Two Truth's and a Lie Tuesday

Well, today I am going to try to increase my Blogging knowledge by doing this little game called two truths and a lie. I am linking up with Alana's blog, Life & Times of the Intelligent Blonde.

Here are the lines in NO particular order:
1. I once lost a bet and ran down Washington Street in Stillwater which is well known as, "The Strip."

2. I have worn nothing but a cowboy hat, boxers, boots and a belt inside a bar.

3. I have hauled hay inside of a trailer house at precisely 2:57 a.m.; perfect hay hauling time.

After you have tried to figure this out, you should ask me about all three sometime. It may surprise you with what all they entail.


Until next time,

Fore! Golf at its beginning

Golf isn't just a hobby, it's an addiction. Myself included, hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent each year to "improve" our games.

I recently purchased a Taylormade R11s stiff flex 9.5 driver. 

Now, normally I would not go out and spend $399.99 on a single club, but considering I am growing older and more mature, I figured I could make the lifetime investment. This club has been extremely hard for me to hit on the links though in the simulator I was swinging fluidly and smooth. Though frustrated, I am convinced I can still do it.

I also recently accidentally purchased 8 dozen Nike MOJO golf balls. I say accidentally because I clicked on the wrong button on eBay but lucked out by only paying $68 for them!! I have only hit one and it felt good, not great. I love my Taylormade Penta TP5 golf balls still.

What are some of your recent golf ball purchases?

I am ready to go back out this week and play some more before I hit the road for work.I shot my two lowest rounds of my life last week. I shot a +5, 77 on Wednesday and a +11, 83 on Friday at Cottonwood Creek Golf Course in Waco, Texas.

What are some of your favorite courses? My favorite course thus far in my short golf career is Twin Rivers south of Waco, Texas.

 

I look forward to increasing the amount of golf I play as well as reducing my score. I have a goal to shoot 80 consistently until I have more time to shoot par golf.

This weekend provided me the opportunity to watch Tiger Woods once again have a brilliant wedge shot on Hole 16 at the Memorial. It was been one of my stronger shots thus far, but I must continually read, practice, and critique each and every shot. I want to get better. I want to be mentally strong on any golf course.

If you have any suggestions or books or videos to help my golf game, please, recommend away!

Let it rain! Let it pour!

I am constantly reminded how fortunate I am by listening to the rain this morning.

We take life so serious, we forget to stop and smell the rain instead of grumbling as we drive through it. Do you realize the rain helps grow the agricultural crops necessary to provide nourishment to our beloved country? Without moisture, and I use that word solely on some states get melting snow instead of rain, we would not be able to raise the quantity of food to feed our ever-growing country.

Stopping, or at least slowing down, to see a historic marker with a friend on a weekend road trip will educate you more than any social media outlet in the same amount of time. Try it. Next time you are driving, make it a point to stop and read a sign. I promise it won't disappoint.

Keep the rain a pouring and your souls soaring!

Until next time,

Un-American Airlines

As I am sitting here thinking about my summer schedule for work and my few pleasure travels, I am reminded again how evil, cruel and stupid this world is.

I was booking a flight to Denver, Colorado through American Airlines (AA.com) and made a simple mistake of booking the wrong departure city. All I needed to do was change the city, not the date, which mind you was a month away. They not only charged me an additional $150 to change it, they would not even refund the flight after I cancelled it! 

So to sum it all up, I purchased a ticket online. Cancelled the same ticket. Got charged $150 for cancelling my own flight a month in advance. Now, they are not rescheduling my flights as it was my error to place the flight in the first place. 

I usually don't complain too much because turnabout is fair play. However, being charged for something I did myself is ridiculous! It is not like they had strenuous hours laboring over my cancellation. I DID IT! In two minutes online, mind you. 

As you start arranging your summer plans and flights, make darn sure you select the correct flights, and if you make an error, don't let the first one be booking with American Airlines. They have horrid flights and even worse customer service. 

Fly SOUTHWEST and pick your seat.

Until next time,
