Weekend Away...

I took a trip to Connecticut this weekend, I stayed in Stamford with JC and Ty...some old friends from college. I got there Saturday night and we ended up deciding to take the train ride into NYC around midnight. We met up with some of his euro buddies and went to The Mansion...one of the nicest clubs in NYC, got in VIP..it was a pretty good time, although drinks were ungodly expensive. $16 for a drink...would be shitfaced on $16 in GB. Saw Brian my buddy from high school, which was good to see him. Ended up getting somewhat stranded walking the streets of NYC at 4:00am, but eventually found our way back to CT by 5...Sunday was spent at Buffalo Wild Wings, drinking numerous beers and eating wings, watching football. That was enjoyable, I missed winggggggssss. The whole reason I went to CT was to take my Playing Ability Test to get into the PGA program... 36 holes, had to shoot 154... Played solid the first round and shot 72, 2 birdies 2 bogeys....then got a little to relaxed and coasted in with a 77. Took 2nd place and was one of the 3 people out of 40 that passed. Now I get to start on my books! yippie........ It was good to be home though, my bed was heaven and it was great to see my girly Sophie... She has been kind of lonely with Links and Eric leaving. But now she and Lissie are the women of the house and she'll be good without links biting at her tail. I'm hoping to spend the next couple weeks, slowly rejuvinating the house and making it into a warm home to spend the summer.. Its shaping up everday. I'm out...

East Coast Wayz

Shit is different out here, most of the time it goes unnoticed..But there are most definitely times when I realize the trends that are different out here, on Cape at least. I'm about to rant....... Dunkin Dounuts are on every fucking corner, everyone gets "dunked" out here (I made up that term), doughnuts or coffee or iced whatever! In my 20 minute drive to work I pass...6 Dunkin Dounuts...5 too many. Scratch Tickets are like gold here, everyone buys scratch tickets, its seems to be a way of life out here to try and win big on that $20 card...most of the games are based around red sox...its unreal. People are rich out here, real fucking rich...sick rich, silly rich and dumb rich. nough said. They are also loud, not necessarily rude, just loud, bold, straightforward. They live and die by boston sports..I can't even begin to explain...just as die hard as Green Bay fans, it's scary. There isn't any fast food out here, or I should say very little...Falmouth has the only McDonalds on Cape Cod, and I believe the only Burger King. There are no Wendy's, Perkins (people don't know what Perkins is), no Taco Bell, Taco Johns...no mexican food at all! I have to go over to Martha's Vineyard to have a burrito...fuck. People say "Wicked" a lot, and they also don't have R's out here...I'm going to the Baaaaaa in my Caaaaaaaaa to have some Bee aaaaaaaaaa (I'm going to the Bar to have some BeeRRRRRR) It's pretty fun to talk like them actually, I try to blend in some east coast slang every once in awhile... Went to a members house couple nights ago for a party, 20 guys, T bone steak, Lobster, Seamed clams, full bar, beautiful back deck, on the ocean, owns 3 house on the property...bottom line, silllllly rich! It was a fun night.

Sincerly,
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaason

Yo!

Back after a few days, this weekend was busy at work...the weather was beautiful to say the least and there was a lot of people on Cape for the Holiday weekend. The Fall has been great here, weather is pretty steller, a little chilly in the mornings and nights but great during the day. I like this weather, sweatshirt weather...I don't know why, but when its cool like this I feel like I'm in Wisconsin...that's pretty pathetic, but for some reason it just feels good. Eric is moving to Houston, TX next week. He took a job working for his uncle, he'll be working with computers in some regard. I don't know what exactly though, neither does he I believe. The house will be less active, mostly because Links will not be causing chaos day and night. Not really too much chaos though, just playing and barking with sophie along with getting into some garbage once in awhile. He's just a little boy....punk But this winter is shaping up to be pretty quiet. I'm ok with that!

Hollllllla

Back to work after a two day vacation...back to back days off, it's crucial to your sanity. Work these days is pretty bullshit, only a couple of golfers per day...I end up just spending most of my days at work, golfing, practicing or reading articles online. There is very little work to be done... My days off, I did as close to nothing as possible, I drank 14 Keystones in 2 hours...passed out shortly there after...but I gave my roomates some comic relief with my drunken antics. That was the first time I've had a keystone since beer pong in Wisco..tasted great, kind of like a spicy water..ha That was the highlight of my week, although I also bought some movies, played golf and beat Werchy in one of the 4 games of bball we played. Ryan has nothing on me... Most of all I miss Wisco buds....and my friends! yaaaaa knowwwwwww....

Rained out...

The rain has once again taken control of the east coast, it has been pouring since late thursday night...I believe we got around 4 inches of rain in the last two days, I've spent much of those two days on the couch watching movies and chillin out.. Went out the other night with Werchy, listened to some live folk music at an Irish Pub and then ended the night with some see through's at the Roo Bar...The walk home was quite interesting to say the least, we'll just leave it at that...Larry most def came out though. Played golf and went out to dinner with our favorite member, it was a real fun day...he actually said alot of stuff that I took to heart at dinner about life and business in general. It was a good time, he is truely a great man. I miss being around Madison for badger games and Camp Randall...those were some good times...

Productive Day!

I've had quite the day today, was up around 7:45..It's pretty pathetic that even when you don't have to get up early..you do get up early. Is that a sign of age or simply getting used to waking up for a job? I tell people its a sign off me getting old, same with the 10pm bedtime...ha I'm OLD! But anyways, I got up this morning and went for a run with sophie down to the ocean and back on the bike path, which is about 3 miles, I'm trying to run everyday, starting yesterday... 2 for 2!whooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaa...It's really nice running down there in the morning and evening, its such a breath taking view to look out on the ocean and Martha's Vineyard....I washed dishes after I got home from the run, which is a major accomplishment bc I tend to never wash dishes (because I never use them)...After that I got a much needed haircut, although the hispanic girl on the maintence crew decided to tell me that it looks better long..haaahaa

At Work....

Apparently the only way I'm able to post at this moment, is from work...for some reason my computer isn't able to log me in to this, only one of the many things its not able to do at this point. 5:00AM comes way to fucking early, it is unreal...there is something about going to work when it's pitch dark out this simply isn't right...I just saw my first person in the pro shop at 8:10, and I've been here since 6:15..but then again I've been busy setting up the range and locker room. All our staff has left for the year, which means more work for me! This weekend was good, Eric turned 25...he's old as fuck. Vikings won, and the US took the Ryder Cup! Couldn't have asked for much else... Time to go pick the range!

Back to Work

It was back to work today, after my mini vacation (one which felt like weeks, I didn't know what to do with myself)... Willlowbend is flat out dead, today there were only about 15 people or so to go out...it was such a beautiful day, pretty sad to be honest. I got done at 5 and went out and played, I played the front nine in 41 minutes, I shot 34... It goes quick when you hit fairways, greens and make a few putts. Talked to my parents tonight, miss them very much, miss my family, miss wisco...but content with day to day! I'm set in quite the groove...

Fenway Sunset...one of the 3 games this summer, great place!

Wacky Weekend

Quite the weekend for me, the cape seems to be blessed with the rain gods as of late. But in reality it's nothing, compared to whats happening weather wise across the nation. It poured all weekend, the last big event of the year...the member/member. I played both days as a marker, so that was refreshing although it was raining...I don't mind that at all, anything to get out of the shop. The first day I played with two older members, a 36 handicap and 22...it was an a long round. The second day it was really raining hard and I played with two 70 year old ladies...One of them is miserably slow and the other is one of my favorite members... She's a loud, cig puffing, martini dirking, east coast women, around 70 years old....shes ridiculously hilarious, "OHHHH MY GOD, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SHOT" She's as blunt as they come. Those were some interesting rounds, and nice to get paid to play golf. Always a treat. I had today off, so naturally I had a number of drinks with friends last night at the Roo Bar...memory is scattered. On my off days, I buy movies...Its my treat for working like a fucking dog all week, I've bought probably 50 dvd's this summer...My collection is growing rapidly, I've been buying a lot of old movies that I simply should own.. Today it was, The Shining, The Exorsist, Friday Night Lights, Gangs of New York...Won some money on games this weekend, solid! Day off tomorrow, not sure what to do...may play golf, relax to the fullest. Take Care

Numero Uno

I feel as though I'm out of touch with friends and family, I can't decided if its the thousands of miles that seperate us or the ill attempts to reach out and correspond with one another. It's sad and often times forgotten, but there are many people that I wish I was still close to. So this is my attempt to let everyone know whats going on in my life, and how I'm doing..its the least I can do, it's my part. Plus I hope this to be somewhat entertaining, I've enjoyed reading some blogs as of late... mine will be fun. I'm going to be brutally honest, I don't really care at this point...everyone that will read this knows me. I'll post everyday, probably going to take a picture everyday on my phone of something interesting. Gotta go to bed, work at 6:15 Member/Member starts tomorrow...supposed to be raining=never fun to work tourneys in the rain, but I love playing in them!
