New Systems Put To The Test

Today was the first real, full-impact day after the holidays. While I did work last week, most of the week was spent cleaning up old tasks, brainstorming, catching up on my reading and adjusting my personal productivity systems.

Today was also the first full day using said new systems. It went well, but I’ve under-estimated the complexity of the change. It will take several days to really hit my stride, and perhaps weeks to feel truly comfortable with this new approach.

Apparently, as I was blogging on Friday evening, Stephen Ames was busily giving a few strokes back to the field. Congratulations to Vijay Singh on his Mercedes-Benz Championship victory and the accompanying 4,500 FedExCup points. Ames finished T11.

This week the PGA Tour moves to Honolulu, Hawaii for the Sony Open in Hawaii, where David Toms is the defending champ.

The Champions Tour season begins this week in Maui, Hawaii with the Wendy’s Champions Skins Game, where the defending champs are Dana Quigley and Raymond Floyd.

The Nationwide Tour starts in a couple of weeks.

The LPGA Tour kicks off next week.

And finally, the Futures Tour waits until March for its first tourney, and the Legends Tour starts in April.

The Ladies European Tour starts next week while the European men get started this week with the Joburg Open in Johannesburg, South Africa. This is the first staging of the Joburg Open.

And that list merely scratches the surface of tournament golf around the globe! Stay tuned for our first inter-site Parmasters tournaments. I’m quite certain Waterloo Region will have to challenge Halifax shortly after we open!
