Down River and The Bluff''s Hackers
The Bluffs Happenins’
11-4-2025 Rita and I are still in PA but are busy closing up the house and packing. We will arriving to the Kingdom on Thursday Nov 6th just in time for the Hackers reunion at The Bluffs on Sat Nov 8th. I can't wait since it's too damn cold in PA
12-25-2025 I really must apologize to y’all for not updating the “Happenins’” before now but life has been hectic the last couple of months. It is Christmas mornin’ and Rita is busy preparing a dinner for my sister and husband so I have some free time this morning.
We did return to Florida as planned and the Bluffs reunion on 11/8. Florida’s weather has been spectacular although extremely dry. We have been playing every Tuesday and Saturday since we returned and our numbers are slowly increasing from 5 to 6 up to 8 to 10 players as the snowbirds are coming back to roost. We hope to get that number up to 12 to 16 once the season gets into full swing.

As you can see, Eddie O has started making the trek up from Babcock Ranch for the Tuesday rounds and Tim Wood has returned from Virginia and will not be moving around this winter. Speaking of Tim, on December 20 he had an eagle on the 18th hole at The Bluffs …drove the green and sank a 3 foot putt.!!!
Hap was able to come out in Nov and play 9 holes…had 3 pars.
Ned is the last of the Bedford gang…we expect him in Jan 4 or 5 and will have to get him in shape for the $5 games
As for the course, it is in pretty good shape considering the weather. We have been enjoying sunny skies and perfect temps for golf but Southwest Florida is under a severe drought warning and has been for several weeks…the fairways and ruffs are very dry and the greens are slowly recovering from some upgrades that were done this summer.
