So I've managed to play golf a couple of times so far this year, both times at the "Apple Nine" course at Lyman Orchards. I probably should have yelled "four" on the easy first hole, but in the end, it didn't come close to hitting the group in front of us anyways. This is something I have talked about in the past. It is always good to air on the side of caution. However, it is also a good thing when you don't have to yell four.
The "par three" beginner course at lyman orchards, there is a lot of room to work on your short game. It also hosts a driving range, chipping green, and putting green. I warmed up on the putting green before my last round and did a little chipping around the putting green too. It paid dividends as I sunk a few par-savers and managed to pull a "sandy" off too. Although the course is flat, it provides a fun expierence where you can score low and have a good time or course.
The pga championship, the last major or the pga season, was a memorable one. One of the longest pga championships in history yardage wise, it delivered. At the end of the day, Jason Day clubbed out a record -20, a remarkable feet for the young aussie pro. It was his first major as he managed to beat the young phenom Jordan Spieth. Congrats to you, Mr.Day.
I got that summer time sadness because I haven't been golfing that much and the heat is holding me back. But overall, the weather has been great here in Connecticut. I want to start building my board for the winter, not literally, but it would be nice to have a nice setup come December. I have nothing much to say about snowboarding. In fact, if I had the urge, I would buy a skateboard to work on my balance. I have watched a little bit of skateboarding and biking on the X games this Summer. Those athletes seem to be blessed with more talent than even your more mainstream sporting pros. I think extreme sports are less popular than they should be. I guess because there is a limit on how far you can go when it comes to keeping you attention. Don't get me wrong, it keeps my attention, but some people just aren't turned on by it. Extreme sports do seem to be progressing however, as the athletes themselves continue to push the limit on their tricks and level of intensity. These guys eat, sleep, and breathe 'air', creativity, and style. I wish I could do some of the stuff they make look so easy. Always working on the next trick keeps me going back at it, man.
So my life has been hard and easy at the same time. I have chosen to pursue a "sober" lifestyle and it is really working wonders. I seem to have more time to work on the things that make me, well, me. Changing the environment where I live has been a big factor, as well as cutting out on illegal activities and mayhem. I still can golf and shred, which is great, but in a whole new light too.
I really enjoy T.V. more than the average person. I don't have access to premium channels at the moment, but T.V. is still T.V. I watched "Keeping up with the Kardashians" for the first time but don't really care for it. I also watched a bit of the series "Dating Naked- Playing for Keeps". This held my intrest but still isn't as great as some of the other stuff out there. I missed out on most of the summer movies too but that's alright because a new movie comes out every day. Anyways, I'll have to cut it right here for now, but until next time... "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."
