Gone Golfin'

Today I had a play date with my little cousin, Ethan! :) He LOVES to golf, so I took him to the driving range and let him hit a large basket of balls. He was doing very well! I know he hits them farther than I can! haha If you're a golfer and look at his hands, you'll notice they are not correct. I tried to correct him, but as he said "it feels weird." He should actually be a lefty (his dad is) and I know this trouble because I too should be a lefty (my dad is), but everyone else is right handed in our family so that's how he is learning...and how I was forced to learn! As I got older, I did learn to play sports left-handed because it felt more natural...so I'm guessing Ethan will probably be the same way.

After hitting about 70 balls on the range, we headed over to hole #1 and I let him try to hit over the water. He never did make it, which surprised me because he was hitting really well on the range. After that, we headed over to the #9 green and practiced our putting skills. He was doing really well with that, and I even managed to squeeze in a lesson about respecting the greens! ;)

We finished the evening with a trip to Dairy Queen for a treat...and finally McDonald's because he was still hungry! haha Aren't kids fun?!? :)

Here's a few pictures from our adventures tonight...I sure love him to pieces! Cousins are the best! :)

On the Course Again!

Well, it has been quite a while since I've written anything...so here goes nothing! All my time has been spent working here recently. I've been spending 40+ hours at the golf course and about 20 hours at the salon. I told mom the other night that last summer didn't seem to be this difficult when I was working 60 hours a week, but I also built up to that work schedule. Things are going well at the course. We are busier with every day...and every warmer day brings better greens! The guys keep teasing me that they're going to make me a golfer yet! ha I actually wouldn't mind learning how to play, seeing as how I watch people play all the time, but clubs are expensive and I would need a lefty set! argh! Who knows, they may wear me down yet!?! *wink*

Here are a few pictures from the course! I have more on my camera that I haven't downloaded yet, but I keep waiting for The Boss (aka Jesse) to finish putting up trim in the clubhouse before I post the "finished" pictures! Things are looking really good and we get tons of compliments daily. You definitely can't beat a job where you get to sit and read or work on stuff you bring while practically sitting outside!! (there is a big sliding door on the side of the clubhouse that we open and you feel like you're sitting outside) Even bartending isn't too bad! ha The guys generally tip pretty well and its easy enough to open the cooler and get out whatever one of the 11 beers we currently sell!
