14 March 2006

Definitely feels like March again after yesterday's foray into summer. It was 85 degrees during the day -- and 73 when we went to bed last night! Crazy. Took the new clubs for a swing yesterday at a local course. I was so proud of myself. My two main goals: 1) not to hold up play, and 2) not look like a complete ass. I managed to do both, I'm happy to say. I even made some good looking shots, if I do say so myself. I definitely hit some clunkers, but none were out of play. Noticed some buds on several trees in our backyard...even the magnolia tree is JUST starting to sport some pink flowers. I never noticed spring when I lived in the city...it was something that just happened; all of sudden all the leaves and flowers were out, seemingly in one day. Now, with so many trees and flowers surrounding our house, it's much more gradual process for me...I notice the little things, the buds, the flowers just starting to bloom. The grass getting greener and higher.

update 344pm. Just saw this in the wires. See golf IS addicting!
"SEOUL, South Korea Mar 14, 2006 (AP)— South Korea's prime minister resigned Tuesday after drawing a firestorm of criticism for playing golf rather than overseeing the government's response to a railway strike." Damn!
