On Sunday I got to the course early and had an hour to work on putting, chipping and pitching. There's no range at my course, so I could only practice short game.
Eventually we were called to the first tee. I was pleasantly surprised. I striped a 3-wood to the middle of the fairway about 110 yards out, with a nice little draw. Just over 4 hours later I was back in the club house with 85 on the card. Not bad for me, especially first time out.
I must now figure out where to practice. I like to do so at least once per week. I'd like to do more, but have a busy schedule.
There are a few public driving ranges around, like the one I used on Saturday, but very few have any short game areas. And all charge by the bucket, or the hour, either way causing one to limit practice to X number of balls or minutes. There are a few higher end clubs. They may offer a season pass to their practice facilities. I'll investigate.
Of course, there are also private clubs with great facilities, but that's not for me at this point.
It sure would be nice to have a Parmasters Golf Training Center in town. A place where you can practice as long as you want, as often as you want. A place where you can practice both long and short game. A place where weather and nightfall are never a worry.
But wait, such a place will exist, very soon. My team, along with yours truly, will open our Parmasters Center this winter. Such a place will exist, very soon!
Monday and Tuesday were very busy. Lots of investor and banker meetings. Things are really starting to accelerate.
I attended a Chamber of Commerce event this evening. It was a sort of President's/CEO's reception. I made some new acquaintances and renewed some old friendships.
Tomorrow will begin as every day does. Some breakfast, my newspaper, and some respite. Shortly thereafter I'll be off to a Communitech breakfast. I won't eat much during the second breakfast of the day! After that, lots of investor calls and meetings.
Now, soon, off to do some reading.
