  Hoping for caduceus tee markers . . . . .associated (mistakenly) with healing, esp. in the U.S.

   "The caduceus is the traditional symbol of Hermes and features two snakes winding around an often winged staff. It is often mistakenly used as a symbol of medicine instead of the Rod of Asclepius."

  The staff of Hermes is way cooler-looking (imho) than the Rod of Asclepius, but I'd take either one!  

  (Look 'em up!)

  In todays civilian society, the caduceus,  is mainly used for medical staff, in a controlled facility.  Mostly by doctors and nurses, adopted because it was associated with wisdom.  

  The star of life, which contains the Rod of Asciepius,  is used by field medical professionals.  Theirs being an uncontrolled enviornment, to include your first responders and emts.

  Interesting, LuckyStar.
  
  We are also on Pebble. I see Blood and Fire playing Pinehurst. Not sure what else besides the Par 5's though.

  We started on PH followed by BOP5 B9.

  As to Craig's tale, I've been there.  Nothing like an HIO on an otherwise crappy round.  At least in clashes, an eagle = 2 birdies, so it is more than 1 stroke.

  I have a question for anyone who can help me.  I am wondering if WGT players who are not associated with a CC and therefore cannot Clash still get their pass renewed every 4 hours instead of the regular 12 hour period.  Or is this perk only for people in Clubs who are participating in the Clash?

  Thanks,

  Tim

  Crazy.  Sounds like one of my rounds, minus the HIO.

  Congrats on the HIO!  Always fun to do that in a Clash (or so I imagine).
