Hey everyone

I haven't written in a long time, and no I;m not dead yet. it just has been a weird year, we are trying to get a golf team made up and I;m trying to set up for tournys for us. the sem. started last week and it was a week to rember, monday I had class and I love my accounting class and then on tue was my day I need to go to class but for some reason I got the flu that day and got about 2 hours of sleep that night, I have never been that sick for along time. then the week went good, I'm switching my major to Business Adminstration Marketing degree, my goal is to work at a major golf company and work with the design crew to come up with new clubs and then try and market them to the public. The problem is that I don;t know if there is a position like this but I;m hoping to do 3 seperet internships one at Titleist, one at Callaway and one at Ping golf, and then hope to get a job offer from one of these companys. or go and work for a Hunting or fishing gear producer like Real Tree Camo or Remington firearms or something like that. I had a good break I did a lot of things I wanted to do, I went icefishing alot from my house and that's the on;y place I caught a fish, the biggest fish I caught was a 30 inch northern pike. and I did work a little at my dads work detailing trucks like semi trucks and that was ok but it was alot of work. Now I am the primary club builder at the golf course which is going to be a big responbility but now that i'm older I need to get out of my confort zone and try something new and I know this stuff like the back of my hand, and God came through and had my boss ask me if I would come back and work in the pro shop for the summer and sell clubs. That made me really happy because the course I sent my resume too had too many people and I didn't know where I would get a job for this next summer. my goals for this summer would  to be getting my handicap down to a single diget like 6 or 7 that would rock and then just go to a couple of really nice courses like the Bull again and maybe a TPC course or something like that. and I also have tickets for the March 5th Colorado Avalanche vs the Minnesota Wild hockey game in Min. and I'm so happy I have been a avs fan since they moved from Canada in 96 so 10 years and I finally get a chance to see them but only a couple of the guys I liked are still there like Joe, Rob Black but Adam Foote and Peter Forsberge went to different teams which left the avs short handed but then they got some guys from the other teams and they called up some guys from the minors that really steped up big. but I'm really happy for that.

but that's about it

So yeah

it's been a VERY long time since I worte last but I have been very busy latly. Well what's happened is that school is kind of stessful but also enjoyably. Been doing alot of things but mostly studying. I had hell week last week which consisted of 4 tests 1 quiz and 2 papers. so I'm glad I even survived that. This weekend was good I helped some people that needed help moving into a house in LA Crosse, and after that I sat in the woods and saw 2 deer but they spoked so they didn't come into bow range. but it was just good to get out in the woods and almost had a Pine Squrrile jump on me which was really funny. but this week I get somewhat of a break from tests but not the papers which are kind of fun to write. On tues. we get to go on the course for a Golf Team for the guys that we now have at RF which is going to be very fun. But that's just about it.

Golf Tip of the Day:

it's a easy one to score better keep the ball in the Fairway and try not to get in any bunkers or water hazards

wow sorry I haven't written in a long time.

Well this week has been awesom, I got the go to the Wild vs Blackhawks game (that's hockey) we had some VERY good seats. The game was really cool. then I got to go to Troy Burne Golf course and get on there for free, and that rocked.

but I have to get going

hey everyone

College rocks, there is alot of neat things and people here is just rocks, it's way better then the tech school that I went to last year. I have started class and they seem really cool, I have all of the nice teachers that actually take questions. I started captions practice yesterday and I was happy with my proformace with out a inhaler but my body today is like why did you do that. it was tough gettting out of bed this morning. I'm still trying to decided weather or not to do the hurdles or just do the longer races. My roommate is really cool because he likes hunting and fishing and he is a thrower on the team. Nothing is really going on too much just playing drums in the IV band and doing some other sports and studying and yes I said studying lol.

well that's it for now

Golf Tip of the Day:

If your faced with a tough chip over a bunker with a little bit of green to work with take a club with some loft that your confortable with hitting a nice high shot with. I like my 52 degree gap wedge so I can loft it more if I need to. Take a slight open stance to the left of the target (the flag) if your left handed it would be to the right of the flag. Then you want to take the club back like a flop shot, but don;'t bend your writs ( that will make you slow down your down stroke) and that will put the ball in the bunker but if you just bend your elbows you can make a faster down stroke catching the ball in the air but with my gap wedge I can land the ball on the collar and have it spin on the green towards the hole. but if you have only a little distance use a sand wedge but you need to make a crisp stroke because of the bounce of the club that might make you skull the ball or dig it in too much and put it in the bunker. If you have alot of green to work with you can use a 60 degree because you can take a full stroke and fly the ball and stop it easier then a pitching wedge or a gap wedge. Enjoy the game of golf take a new person out golfing.

Hey all

Well School is in for the Winter, sorry a little joke, yeah school is back and I'm glad to be back at RF, I have missed so many people here but it rocks to be back. I get to play again for IV and lifting for track starts next week already so I'm going to try really hard to bulk up for that. I have met so many new people here it's crazy and I my roommate is really awesom, he is a thrower for the track team so between the track guys and the cross guys we take up about almost half of the 2nd floor in Prucha, it's crazy.

well I'm going to go
