5th Season Opener

October is such a fantastic month for sports and the sports minded.  It represents so much of one season ending as well as a few season's beginnings.  As the baseball season comes to a close and the fall classic has my Cubbies in the World Series for the first time in 71 years, one can help but choose to believe dreams come true.  The Fall Classic as the WS is dubbed will truly be classic this year.  As with an end comes a beginning, the beginning of hockey season, basketball season, and of course a new golf season.

New Beginings

As this year's Sr National Championships at Innisbrook,  where the PGA competes in  the Valspar Championship each March, get underway Monday 9/19, I am sitting in my living room with a heavy heart missing the action.  True I love to compete, but what I miss the most is the opportunity to compete against and with my fellow golf junkies.  I miss the competition, the comradery, the stories we tell for the umpteenth time.  The laughs, the highs and lows of the season, all the crazy shots made and missed, and yes even those 1 stroke what if or only if loses.  Golf is a unique game.  It is one that is played and shared.  And only those who play can fully appreciate the emotional roller coaster competitors face.

Close of this Book Vol. 1

Once upon a time, I had grand dreams and aspirations.  Hence the purpose of this blog, to chronicle my journey.  And for those who have followed and read the blog, thank you, but as you can attest my entries have become very sporadic.  The reason for this?  Well, let's just say and chalk it up to disappointment.

The Golf Club of Houston - Redstone Classic

Today's tournament was played on the Championship Course at The Golf Club of Houston, where the Shell Houston Open is held the week before The Master's.  https://thegolfchannel.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/thegolfchannel16/event/thegolfchannel1688/index.htm

First Lesson

Today was my first lesson with my new golf coach, Sammy Hanson.  I am very excited about my renewed commitment.  With the several distractors finally completed, all my focus and energy is about golf and improving my game and physical conditioning.
