Well. I’ve been away from any media (golf or other) for almost 2 straight days. Has anything new happened since I was away? Is Vijay still #1? Does Tiger still knock em 325 out and 40 right? Has Augusta National announced allowing women members? Have I made a “less than stellar” post which has been critiqued by my buddy The Duke over at The Saguaro Open? Yes? Yes? No? No? Maybe?
Greetings from my new perch, my pal Matt’s milk box. Yes, I’m on my buddy’s front porch, sitting on his milk box again. I did manage to get logged into his wireless network this time.
I’ve been moving all my crap for 3 days now. I filled up 4 (FOUR) 24 foot trucks with crap….er a possessions. I just donated about 40 golf clubs and two carts to the local charity. (Can I deduct full retail on that?). This morning I dumped the last of my worldly possessions into my 10×20 foot storage unit. Then I dropped off my Penske truck at 8am.
Now I’m settling into my new condo. This condo is nice. I’ll post a pic tomorrow from my deck. I can watch all the golfers playing the 17th hole. That may be bad for my game because earlier today I watched what was obviously a 4 man scramble. I watched all 4 players shank their shots into the green.
Apparently nothing “major” in the golf world happening. Sluman has the lead in round one of the memorial eh? Ok. Wonder how long that will last. Made the rounds to my favorite blogs and there is some good stuff out there. Click on my links to the right. Be sure to check out The Sand Trap for Eric’s photos at the Memorial. Very cool.
I’ll be “hooked on net” tomorrow. I’m going from DSL to digital cable. I hear it will be faster. It will be nice to end the milk box sitting. My butt can’t take any more. My reviews other articles will get back on track this weekend!
The setting:
I’ve just sold my house and closed today at 3pm. So you could say I’m homeless. I’ve been packing and purging all my junk since Thursday. I didn’t get to golf at all over the entire Memorial Day weekend which is the first time in 10 years. My golfing buddies kept calling saying they had one spot left for me…bummer.
Today I spent loading heavy furniture, throwing away 5 computers, purging junk and dumping 3/4 of my worldly possessions in a 10×20 foot storage unit. The move finishes tomorrow by 7pm. No golf for over a week now. This must be what it is like for a crack addict to go without his drugs. Pain pain.
I think I broke my toe and I smashed my pinkie. I’ve pulled some kind of muscles in my right shoulder.
My wife shut off our high speed internet connection two days early by mistake. Thanks to my pal Matt, I’m sitting on his milk box on his front porch writing this post. He ran me an ethernet cable out his front door to connect. Our wireless systems are not compatible unfortunately. It is 10:52pm and I have 2 minutes of battery power on my laptop left.
I’ll do anything for my loyal golf readers here!
I hope to get back to my normal posting and reviews by the weekend. If my new temporary pad doesn’t have a net connection, I’ll be back here tomorrow night on my buddie’s porch. My new connection is supposed to be hot by this Saturday.
I’m staying in a condo for 3-4 months while my new house is being built. The location of my new condo? It’s only on the 17th fairway at the course I happen to be league president of!
Now I have 1 minute of battery power left. Good night.
I had 3 or 4 lame paragraphs written about Ernie Els and the Memorial this week. I nuked them. I just wasn’t feeling the joy.
The short version is I think Ernie has had a disappointing season this year, even though he’s won 3 times outside the PGA Tour.
There’s a new golf blog that just popped up called World Golf Views. It is the creation of a guy named Kevin who seems to be cool in the couple of emails I’ve had with him. He’s a sports writer of some sort.
He’s just starting out and has done his 2nd post. Hit is blog and help break in this golf blog virgin!
Hecklers rejoice! Monty has scratched his way into the US Open.
Monty finished in 11th place at the BMW which put him in the 50th position in the world rankings. 50th in the world gets an automatic berth into the US Open.
I’m sure the crowd at Pinehurst is a little more mellow than the crowd in New York or some other Open locations, but least they’ll have someone fun to heckle now.
