A dog’s breakfast,

lunch and dinner.
That’s how badly I golfed yesterday at the benefit tournament.
Had a good time! Don’t get me wrong. but I think I was more hinky about golfing in front of everyone. Tee shots were best they’ve been all summer. Mostly three-putts (which is one more than I need to do, thank you very much, [...]

Possibly the longest middle school band concert in history…

But I’m not really sure.
It was terrific. Really. Ok. It was terrific for a middle school band. It will take a couple of days to get the tone-clusters out of my ears, but really, the teacher is doing a fabulous job.
It did go so long that I missed rehearsal…um. Not too disappointed since I’m still [...]

48

Yes. That’s right. Last week a 60. Today, same course with lots of wind, a 48.

cedarholm 60/33 with McKilt

Lowest stroke score so far. He spotted me 3 strokes per hole for match play so after subtracting 27 points we each had 33. Chip shot on the 9th hole was classic. 2 putted most of the holes. 6th and 7th holes were the worst. 8th and 9th the best. Tee shots were unfocused and [...]

playing hooky

Yesterday morning, I played my first round of golf for the season. With my coach. And I didn’t suck! We didn’t keep score but I think I was somewhere in the low 70’s (for 9 holes. simmer down.) But you need to be aware that this is about a 25 stroke improvement over the last [...]

In Play

I find myself wondering what the heck I should write about today! It’s not that it was a boring weekend, or that I have a boring week ahead of me.
Not in the least. Rather, I think it’s that there’s so much in play that I don’t know where to start.
Saturday started with coffee with The [...]

Junk Mail

I supose I should be grateful that it’s not an AARP application…although I hear those are coming out next week.

Peaceful Sunday so far, but mostly I’ve been avoiding work. Sometimes when you take a new consulting job the 20 hours they need/want are 20 hours between Friday and Monday. So I worked pretty hard on [...]

Let the ball be in the way

Today’s golf lesson was awesome.
I was a little worried because I found this teacher through SaxMan and was completely surprised to get a voicemail from SaxMan yesterday (at 8:30 AM) saying he’d “heard” I was starting lessons.
While it might be true that there is some small sick part of me that hopes being a better [...]

Anticipation

I’m having my first golf lesson this morning. I am a mixture of excited, anxious, nervous, excited…whoo! This is going to be so fun! (I hope)
But first a quick stop at church to proof the bulletin…again….so that I have my butt covered on it this week. The afternoon should bring nose-to-the-grindstone writing for LN’s project.
More [...]

with a little help from my friends

I don’t care what people say…these young whipper-snappers got it going on!
So I’m playing phone tag with my friend SH yesterday and he says two things that
rocked me back:
1. Well, I’m at the driving range, so give me a call mid-swing.
2. I only work as much as I have to.
whaaaa??
The middle of the week, the [...]
