It has begun!!!

Gofing season has officially started in La Crosse. I played my first round over spring break. WOW, I need a lot of work. My muscles are actually sore from playing golf. I stopped keeping track of my score after the fourth hole. Oh well. This is why golf is so fun, for so many people, because you can always get better. If you think you are terrible, and are embarrassed to play, fear not, there are a lot of people who have been golfing for a long time, that quite frankly, suck. Hope to see you on the course!

A Lesson in Golf Lessons

I have made it clear that I am not an expert golfer. I'm not even very good. When my girlfriend asked me to take golfing lessons with her, I refused. I continued to play all of last summer without taking a lesson. While my game improved a lot, I developed some bad habits. Habits that a golf instructor would have noticed and corrected. I guess I am a typical man, I never want to ask for directions, because I'm never lost... I also don't want to take any lessons, because I know what I'm doing...

Golf Course Business!

One reason I originally started golfing is because my boss told me too. Not only is golf enjoyable to play with friends, A LOT of business meetings happen on the golf course. Not just business meetings, A LOT of sales are made on the golf course. I don't want to look like a fool and blow a possible sale because I can't golf. My boss claims that 25% of his business dealing are done on the course. What a way to wine and dine potential customers, get drunk, drive around (in a cart), and have fun in the sun, while hitting some balls toward some holes. Would you rather have a meeting in a conference room, or outside on the golf course.
