I don’t play golf (not counting the “mini” variety). I’ve never walked a fairway and couldn’t drive a ball straight repeatedly if I tried, and trust me, I’ve tried! Jeff took me to a driving range a few years ago and he’s probably still wishing he hadn’t. Using the house drivers, every ball I hit ricocheted off the divider that separates the bays. To my credit though, using Jeff’s “special” driver, I did hit one really nice striaght shot, but I think Jeff was a little uneasy seeing his favorite driver in my clumsy hands.
Anyway, just because I don’t play doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the sport. I enjoy watching the big tournaments (the Masters, the U.S. Open, etc.) and I even have a few golfers that I root for (I wonder, does one actually “root” for someone in golf?). Among the golfers that I respect is Fuzzy Zoeller. Why? Well, for starters, he’s won the Masters Tournament, and any golfer that’s won the Masters deserves respect. He’s also made a hole-in-one (probably more than one!), and although luck had a lot to do with it, it was still an amazing shot!

Just take a look at this:

Update: It seems that YouTube removed the video. If you can find it elsewhere, I would highly recommend that you watch it. It’s truely amazing!

It’s ok. You can admit it. You love The Simpsons just as much as I do. That being the case, you’ll absolutely love this video! And if you don’t like The Simpsons, I’m sure that you can appreciate the effort that went into this!

It seems Tuesday was the day for adoptions in the Reynolds family. Kimberly and I adopted Livia Julius from Sweet Binks, while my parents added this new fellow to their household.

His name is Max, and he’s a 4 month old Bichon/Maltese mix. He’s energetic and quite the handful at the moment, but that’s just the puppy in him. I’m sure he relax a bit as he gets older.
