Back to School

So this evening I registered for courses at SDSU. I am starting an online program to get my Professional Certificate in Project Management. I feel that until I can start on a Masters degree (most programs require 2 years in industry), I can get my PMI Certificate. Callaway is offering tuition reimbursement for this program for me, so thats cool.

Here is the description for the program. SDSU gives me a year to complete it, but I see myself getting it done by the end of summer. Should be interesting since I have been out of school for a couple years now, and I have a full-time job that is very mentally taxing. I feel that it will get me more prepared to embark on a Master's Program though.

So I hope this goes well and doesn't burn me out too much...

My New Driver

So I bought myself a new driver. Not really to replace the one I have, but just as a test club and a spare. I got the new FT-5 iMix, <- check out the website. This is a cool new product that we just released. It allows me to change shafts or club heads as I wish.

So if I am playing a short tight course, I could take an FTi head and a shorter shaft and make a very straight and dependable driver. If I am playing a more wide open course, I could take an FT-5 head and a longer shaft to get more distance.

Or I can even take it to the next level. If its cold, I could use a softer flex driver to help attain more height. On wet days, use a driver head with more loft to increase my carry. On windy days get a shorter stiffer lower lofted driver to hit low penetrating shots. As you can see the options are endless...

Currently all I have is one head and one shaft. But I am planning on having about 5 to 6 shafts shortly. Don't know when I will be getting another head though. Kind of waiting for the new FTi LCG head in a fade configuration. I just hook the normal one TOO much.

Anyways, here it is:




Isn't she a beauty...

Great Callaway Video

So here is a movie that they filmed about the process we take to make our golf balls at work. They spent a full day going through and filming us. Sorry... I am not in it, only our prototyping crew.

But its a good watch and you can see the full process from start to finish. Just click on the Callaway Logo below, the video is in the lower right hand corner.

My Logitech Harmony One

So I got a Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote. This thing is awesome! I spent about 5 minutes setting it up and about 20 minutes customizing it.


The cool part is the multi-function buttons on the touch screen lcd. I have programed in "PLAY A DVD", you just press this button and the TV turns on, the DVD turns on, the stereo turns on, and it will even press play for me. Hit "Watch TV", and the DVD player turns off, the stereo turns off, the TV's input turns to the cable box, and the cable box turns on. This thing can even control a remote control HVAC system, light systems, pretty much anything that has a remote...

This thing is just phenomenal. Best part is that it was Slick Nater's best deal ever!
