between you. You'll be the same as always. Unless he's like my brother was and starts throwing in those 'they don't wanna fuck with a dead man', when guys were assing off on the course.
My brother got the '6 months' deal. It turned into 1.5 years. Science can do a lot of things, sometimes just overnight.
Treat him as normal.

Typhoon So sorry to hear that

Sarnella

Just be there for him - no need to say anything. Thoughts
and prayers for you both.

Typhoon

Thanks guys… yeah, tomorrow will be tough when he shows up with a couple clubs and coffee just like any other day, but it’ll be the “elephant in room”. I’m thinking we’ll just be normal with each other but I’ll always be thinking what’s going through his mind. He loves golf so much and this winter he wanted to improve a ton for next year.

KCee

Typhoon Oh man that sucks. You do never know though. A few docs said no way my dad would reach 70 and he'll be 80 come January.

darpar

Typhoon . I’m thinking we’ll just be normal with each

Probably the best way to deal with this....he'll let you know if more needs to be said.

Sarnella

The doctors gave me 6 months in April of 2007. PTL

garyt1957

Sarnella wow. That's fantastic!

garyt1957

darpar. I don't know, I think I'd ask if he wanted to talk or should I just shut up. I think it'd be too uncomfortable to just ignore it

Typhoon

So today is rain all day🤬. My plans of renting a dethatcher to do a better job on the lawn are gone until I have a day off.

Right now I’m moving in the winter clothes and moving out the summer clothes. Appointment at 3 with a lawyer to go over my MIL’s trust and gets Wills going for my wife and I. Then off to the gym at 5 or 6

November 26, 2024 it is. 😝

garyt1957

Typhoon I got excited for you when you said appointment at 3 with a lawyer till I realized it wasn't a divorce attorney

Typhoon

Apparently I can control the weather with one phone call to the hardware store to cancel my dethatcher reservation. Supposed to rain all day but after the call it has stopped 🙄and is just misty.

Just be there for him. Had two good golf buddies who died a year apart from glioblastoma brain cancer (John McCain and Ted Kennedy died from this brain cancer).

One of the guys when he stopped playing golf, I’d drive him to the same outdoor on the water restaurant for lunch every Friday. And some of the golf group would meet us there.

He was a good golfer, but never had a hole in one. His last day playing we spent a little while on a short par three to give him a few last tries at one. Lol

Heart doctor said all looked good at my annual checkup this morning. Naturally told me to keep losing weight.

Working and inhaling the wonderful smell of a roast beef cooking in the crockpot. I guess it should really be called braised beef in that context, but then no one would know what it's supposed to be. Got church after supper tonight.
