summer hobby

There's a sport I've become quite accustomed to this summer:

Its called golf.  I've always liked it, but I've never cared about it enough (or practiced enough) to get good at it.  This summer I decided it was time. 

This is what I like most about this sport:

1. The landscape.  So peaceful.  So relaxing. So perfect after a long day of work. 

2. Spending time with Dad.. and occasionally Tay.  And learning from both of their skills.

3. Getting a farmer tan, and a sock tan.   And wearing baseball caps for the first time in my life.

4. Not having to keep score.  I refuse to keep score until my score is work keeping. 

5. One day I will be so terrible, and the next day I will drive straight onto the greens (from par 3's of course)

6.  The fact (or hope) that some day, I will get to design a golf course of my very own--being a Landscape Architecture major has its benefits.

Here is a short video of my swing.  I'm still working on it.  Also, I think that all the self confidence I have acquired throughout my life has come from Dad's (kind, but not necessarily truthful) compliments.  Listen to what he says at the end of this clip. 

he he.  That's all!
