You are only showing your age if you have one of these and used it in college and after. I am sure that there are many here who have no idea what it is.

Okay.... this was even easier than last week.

What's going on?
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Enough with the maths! Got it, but only after refreshing my memory of a very long hot summer course. Yuck.

On shore & deserving of the margarita I’m ordering.

On the sure to be very crowded shore.

My original guess when first looking at the puzzle was Aftermath? Why English of course, but it has seven letters.

Got it, but think it's harder than a 1 for a reason I won't say until later.

If they are still doing the factory tour at Kohler, you should go. It is fascinating.

Ashore. Since my stint as a math major, the rest of my life has sort of been "aftermath."

On shore. (I believe.)

EDIT: Almost made a costly error, but corrected myself. Definitely on shore.

Anyway you can use this item to plot out some space for all on the beach, along with some direct paths to the tiki bar?

Straight to the beach!
Once again, the Mrs pulls me out of overthinking and points the way to the solution.

Wishing all a joyous weekend, and stay safe.

If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.
