It's been a while since I've put anything out from here. I guess it's a mixture of summertime and disinterest. The NHL season is over, draft is over, free agency madness is over, so that leaves little for me to really blog about. I'm not really excited about the MMA scene right now. Facebook and Twitter have taken over as my daily social outlets. My family has been pretty busy with summer activities. These are my excuses. I think the real reason is that I lose interest in the blog from time to time. I know that there's nothing worse than an inactive blog, but it is what it is.
Some news worth blogging about. OGA 2011 is coming! It's been in the planning stages for weeks. The idea phase was months ago. That's when we start thinking about getting together to golf and just how long it's been since the last time. The next phase is the actual planning phase. Pick a month, then a weekend & location. Plan A was a visit up the coast to Poppy Hills. That didn't pan out. But we are all basically committed to the weekend, so it's just a matter of going with Plan B. I think that will involve a golf course that's more local to Arroyo Grande/Nipomo. It's still being worked out.
I'm excited. I'm trying to remember the last time we had an OGA event, and I think it has to be a couple years ago. Unlike the rest of the crew, I'm not an avid golfer. I do love to play, I am just not willing to commit 6-7 hours on the weekends to it. I tend to go through phases of getting out to hit balls and practice, but generally that's short lived. The moment I get too serious about golf and have any expectations about swing results, it all falls apart. So, I have a more Zen approach to golf now. I treat it as an adventure, don't expect much and play each shot as it comes. That usually involves dusting off the clubs and shoes before I play and going through a rough front 9. The rest of the round may or may not improve. That's the mystery.
