Well, it's time for a golf post

I finally booked a time at the TPC Scottsdale. I wouldn't normally play there (in fact I never have) as I am a REALLY bad golfer, and my game doesn't improve with the amount of money that I spend on a round.

$10/round, $250/round. Makes no difference. Still a hacker either way.

But it's still a blast anyway. :)

But my sister loves me (somebody has to, right? lol) and bought a gift certificate for me for Christmas.

Got the email confirmation earlier:

Let's see if I can keep the lost balls count in single digits. (for the record, the first time that I played Karsten at ASU, I lost 14 balls in 18 holes. Ouch. Down to 4 per round now. Whooo hooo!)

Later!
