Thinks I Would Like To Do This Summer
Just a little list of the things I would like to accomplish this summer. These could all change by next week, but right now this is what I am thinking about. I really think this summer is going to be great. I usually have this attitude going into summer and this one is no different with exception that I REALLY REALLY think this summer is going to awesome. I plan on working hard to make sure I am right. Last summer? Not so great. Good, but not great.There is a ton of room for improvement.
Ok, this is what I am going to do this summer:
- Pass the pre-qualifying test for the PGA. This should be no problem.
- Pass the PGA’s player ability test. I did it quite a few years ago, and with enough practice there is no reason I can’t do it again.
- I am going to concentrate more on my ball golf this summer, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also work hard on my Disc Golf. I want to be shooting near par consistently by the end of the summer. Being new to the game, I think I have a lot of room to improve my skills and I think I am capable of being pretty decent.
- I want to play in an official Disc Golf tourney just to see how I do and absorb some technique from the people who really know how to play.
- I read an article today that said Melbourne Australia is the capital of Southern Hemisphere golf. I will be researching a possible move there (or somewhere cool) this summer as I continue working toward becoming a golf pro. I would love to work down there (or somewhere cool) for even just this upcoming winter. A year of summer sounds pretty good.
- I will go to the lake A LOT! I think I went twice last summer and if you know me, that is just unacceptable.
- I will try to talk my dad into letting me keep the jet-ski over here this summer. It would get so much more use and I know it wants to go to the lake WAY more than it did last year as well.
- I am going to have a great time at Troy and Burl’s wedding. It will be fun to get back together and party with some friends I haven’t seen in a while, as well as with my current group of friends.
- I am going to keep working out and try to even notch it up a bit. I have been super active the last few months and my body is thanking me for it. It likes to have fun too!
- I want to meet some new people in Bend. I am really horrible at doing this but I would really like to try. Maybe I will join some sort of club or group to get myself out there.
- I am going to keep reading as much as possible. I will always be taking a book to the lake and since I will be going there a lot, I could get a lot of reading in this summer. Sounds good.
- I would like to repair a friendship, if even possible now, that I am not too interested in losing.
- I am going to make an effort to be incredibly nice and positive around anyone and everyone this summer. I think I do a pretty decent job of doing that right now, but I will be stepping it up in this area as well. That’s the kind of person I want to be for two reasons. One, it makes me feel good, and two, others just like being around people like that! This could even help with the meeting new friends things mentioned above.
- There is a quote from my favorite movie that I also just heard at a funeral (celebration of life) that is great. “Get busy living, or get busy dying”. Well, this summer I plan on getting super busy living!
Have a great summer everyone. It is almost here!
Nice! This was great to read. Get busy liv’in dude
Love Mommiepoohead

Whose funeral was it where you heard the Shawshank quote?
The wedding should be a lot of fun! I think Burl and I are just going to camp with you guys after the wedding… it was a pain to try to find a hotel or something.
