Franchise Owners' Conference

I’ve just returned from a ball hockey practice. Both the coaches and the players were a little tired and slow, so the practice wasn’t as intense as some we run. I think maybe we’re all adjusting to the heat. It’s only early may, but the arenas are starting to get warm.

Unfortunately one of our guys was sick after practice. And we really didn’t run all that hard. We’re obviously hoping it’s something that passes quickly. He’s a great player, and a great young teen. His team will need him tomorrow night.

I was reminded on Wednesday that I must get some immunizations taken care of before late June. Our annual Franchise Owners' Conference takes place in Mexico the week of June 18. I’ll make some calls tomorrow.

The conference agenda is packed. Sessions start at 6:30am and run into the evening for the first few days. The Friday is a free day. I hope to golf, or perhaps snorkel. There’s a wrap-up session on the last day, the Saturday, followed by a round of golf, of course.

I’ll also, finally, take our Straight-Line Golf™ lessons from the man himself, our Chief Golf Professional and Co-Founder, Scott Hazledine. Scott developed Straight-Line Golf after an accident left him with a back that didn’t function very well. I can’t wait to learn the “simplest, most accurate way to hit a golf ball” from the man that developed the simplified swing. Lessons will take place late in the day on the Wednesday and Thursday.

Today started with breakfast and another great workout. The workout was interrupted by a call from a local banker. I had to continually apologize for being out of breath. Since I do fairly intense heavy weight workouts, I also found it very difficult to simply hold the phone up to my ear. But, it was a good meeting.

I spent the bulk of the day communicating with potential/future investors.

For now, off to catch up on some reading, and to catch the highlights of the Players Championship. I may also head to the basement to take some putting practice. Drive for show, and putt for dough!
