Less Wind Today–Better Golf Score

My friends and I went back to Tierra Del Sol this morning. The wind was very calm as we started our round of golf. I was 2 over after 4 – tremendous improvement from the day before. I ran into some trouble coming in on the last holes. Luckily the rain held off as we finished.

Windy Day = Bad Golf Score

I went out with a couple of friends today and played the front 9 on Tierra Del Sol. The winds were gusting nearly 40 mph which resulted in a couple of bad holes. Hopefully tomorrow will be less windy.

Back on the Golf Range Today

 

It’s been 3 weeks since I’ve been able to swing a golf club. It was great to get out in some warm weather and hit a bucket of balls. Considering it was a 3 week break, I was happy with my swing. Heading to the course tomorrow near McAllen, TX.

Reinventing the Technology of Human Accomplishment

One of my peers sent me a link to a very thought provoking video on adapting management to the 21st century by Gary Hamel. The video is approximately 15 minutes in length.
