Golf - new personal best

2 January 2010

I'm REALLY excited to post this. I smashed my personal best today in driving and putting. 210 yard drive and a 50ft putt on the Mountain Course at the Kona Country Club! Ok, so maybe it was probably closer to 40 but it sure as hell felt like it was 50! What an amazing feeling, though, and to have both happen in the same round of golf! I was still whooping for joy when I drove home and got some interesting looks.

Now Toby says that I can't hit from the ladies tees anymore when I play with him. We'll see about that.

New Years: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. - Mark Twain

We're about to embark on the first week of the new year and there are some resolutions I've decided to make this year that I would really like to stick to -
1. Play more golf (i.e. be more active)
2. Eat more raw fruits and vegetables (i.e. eat healthier)
3. Have more patience with my loved ones (i.e. be a kinder, gentler person without being a push-over).

There - I've committed them to writing so there's no going back now. Fortunately, being here in Hawaii has afforded me a fairly good start to keeping those resolutions...even though the 3rd one is tested almost daily.

So, here's what my blog will consist of for 2010 - golf improvements and new healthy recipes that I find over time. Hopefully I'll see an improvement in my general health and weight as well!
