The Challenge of Octoberfest

HHHmmm which sausage is lower fat---brats, kielbasa, which is Wurst???
Luckily Octoberfest comes but once year----so tonight I'll consume a bit more fat than usual----
 I've already booked my tee time---I'll walk and carry Nine tomorrow and burn some extra calories before they have a chance to "settle" in the wrong spots.
