Well today was the most unexpected day of the week yet. I know. After seeing famous legendary golfers up close and getting a birthday photo with an NHL hot shot, how could it get any better?
You've heard the phrase that even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. Well, even a frisky fox finds a golf ball sometimes. And once in awhile, even a nearby photographer captures it – and people end up liking it!
I didn't even share in yesterday's blog that the morning anchor from one of the area TV news stations asked if it was OK if they used my picture from Tuesday's U.S. Senior Open of the fox trying to fetch the golf ball in the practice round. I sent it to her and didn't think anything of it.
Then on my early morning social feed, I see they shared it. By end of day...
Yup 5,000 likes or loves or Wows on their Facebook post – plus 1,000 shares. That's why one of the evening anchor dudes tracked me down today. He said my picture was blowing up their Facebook page and they wanted to hear my story behind the picture. Well, you got the inside scoop on Tuesday, so I told it to them.
There is a story on their website at Fox Hole Story. But no video, which is fine, after what aired at 9 and 10 tonight.
Just a little crazy, right? On the flip side, I'm glad they're giving a ton of coverage to this tournament.
Even my cousins appeared on TV, upper right. Pretty sure our house isn't large enough for more than one big head. Sorry, guys!
Thankfully, I had time to wander the course a bit between morning tee times. Here's a few snapshots from the rest of the day...
