My New Adventure...

I have decided to pick up a hobby, a new hobby that is. I have hobbies, shopping, traveling and reading, but I decided that I needed a hobby with some structure. Most adults have hobbies, like fishing, painting, scrap booking, etc, and I realized that I don't really have one that is common. So I decided that I would take up golf. Yes I said golf, for those of you who know me, you are probably thinking this is not for Stacey. But yes, I have put my mind to it and I took my first golf lesson today, early this morning at that. My first lesson was at 8:00am this morning, and for those of you who know me, know that was intirely to early for me to be functioning, but I did it and was on time.



I am taking golf lessons at the Wildcat Golf Club, Matt Swanson's School of Golf, http://www.swingpure.com/Default.aspx. My instructor, Bruce Olsen, http://www.swingpure.com/About/Bios/Wildcat/BruceOlsen.aspx, was highly recommended because of his many many years of experience and he is one of the Senior Instructors at the school.



So I arrive a few minutes early because for one, I am excited and two, I want to be on time because these classes are not cheap and I want to get my monies worth. I was thinking that we would go out on the course, so I went and purchased golf shoes and a few golf outfits because I didn't want to look like I was a rookie or something. So at exactly 8:00am Bruce walks in ready to go. We stayed inside today and started with the basic of holding the club and swing. After an hour of doing this, if feels if though I have been outside for hours. Everything hurts on me, my back (mostly), my legs, my knees, and my hands. And I am sweating really bad. Too much to say that I am inside.

Bruce says I did already for my first lesson. He suggested that I purchase a yard stick and not a club, to practice my swing and grip. I find it a little odd but he is the pro not me and this is why I am paying him the big bucks so I can become good at this.

I will keep you posted on my next lesson which is on Thursday, June 5 @ 4:00pm.

Let me hear from you, tell me your thoughts.

Peace and Hair Grease..
