    A 7 iron “to begin”? Must be a par 3 course.

    Coach Carter has a totally new game in mind for Mrs. Thorp.

    Mimi: Who’s that old white haired guy ahead of us? He kept muttering on the putting Green about Winter rules, improving his lie, not being a slouch and gophers.

    It’s a bad coach who suggests clubs before seeing how the player swings and hits.

    Could be the putting green, complete with those popular – and generous – holes.

    Scottsdale AZ, eh? Too bad dinner at Amy’s Baking Company is not an alternative anymore.

    What about Mrs. Clover? Is she languishing on her deathbed while Mimi hits the links?

    P2.5: I wasn’t talking about your clubs.

    P-3: Apparently, Mimi’s new coach is legally blind, as she looks off over Mimi’s shoulder instead of looking at her. What could go wrong?

    Obviously, Mimi isn’t coaching girls’ basketball this year. Did the budget cuts mean that the program has been discontinued, or will Gil and former sophomore star Cami be the coaches, or will the boys’ team go co-ed?

    I don’t know if Kaz is leaving — MUT would say escaping — the strip, but it appears that as of today, he’s no longer coaching. That makes him ineligible for consideration under Coaches Held Hostage. And if Mimi is playing golf instead of coaching three teams, she too is out of the running. That leaves Gil, who appears just often enough to make a count of time unnecessary. Henry, you’ve written me out of a job. I guess I’ll just have more time to devote to pushing, er, selling Hoo.

    From a bon fire to a basketball game to a golf match in Arizona. This strip has more twists and turns than Lombard Street.

    P-2: Hidden Clue: This coach is a beginner. She only has three rings.

    Their hands accidentally brushed against each other. Mimi held it there for far too long. She gazed into Ericka’s eyes and then asked, “What do we do now?” Ericka took her hand and whispered into her ear, “Let’s go back to my place and read today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp!”
