Playing trivia this afternoon, and thought I'd research some likely subjects. I got this helpful AI overview from Google about Diane Keaton:
Screenshot text reads: Diane Keaton did not die from an illness; she is still alive. The person who passed away from pneumonia was actress Diane Keaton's family confirmed, but there is no public information to support the claim that the two share the same fate. In fact, the actress Diane Keaton has been openly sharing her health journey, including battles with cancer and bulimia. She also recently revealed she was diagnosed with a rare disease called sarcoidosis.

Played the Bostick course at University of Florida today. Too long for me, plus lightning fast Donald Ross greens. Nicest fairways I've played in a long time

Another wonderfully non-sensical response from Google's AI
#Golf #AI
Google's AI Overview reads: The Genesis Scottish Open is an annual professional golf tournament that is part of the European Tour and PGA Tour, and there is indeed a 2027 edition scheduled. In contrast, a different golf event, The Open Championship (also known as The Open), which is a major championship, will not be held in Scotland in 2027. However, it has been announced that the major championship will be held at the Old Course at St Andrews, Scotland, in 2027.

Well, that's a relief! I don't have to worry about Masters tickets for another year
Screenshot of an email from Augusta National Golf Club. It reads in part: Thank you for submitting your 2026 ticket application... Unfortunately, your entry was not selected this year.

Played Windermere Golf Club yesterday. Very scenic, but too many blind shots. The 1st picture is from the first tee. I hit my drive just to the left of the target pole as directed by the yardage book, and never found my ball

Beautiful calm morning on Lake Windermere at the moment. Hopefully it will stay that way for our lake cruise later today.

Links golf is done for a couple of weeks, but had a fun time today at Kingussie. Very scenic golf course. A few lost balls, but the highlight of the day was pitching in from about 90 yards on #9 for a birdie

Enjoyed meeting up with @boynecaddiegolf.bsky.social after his caddie round on the Old Course. There were a couple of loud "Fore right!!" calls on the 18th tee, but not from his player.
We're off to Dornoch tomorrow for the next leg of our trip. Fore!
