(It's a ...) Micro World (... after all): golf

Fore!

Problem is, I don't think I can guarantee what the "probable line of flight" my ball will take. Why does it matter? I'm taking part in a local Knights of Columbus organized golf tournament. The charity, in part, helps the school of which I am a school board member. So, a couple of guys from work, and myself are taking part in the tournament and I have never played a round. Ever. EVER. Sure I've swung my clubs, a couple of times, at the driving range ... but I have a feeling that the driving range and the course are two different beasts.

Let the fun begin.

Who is this joker?

Thomas Joseph
Professionally I am a bug hunter (aka microbiologist) and a gene jockey (aka molecular biologist). I started my career as a med tech, but now I'm a research scientist who studies environmental microbiology. When I'm not answering scientific questions about the roles that microbes play on climate change and/or water and soil quality, I'm an amateur astronomer and play racquetball. I'm also a sports nut, though my liking of both the NY Metropolitans (baseball) and NY Jets (football) tests my devotion to these sports on a continual basis. Fortunately, I'm also an OU alumnus (PhD, Microbiology) and we usually have a pretty good football team. Boomer Sooner!
