Luck o' the Scottish?

Yesterday, rains hard all day long.
Tomorrow, high of 47 with 30-45 mph winds.
Today, partly cloudy and 70. Today is golf league so how lucky is that?

My new Winn Grips should be on all my clubs by now, except my driver. Apparently TaylorMade R580's have a tapered shaft that's thicker at the end (that's what she said) and the new grip won't fit so they're putting another TM grip on it. Oh well, the other 13 will all be the same. Funny that my TM R580xd 3-wood doesn't have that problem. I hope to get to the course a tad early so I can at least get a couple swings with the new grips before heading out to the course.

Last night I watched a couple dvd's I had received as a member of the PGA Tour Partners Club. One was on the rules of golf and frequently asked questions. I learned a little about nearest point of relief and where to drop.

The other one was on driving for distance and accuracy. Ok, this is the most consistent part of my game so I was apprehensive about watching it but I learned some new mechanical things dealing with posture and grip. That won't hurt me... haha, famous last words. I learned much of what I already knew about relaxing it and swinging with a good tempo. I know when I really try to kill one I tense up and squeeze the shit out of the club and always push it right. Just have to think about having a good tempo and relaxing. Seems simple enough.

Anyone have Showtime? I started tivoing Penn and Teller's show called "Bullshit!". It's pretty good. They basically rip into idiots, like Cryptozoologists who hunt for big foot and the loch ness monster. Actually, just Penn does the talking since Teller doesn't talk. He just makes hand gestures... There is no magic in the show.

Speaking of magic, anyone watch the David Blaine aquarium thing Monday? I missed it, but I have one question. Did he pee in the water?

Later, lunch is over.

Well, that's a relief. A tube connected to his johnson so he can spray pee out of the aquarium onto passers by. How sweet, I hope he had ice cubes to aim at!
