Golfing Time

I went out for the second round of the year yesterday and man was it beautiful.  It was supposed to be raining yesterday afternoon so we held our excitement in check. All day it was overcast and cold. Then at about 1:00 the sun broke through and stayed out until 8:00pm. it was amazing.

 

We get to the course at 3:45 and were told it would be a twenty minute wait, no problem we head over to the chipping green and I help my youngest brother with his chipping and it clicked right away with him. He got it and it helped him cut 7 strokes off his best round.

 

I was hitting the ball pretty well and it was nice for the draw to come back. 2 years ago I lost my slice and a slight draw developed and it has gotten a little more in control. The first round it wasn't there but it came back on number 3 yesterday.

 

I love golf.

March, for real??

So march madness started yesterday and once again I am reminded why I love it.  I always take off Thursday and Friday and watch every game I can.  I fill out a couple of brackets but it is just for fun. I usually root against my bracket and hope for the big upset.

 

I was supposed to go golfing thursday morning for the first time of the season with my father but it was supposed to rain so we rescheduled for friday. Well it doesn't rain until around 1:00 on Thursday so we would have been able to get our round in but whatever. We watch college hoops all day and part ready to hit the links today.  

 I wake up at 6:00 am and get ready, I am sitting on my couch having a cup of coffee and my brother comes in and says it is snowing.  I go look and sure enough it is snowing outside. We decide it can't last and decide to head out anyway. We get to the course and it is covered in snow. The clubhouse offers us a cup of coffee while we wait.  We have out coffee and decide it aint gonna happen, so we decide to go out to breakfast.

Breakfast was horrible, they got our order wrong then it was cold and the coffee was horrible.   We decide to call it a day and on our way back to my house we realize it is not snowing around here so we head further south and try another course, as soon as we get there it starts snowing. We leave, and head back home. About an hour later it in sunny and 10 degrees warmer. DAMN.

The Goal

Published 3/3/2009 by Rick in Development | Misc

Not really sure what the goal is here. I have three sites that I want to write right now, 1. A golf score tracker, 2. A football simulation game and 3. A video game league stat tracker site.  I can not remember where I heard it from but I have heard that "If you want to help your success with whatever you do, tell someone about it". So I am telling all about it. Well all who read this so maybe my wife, Thanks Dear!!

About 2 years ago I had a blog and was doing good in updating once or twice a week and then I had to switch hosting packages losing php and the only blog they offered was php based so I gave up on it. Now I am back and I think I want to document the development of one or more of the aforementioned sites along with other thoughts.

We just got hit with a snow storm yesterday and you would have thought it was a blizzard of biblical proportions with the news coverage that was going on with it. Sure it was a bad storm but I don't think 10" is 24 hour news worthy(TTWS)
