belated summer 2007 post

I have not posted in like forever so after taking this afternoon off to play golf I thought that I would. Fall golf is probably my favorite. It is the end of the season, but the courses are softer than they have been and that is nice. We have had very little rain this summer and most courses are pretty dry.

How's this for my round today? 3 birdies, 4 doubles for a bizarre 83. Not my best effort. I had four sideways pitch outs due to missed fairways. Ugh. This round pushed my handicap to 6.6, which is fine, but I had it down to 4 earlier. I have not been playing much as of late and it shows around the greens. I did hit some pretty nice iron shots, including an 8 iron to about 10 feet on a par 3. Missed the putt, but I hit a good shot in.

I am working at Dick's Sporting Goods in the golf shop 15-20 hours per week. It's pretty cool. I love working with people on the hitting machine. Not so much for lessons per se, but for the ability to offer a tip here and there that the customer might take with them. Some are receptive, some are clueless. I hate the retail aspect of the job, but the golf stuff is cool. Dick's has some pretty weird ideas about moving stuff around the store on a regular basis.
