I got a chance to redesign the site for my local golf course last fall.  I love playing at Schneiter’s Bluff as it’s just around the corner from my house and as it matures it’s turning into quite a beautiful spot to play.  Anyway, the site is really 3 sites…one for Schneiter’s Bluff Golf Course, [...]

I did well over Christmas…got a wii fit even after I had dropped some weight.  I let myself slide a bit and was back up to 215.  By mid-January, I was 215 again.  Becky finally got us both on a program that made more sense…we’re actually logging our food each day and counting the calories. [...]

So I finally got my act together!  As I mentioned in my last post about weight loss I have finally gotten behind a real effort to drop some weight and at my weigh in this week I had proven to have lost 6 pounds in the last 7 days!  I’m totally excited and I am [...]

Alright, I can honestly say that it was the last straw.  I thought that just walking every day would do it but as much as I need the exercise, I realized that John Daly walked every day and was one of the best golfers in the world at one time!  It’s my diet.  So, this [...]

It is with great pride that I announce here on my blog that the second of my 2009 golfing goals has been met.  I set out to break 80 this year from the tips and this past Sunday I shot a 78 from the black tees at my home course, Schneiter’s Bluff Golf Course!  I’m [...]

Apparently I didn’t mean it before and seeing as this is Tuesday and I haven’t exercised yet this week, I would venture to say that my heart isn’t really in this yet.  I’m going to play as many holes of golf as I can in a couple of hours so hopefully that will help me [...]

Isn’t great to spend time with friends?  It’s been a long time since Billy and I spent as much time with each other as we have this week.  Monday we did 18 at Schneiter’s Riverside, Tuesday we did 18 at Bountiful Ridge, Friday we did 9 at the Bluff and he just called me for [...]

This isn’t going to be as easy as I thought.  I mean come on!  1 pound?  I need to do better.  I hate that I’m starting off slow because you can see by my milestones that I’ve got some pretty lofty milestones up front.  I hope I don’t need to adjust them.  We’ll see what [...]

I am really writing this so that I can look back some day at where I came from. I recently played in the Utah Mid-Amateur Championship.  It is a tournament reserved for men at least 25 years of age and at least a 9.9 handicap index.  It was played at Thanksgiving Point – course that [...]

So I got to play in a scramble on Friday and it was a lot of fun.  Hubbard Golf Course at Hill Air Force Base is tough, but it’s beautiful.  Billy and I teamed up with Dad and Jordan and we did pretty well considering Jordan is new to the game and Dad just started [...]
