Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: 1974 by ryan adams
Topic: Golf
Left work at 4:15 and went to GP's office. It's inside an old barn, I couldn't believe it. Not too bad actually, a one room suite with what looks like Frank's bedroom connected to it. Marc was there and GP kept calling me on my drive to see how far I was, cause she couldn't wait to get the heck out. I walked in with her once I finally found the place and she said "the asshole is there". I walked in and said "hi asshole". The asshole didn't even turn around, he knew it was me. "Hi IL, how are you?" he responded. Lawyers! We queued up directions to the course, and off we went in my car.

AA met us there. It started to rain. GP did real well, the technique and the stroke is definitely fantastic after one day, only thing is that it will take her some time to believe that it's going to make the ball go if she keeps doing it. AA turned out to be a natural. At my barbeque, he was showing me how to use the shanai, the kendo sword/stick. I mentioned to him it seemed similar to golf. After I showed him the golf swing, he confirmed that it really was. He did really well. Something like $150 yards his first day! Only that he is way off to the right, maybe he's twisting the club face too much or coming in too under the ball or something. I don't know if I can help much there. But I think we'll need to get JK in and have a best ball game with the four of us.

Before I left work, I called SC, the golf league person. It's been at least two weeks since I sent in my check and I haven't heard back. I am eager to play. She told me she'd send my number around to some folks looking for singles.

While I was showing GP and AA how to play, my cell rang. It turned out that it was Iris, (lol AY, how do you like that?) and that they had a spot for me on the 8:30 am Friday league. I'm in. Right now I don't mind missing work. I'll do a half day on Friday, call it working from home, and hit some golf balls. With Iris and Stella. One is AY's pet, one is mine. Ironic!!!

I was hitting pretty well, in the 200ds, completely straight.

I broke in my rescue club - iron wood, and it does about 120, straight and easy off the grass. Wonderbar!
