Guess since I made somewhat of a deal about the difference in golf swings between the old CU football coach and the new CU football coach, I'd be a bit remiss if I didn't mention playing golf on Sept. 3 with Dealin' Doug Moreland at Indian Peaks in Lafayette.

It was a chance encounter with the rather famous, perhaps infamous, car dealer of endless television commercials. I was actually updating hub sites from home - this is for my editors' benefit, from 5:30 to 8 a.m., from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 7 to 9 a.m. - when things were slow in the afternoon I decided to go hit some golf balls.

It just happened that I asked the starter if there were many singles waiting to play, and he just happened to mention that, 'no there wasn't and there was a threesome going off in 10 minutes if I wanted to join them. ..."

So it just kind of happened that I ended up playing golf that Sunday, in between being very diligent about updating hub sites.

Anyway, I go out to the first tee where Doug Moreland's son, Brendan, and his son-in-law, Bill, soon join me. Dealin' Doug was a little late to the tee so I didn't immediately recognize him, but by the second tee I had to ask, "What do you do for a living, Doug?"

To which, he replied, "I sell cars," and I ask, "Dealin' Doug?"

So there were some weird thoughts in my head about the TV. commercials featuring him in a Superman costume and such.

But that's all that was said about cars and weird television commercials for the whole round. I have to say his personality on the golf course is a lot more subdued than on television, or perhaps, when selling cars.

Doug claims a 20-handicap, which is perhaps sandbagged just a bit. He hits a 30-yard pull-cut about 250 yards off the tee, which is remarkably consistent.

He ain't Superman off the tee, but he ain't bad, either. If you play him for money, play on a tree-lined course, which Indian Peaks is not. His two sons were giving him three a side, and complaining pretty loudly about it on the back nine.

Didn't tell them about this little toe wedge Doug played from behind a tree on No. 6, but he was out of the hole, anyway.

By and large, Doug is a very capable golfer and a good guy to be on the course with, as were both his son and son-in-law. Bill had some incredible t-shots from the blue tees - he hit his second shot on No. 9 from the middle of the fairway 100 yards out - and if wasn't for the trouble he had with his iron play I would have suggested he move back to the championship tees.

I actually had a decent round, which have been few and far between since my swing change. That was due, a large part, to the good guys with whom I was playing golf.
