So they captured that up close, and in 4K resolution huh. Ain’t that something.

Hard to miss as it was plastered all over the internet. Such is life in the US I suppose. Tough break for the kids and spouse. The day however, moves on.

I snuck down to the driving range yesterday at lunch to whack a jumbo basket of balls and wouldn’t you know it I busted my Taylor Made Aero Burner #3 Fairway wood. Launched the broken head further than my ball down range. Luckily there were only three of us smacking balls on the range so I was able to dart down range and fetch my club head. A nasty break from up inside the shaft. I have attempted a repair using epoxy, but I do not hold high hopes for it being any sort of a permanent fix. I think I might get two, possibly three hits from it before it falls apart. A loss of $75.00 because I bought it used off a clearance demo rack at Golf town. Not only that but I cannot seem to locate the receipt so I can’t even really go and complain about it. At least it wasn’t the full 2015 price I paid for it. But, now I need to find a suitable replacement that has a very similar feel and shape that won’t cost me an arm and a leg. Aw shucks, not another trip to Golf Town! Whatever will I do?

We have made it to Thursday, and the weekend is no longer calling for rain, so that means we can be outdoors for much of the days. I do have my second climbing session on Saturday mid day, but otherwise we can go swim, or ride bikes, roller blade, or ride our skateboards on the newly paved road just outside our doors. The options are nearly endless.

I found out an acquaintance of mine has paid $60,000 to join a private golf course a few kicks from here, not to mention what he pays yearly on top of that initiation fee. He could play golf twice a day every day and not ever come close to having paid that much for local golf, like ever. That’s a preposterous sum of money. For a local course!?! Insane. I like golf don’t get me wrong, but not for $60,000 bucks. I can’t justify six, let alone sixty. Could you imagine? Ha. There are better things I could waste $60K on. My oh my.
