News at the Course:
      In case you did not hear, Jerry Poling passed away on August 25.  Jerry was a lifetime resident of State Center and had been working at Lincoln Valley for the past thirteen years.  He was a dependable, hard working employee.  Even though Jerry was not a golfer, he wanted to make sure our course was as nice as could be and was very supportive of L.V.  Jerry has left behind a son and grandson and his companion of sixteen years, Katie Lake.  Thank,s Jerry, for everything.

        I was having trouble with my computer, so I called Richard, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.  Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem in no time.  As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was  wrong?"    
     He replied, "It was an "ID ten T" error."

        I didn't want to  appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, "An ID ten T error? What's  that in case I need to fix it again."

        Richard grinned...."Haven't you  ever heard of an 'ID ten T' error before?' '
   "No," I replied.  
      "Write it  down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out."
  So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T...
   I used to like the little sh _ _ !
