Day Off

Today was an interesting one. I only had class from 10 to 12 and then I was off the rest of the day. Yesterday I went golfing with Uncle Buck (Dan) and Jaren, we went to Mulligan's, Jaren doesn't like to golf on REAL courses, but I was horrible. Today after I got out of class I called up Golf Galaxy and got a lesson time. I went in and apparently EVERYTHING I was doing was wrong. Glen Spencer, the teacher, spent the whole time restructuring my entire golf game. After we were finished he talked to me a bit about practice and keeping up on the technique and I asked when I should return and I kid you not he looked at me and said, "This may be the only lesson you need." I was stunned not only to hear him say that but to hear his explanation why. He proceeded to tell me that most people come in and don't listen but I absorbed every little detail he said. Took it to heart and put it to good use. He said that he has almost never seen this dramatic of a change in that little of time. Well I stopped at another golf store to find a club and took a few swings and the teacher/salesman that was watching said the he hasn't seen an amateur with that impressive of a stance that has not been in the tour before. I am quite excited. I will practice and then in a week or two I'll go back and, even if it's for him to tell me that I am good and I don't need anything more, I will be proud to have said that I have cleaned up my game.
Now my goal is to get my 18 hole game down under 95 and then I can join the amateur tour. This year will be practice and then next year I will be on it. ha ha ha.
There hasn't been a whole lot going on lately. I was on my bike the other day and car back fired then I let the throttle go and the bike backfired right after the car and I almost fell over it scared me so bad. Most of the time I can keep control and stay on top of most of my surroundings and not let things get to me like that however, every once in a while I will get caught off guard and then "BAM" I get hit with something that sends me reeling for cover. School is almost over and hopefully I can change my major so that I can attempt to create a title for myself through the skills that I already have. Summer is almost and with that the neighborhood children are becoming less of inside bodies and more of the outside type. The other day I came out of the house to see the next door neighbor kids climbing up on my shed and jumping off onto their trampoline. I flipped out and I'm sure that as soon as I got in the car and drove away they went right back to doing it but that just made me a little nervous about them being stupid and killing themselves and then the parents yell at me because, "I allowed them to do it because the shed is in my yard." Sometimes I wonder how the world functioned without being able to sue everyone. Oh yea now I remember, Doctors could actually practice medicine, McDonald's could have HOT coffee, and people could have other people over for some fun and games rather than having some lawsuits and pains.
