Just dig a hole in the dirt and pitch away. Fun with no money.

I was thrilled with every mid-ringer shot I took yesterday. It's fun gauging the timing for snapping the action shots. Glad you enjoyed this, and I'm always ready to show off my Papa.phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1160923598922640152006-10-15T09:46:00.000-05:002006-10-15T09:46:00.000-05:00I love horseshoes!Thanks for the photos.
