Employee of the Month

I have been working at my job for about a year and a half now. And I have been doing great work, multiple promotions and raises, but I have never been nominated for Employee-of-the-Month. This I thought was really weird considering how hard I work...My thought behind it was because I would never be able to use the front row parking spot that comes with it, so people would be jealous.

But this month I was finally nominated, twice. So hopefully I win, I would like to have that on my resume...And damn it I am going to lock my bike up right to the Employee-of-the-Month parking sign!

Nike Deal

I have been in talks with some Nike guys and it looks like I might be a Nike Staff Professional in the near future...

It could just mean that I get some new clubs, or it could go as far as having a full contract to where I have a clothing and equipment deal. I just want to get on staff with some company, I think it would be really cool to be on the inside loop for once. And Nike would be the best since they have such a big presence at my club.

I now need to talk to my boss and see if we can make me an official Reserve Golf Assistant Professional...

I'm an Apprentice

After a beautiful exhibition (hah) of putting by me, I missed 16 putts inside 5 feet over 36 holes, I shot a 151 and passed my PAT. So now all I have to do is register with the PGA and I will be a PGA Apprentice Golf Professional. I was getting a little worried after the first round when I shot a 77. I had already missed 10 putts inside 5 feet, and I should have made at least 7 of them.

I started the second round really well, after 3 holes I was 2 under, but after 9 holes I had missed a few more putts and I had slipped to 1 over. So now I had 9 holes to go and 1 shot to give to pass. Number 10 is a par five, I hit a monster drive and had a 7 iron into it. I missed the green to the right, and proceeded to chip it in followed by my imitation of a Tiger Woods fist pump. I was then able to kind of cruise my way in, because I now had 3 shots to give with 8 to go, With two of the easiest holes to go.

Anyways enough talking about golf...

Finals Are Over!!

To anyone who actually reads this blog (hahahaha), sorry its been so long between the last posts.

Well finally Finals are over. I spent quite a few hours studying, hope it pays off. This is the first term I had where it could go any way. I thought about it and I could anywhere from around a 2.0, all the way up to about 3.33. So I am a little anxious to get my grades....

I have the PAT (player ability test) for the PGA on the 21st. I need to beet 75/76 to pass the test. If I pass this test, I will most likely be made an Assistant Professional at the golf club. Which will be nice to make some more money for not really having to do any more work.
