Welcome, friends, to the first salvo of The Hosel Rocket, a quasi-daily, pseudo-informational, and highly unauthorized publication serving the golfing cognescenti of Las Colinas Country Club.
How It Works
When you plan on playing, please indicate your game(s) of choice for that weekend (sorry, Dray. Golf only - no Gin) by clicking on the voting button(s) to the right. The click on the small envelope option, register your email address, and send me a quick "I'm in" message with the day(s) and times you plan to play so I will have your name for the tee sheet. Comments can also be added if and when the spirit moves you.
As per our current protocol, your requests should be logged to the site by 5:00 PM CST each Tuesday for the following weekend's play. When all Saturday & Sunday times have been confirmed with the Golf Shop, they'll be posted to the site by Friday morning, along with that weekend's pairings.
Links to The Links
As you'll also see to the right, I've established a partial list of golf-related links for the group. If there is a web site that you find particularly useful and entertaining (sorry, Tim. Golf only), then send the link my way and I'm glad to add it to the list.
To Subscribe
Now, let me turn things over to our subscriptions department. If you click the Posts link under SUBSCRIBE, you can create a hyperlink on your internet explorer tool bar that will allow you to go right to The Rocket with but one click of the mouse.
Use the link to communicate your weekly requests for play, keep up on current events at LCCC, or pass along content that you'd like me to share with the group, and I'll copy/paste/post ASAP.
Weather or Not
If you're not sure if the weather is fit for a game of golf or cards, check the link at the bottom of the page before you head out to LCCC for our local weather forecast, updated continuously by the good folks at www.weather.com.
Finally, feedback will not only be tolerated, but encouraged, so please send along any thoughts you might have that could make this site more valuable, informative, and entertaining for all of us.
Thanks!

Thanks Scott, I love this, but any 'hosel rocket' home page MUST have a picture of the victorious 'red hats' after our dominating performace last month...Jim Q
Nice work Scooter, i have been trying to sign in & vote for over an hour - still dont know if i did it right. i am hyperbloglink challenged. Lester
NIce work Scotty. You are Mr. Technology! Now if you could work on the weather for Christmas Eve we would appreciate it!
Scott, if we sign up for golf on a given day and then have to back out (i.e. got paired with Dray and decided not to play), is there a way to do that?
Bob et al: In regard to changes of plans, I do not believe there is a way to retract a vote. The best way would be to simply click the envelope icon and send me a quick "can't make it on Saturday/Sunday AM/PM.
Thanks.
