Go Team Top-Flite

Well I qualified for the Industry Cup, which was my goal, but I really wanted to be on the A-Squad, the Callaway Team. And I screwed that all up with 1 swing...

All day long we were looking for my playing partners balls in the trees. We were even looking for their balls on par 3's! Then on the back side the marshall came by telling us we were holding up the course. Wasn't me. I could find my ball... Anyways, after looking for 2 balls on 16 for like 5 minutes, I just marched up to where my ball and another's were, and hit my shot up to 5 feet. Looks like another birdie.

I then walked up next to the green and waited another 5 minutes for the other guys to play up. While I was waiting, the guy whose ball was next to mine in the fairway called up to me and said I had hit his ball. SHIT!

So I walked back up the fairway took my drop and proceeded to make a bogey, plus the 2 shot penalty for hitting the wrong ball. That gives me a big fat 7 instead of the potential 3 I could have made... Oh well.

I ended up shooting 79. which put me right on the border between the Odyssey and Top-Flite teams. And since no one really knows me, I got placed on the Top-Flite team. Thats ok, I will just have to go really low in the event so that they will remember next year!

The format looks like fun. We play 27 holes: 9 holes of Scramble, 9 holes of Best Ball, and 9 holes of Chapman. I am paired up with Tim who is also on the R&D team so it should be fun. I hope we play well enough to bring home the cup. That would be really cool. But I am sure those Taylor Made guys are going to be tough!

Nate Update

We have finally got somewhat settled into our new place. It's real nice! Its quiet here, which is amazing, we can actually sleep with the windows open now. We have tons of storage now, at the last place we didn't even have a linen closet. The garage is nice, we have easy access to the bikes, and we have some room to keep some things down there.

Some of you know but we bought a new tv...! It's awesome! We have wanted one for a while and it was kind of a treat to ourselves. We don't do that very often, so it was nice to do. As usual I found one for a great deal. We ended up getting a Hitachi 42" 1080i Plasma. And now that we have an HDTV feed, watching television rocks. Golf, football, everything looks awesome. I can't wait to get a Playstation 3 to play on this bad boy...

As I have mentioned before, I have my Industry Cup qualifier on Sunday. I have played 1 round of golf in the last 2.5 months. So it should be interesting. We have the 45 best players in the company, and being a golf company there are a ton of good players, going at it for 25 spots. We have 3 teams, Callaway, Odyssey, and Top-Flite. I really want to be on the Callaway (the top tier) squad. We'll see what I can do. I have to tee it at 7am. And you all know how well I function at 7am...

Finally Got My Driver

So after waiting for 5 months for the Driver heads to become available, I finally got my new driver. It's an FT-5 Tour 10.5 Neutral, and it came straight from the Tour department just like the rest of them. Here is my new beauty:


And as always I have a trusty Fujikura Speeder 553 Tour Spec as an engine in it.


So my set is finally complete. And I have the Industry Cup qualifier in 2 weeks. The Industry Cup is a Ryder Cup type event between Callaway Golf and Taylor Made Golf. I hope to qualify because I really want to play in this event. It looks like a ton of fun!
