Played a few times over the weekend.  Frost delays seems to be the order of the day. I really don't mind. I'm happy I have the opportunity to play year round.  It won't be long before the heat returns. Makes me glad I'm an early riser... usually.

 I was paired up with a few guys over the weekend that played a little slower than I would normally prefer. They each took at least three practice swings before every shot....sometimes more. Putts included. They also took several "practice shots" if their initial ball wasn't what they wanted. Am I just whining here or is there justification for my current state of big mouth. Anyways...I'm just saying

Bought a new 3 wood yesterday. Took it to the range last night to break it in...... Well it's almost new. It was a  Taylor Made  R7 st graphite  demo club recently placed on the rack.  Spotless....100 bones cover included. Always puts a smile on my old sourpus

   Wow, the first full week of work after the holidays........Can't wait to get to the course tomorrow morning. A little warm up on the range, some chipping, a few putts and away we go !!!! The new guy at our office is an avid golfer. We have already made some plans to play next week. Sounds like he's a pretty good player. Hopefully I can pick up some things to help my game.

    Starting to see some new clubs coming out. Some others should be on sale as well. Time to evaluate a few of my current clubs. Actually no evaluation is necessary....at least two clubs need to be upgraded.

  Most of the courses in my area are rather expensive right now. Many visitors at this time of the year. Throw the FBR open and the Super Bowl  visitors on top of the usual snowbirds and everything gets crowded. Restaurants, clubs, courses are busier than a one-legged buttkicker. Even the internet booking websites aren't offering any large savings. Guess that's why I have a job. LOL

Pay no attention to that water on the right,......... Hit'em straight

      Yea , the weekend is here again. One of the saturday group was a no show this morning. Not even a phone call. I won't say more until I hear why. Sometimes stuff happens. It's raining now and there is a 50 % chance it will be raining tomorrow morning. The Sunday group is a little nuts. The game is on unless there is lightning. Gotta love it. A little rain gear helps alot.

       Tickets for the FBR open are popping up all over town for $20.00. It's worth that much just to watch the crowd. It's entertaining at the least, usually funny, occasionally scary LOL. There was that one year when the guy was found with a gun. Hell, this Phoenix, we're allowed to carry guns....and we'll shoot your  sorry butt if  we need to.  I don't think Tiger has been back since.  Time to tackle the next project...Hit'em straight !!!!

     Hope everyone had a great New Year's celebration. Short delay getting into the golf course this morning. A medical evac helicopter was using the course parking lot. Pick up truck rolled several times into a canal. Emergency personnel cut him out of the truck. One of the course attendants was the first one on the scene. He called 911. He also said the guy reeked of alcohol. Hopefully this dumbass will learn something from this if he survives. I know it was New Years Eve but damn dude, quit drinking sometime during the night. This was 8:30 am.

       Played ok today. Hit a large bucket after the game to try and work some things out.

       Back to work tomorrow. Looks like it will be weekends only for a while. Maybe all the way to Memorial day. Sheez. Hit'em straight
