Balls, Woods, and Tee Bags


Yes I am talking about golf. A few days ago I want golfing for the second time in my life. It wasn't pretty... unless the high score wins. There were three of us guys, plus two golf carts, and about 100 balls.

Story about the balls. I live close to the driving range of this golf course. So a buddy and I went ball hunting in the wooded area beside the driving range. It was getting close to dark so we figured that it would be hard to see us in the woods. About an hour later I had to call my wife to bail me out of jail for trespassing and...

Just kidding. We didn't get caught. We did wait until it got a bit darker and just walked across the range picking up balls. We collected 119 balls total. Needless to say, we gave some of them back when we hit them into the woods or into the water traps on the course. It was a blast. I shot 32 over par. Yes, yes I know that is terrible, but we had a good time and were back before noon. Next time I think the guys and I will play 18 holes and I will go for an even 50 over.

Sum sum summer time!


Man this past month has flown by. I can honestly say that I haven't thought about blogging at all until now. I have been spending my time at work and with my family so I have been a bit busy. Sorry to those of you who have been missing my cheeky wit. (Laughs a little)

So to catch everyone up to speed... since beginning my new job I have had a few frustrations mainly in the training area. I am some what experienced at what I do so being placed in a newbie training program was kind of a slap in the face. Apparently I voiced my opinion to people, unbeknownst to me, and received the title of "Cocky". So now I am sticking my big foot in my mouth to keep it shut. I have decided to just show my coworkers that I can put my money where my mouth is. So far I have been tole that I am far exceeding expectations.

I am not sure whether to take that as a compliment or to take it as they didn't expect very much out of me in the first place. I'll take it as a compliment. I think it is better that way.

We'll see how this all plays out. Besides, who can be angry with a guy in a Robin Egg blue shirt, right?
