After reading Travis' blog about the US Open coming to Torrey Pines, and going to the Buick Invitational last weekend, I've got the itch to get out and start playing more golf. I haven't played since I got waxed by my buddy Snider on New Years Eve so I probably need to practice a little, too!
Fortunately, I have a couple of opportunities for free golf (apparently weekly at the San Diego Country Club, basically anytime at Chula Vista Golf Course, and a free round coming at Riverwalk...also occasionally free at the Auld), plus I have a resident card for Torrey Pines so I like to play there a lot, too (Travis, hit me up before you come into San Diego next time and I can let you know how to get a resident card!!!)
Anyway, watching the pros hit made me think about what I need to work on in my game. On the first hole of the South Course, I watched 15 pros tee off (including Mickelson's group), and more than half of them hit into the fairway bunker. Only about 3 or 4 pros hit the fairway. But where they make their money is around the green. Watching even the no name pros, they all seem to hit the ball right at the hole! Unfortunately, I would be in the bunker, plus not hit it anywhere near the hole so I got some work to go. But...I will be there someday. I just got to start playing some golf!!!

Speaking of girls who rock
Instead of watching an episode of "According to Jim" that was TiVo'd in Spanish, I am surfing YouTube for some good videos.
I remember about 8 months ago I read an article in Guitar World about a new band called Paramore. The picture was fronted with this tiny girl in red dyed hair and I figured it was some new-age, Coldplay-type band with no teeth. Then I heard this song...
One of my favorite songs for now!!! This girl rocks!
Oh, Tony Romo...you picked wrong
Not only is she an amazing country singer, she is rocking Skid Row, too??? Now Tony Romo is dating Joe Simpson's daughter. Big mistake.

Poor Chargers :(
Well, the run finally came to an end. This was such an up-and-down season that I didn't know if I could take anymore. Anyway, congrats on a fun season (second half at least) and next year, we shouldn't have to deal with a 18-0 Patriots team.
