Golf and money

For those of us who follow the game of golf, we are all aware of the pressure on the players to perform. What we are not always aware of is the amounts of money that ride on a golfers score. Sometimes, many thousands of dollars can be won or lost on a single stroke. Such was the case with Brandt Snedeker.

Recently, he missed a three foot shot that cost him nearly four hundred thousand dollars. Not to mention invitations to the British Open, Masters, and U.S. Open next year. I guess poor Brandt will have to try again next year, but I am sure that he is sick to his stomach.

Boating Heaven!

One of my favorite pastimes is to go boating. Ever since I was a young child, I have always enjoyed the water. I owe this to my parents who engrained the love of water in us. Some of my best memories involve being in the boat with my mom and dad. I remember when I learned to water-ski. It is something that I still enjoy doing today.

I like to take the kids out into the water as well. I hope to encourage them to learn how to swim and be safe in the water. I take them fishing and teach them all I know. I also like to put the boat into the water and just go explore. The river runs for miles and miles and I always like to see what is around the next corner. I’ll probably write more on this subject in the future as it is so close to my heart!

Got some new vitamins

I am a wrestler and because of that, I try to use only natural products.  I don’t want to put chemicals into my body that might slow me down or make my mind sluggish, you know.  Well I found a great web site that has nothing but pure 100% natural vitamins and supplements.  Yeah you might pay a little more but what you get is worth it.

A lot of the vitamins you buy at the grocery store or drug store isn’t even absorbed into your body.  These are and that’s one of the things that I like.  Why pay less and get a lot less, ya know.  I have to stay healthy so when wrestling season kicks back up, I’m still strong and ready to pin them all.

Going skiing with buddies

Heck yeah we’re headed to the slopes.  They aren’t but an hour or so from here and they have been making snow for a long time.  It got cold enough to make snow early this year.  Then there’s been several times that it snowed up to 6 inches at a time so there’s man made and real snow on the slopes.

Mom got me some new skis for Christmas and my grandmother got me some new ski clothes too so I would be warm enough.  She worries too much about me.  Well I was her first grandchild and she helped raise me while Mom worked but then when I was almost 8 years old, my sister was born and Mom stayed home and took care of her.  Anyway, I can’t wait to try out my new duds and skis.

The last time we went skiing, Shane fell and ended up rolling head over feet down the hill and then rolled right into a tree.  It was the funniest thing I have ever seen until we realized he had broken his leg.  Then it wasn’t too funny.  He was out of wrestling for the rest of the year too.  That sucked because he’s a great wrestler.  It really hurt the team last year but hopefully nothing like that will happen to any of us this year.
