Progressive Golf

I felt very tired over the weekend. Not sure why. I was in bed early each night, but also up fairly early each morning. I worked a little Friday night, but took all of Saturday off.

Saturday was family time. I worked out in the morning, and then we were off to my younger son’s archery lesson. Yes, you read that correctly. Archery. His class has been studying medieval times and he wanted to try his hand with bow and arrow. It was fun to watch him learn.

After some lunch, and some work on my Blackberry for one of the companies I advice, we were off to a used book store in St. Jacobs, Ontario. I can get lost for hours, and many dollars, in a used book store. I confined myself to the golf section and we were in and out in about an hour. I picked up an old – 1920’s perhaps – edition of Progressive Golf by the one and only Harry Vardon. They wanted a pretty price for it! Amongst my other finds, a copy of Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book and Touring Prose by Lorne Rubenstein (who recently won some accolades for his musings on this year’s Masters).

The rest of Saturday involved some bowling – I’m a better golfer! – and some movie watching.

Sunday began with breakfast and a lengthy run. Then a little more work, of course. Later in the afternoon I settled in to watch the LPGA Ginn Open. While it was nice to see young Ms. Lincicome notch her second victory, it was very difficult watching Laura Davies collapse with her double-triple finish.
