I just got news that the company that I have worked for since 2004 isn't going to be giving me a raise this year, and unless I'm a member of the GST (Global Sales Team) I can forget about a Christmas bonus either (and that wouldn't come until December 2009 now anyway). It's just a sign of the times that we live in, and another new notch on my already tightening belt. Now if I could only match David Lutterus on tour. For thouse of you who don't know, David Lutterus has made $34,171 on Tour so far this year, which would put him on course for making $100,000 this year assuming he makes an average of 11,111.11 per month and doesn't compete in the Silly Season. See, I'm not greedy. I'm just asking to be good enough to make a decent income on Tour, and once you take out travel expenses and money for my caddy, 100K really isn't a lot, now is it? All that I'm asking is to average 70.94 per round, and make half of the cuts. Though my name suggests that I seek Tiger level fame and game, really, all I want is to not get kicked around by some big corporation that has had my loyalty for almost four years. Is that too much to ask?

Now all I need is an instructor who will take me to that level of play. If you can help an inexperienced, 24 year old golfer who has yet to break 100 to get to just a tad better than scratch, contact me. Payment will be received after I reach my desired skill level. Any takers?

Thank you for reading today's rant.
