Blog Post: Golf is hardwork. Why not get paid for it?

It's Monday and I'm back from a full week of vacation in Colorado, fully rested yet slightly worse for wear. Not out of step with my past precedent I managed to dislocate my shoulder on the first day of my vacation turning my snowboard retreat into a 3 run warm up and 6 day cool down. Alas, it's hard not to enjoy yourself in one of the most beautiful places in the world and my despair about lost days on the hill was forgotten in the face of good food, friends and long snow shoes.

Optimism aside, today's video will continue to highlight the lost opportunity of the coming weeks due to my negligence on the hill. This weeks interview is with Bird Academy Golf Instructor, and former LPGA professional Shirley Furlong. Shirley had some great advice that can be applied to any pursuit requiring discipline and fierce competition. In fact it is not uncommon for golfers to make allusions relating lessons learned on the links to life's more enigmatic questions.

It doesn't look as though I'll have much oppurtunity to swing a club in the coming weeks, more qualified to drive a cart than a golf ball. I'll just have to spend my March afternoons in the desert kicking back, reading a book and enjoying a brew. And as Dean Martin said, "If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt."
