LOL, As for going to the course today... I was on a plane early AM heading to Florida. Plans were to just hang around my MIL's house until dinner. After I land, my MIL said she would watch the kids if I wanted to go golfing. Before she even finished the sentence, I threw the bag in the car and high tailed it out of there:) back was tight from being on the plane for so long, but I was out on an unexpected partial round of golf (we didn't start until 3:30ish). Love this Florida weather! BTW, Carolina Golfer 2, I was wrong about the putter in the backup bag in Florida. Check out the pics below as it may seem familiar to you :) a PGA Pro's old putter...

I still have a Never Compromise putter.  It's called a Voodoo Daddy and I occasionally go back to it as it's pretty hawt at times.

The Civil War  -  Oregon vs. Oregon State

They have been playing the Civil War since 1894, and OSU hadn't beaten UO since 2007, but today the Beavs win 34-24.   

 

Finally!  Sorry MmmmmmBuddy.   :D

I just noticed in the chat window, there are currently 28 users on chat right now.   That's fanstastic.  I think up until a few weeks ago, the most I would see was like 4 or 5.

 

MGS Owners and Staff must be doing something right, to see such growth in the community in just a short amount of time.  I love it!!

It Is kind of funny that some people think anybody can do sales and be successful. Ok I'm not a genius and I haven't written hundreds of books on sales. But I do have almost 15 years of successful sales background.

 

For some to think without any experience, that they can go do it is humorous. I do believe some people are born with natural skills and can succed in what ever areas those are. I wasn't that fortunate. I have to rely on acquired people skills, a natural friendliness and most of all, determination and not giving up.

 

There's more to it than just having lunch with a potential client. Ha

You mean that most displaced steel workers really aren't carpenters/cabinetmekers? Hmmm...... that explains some things. :rolleyes:

Well.... I don't know about that, can someone go from swinging a steel sledgehammer that is a E35 swing-weight to a regular hammer at a C3 Swing-weight...LOL    I probably just exhibited a total lack of knowledge in both steel-work and carpentry there...LOL   

 

I should clarify, I wasn't saying skills from one career don't transfer to another.  it was more a comment on someone recently suggesting they need a career change but don't have experience doing anything else,  and someone telling them they should go into sales, it doesn't require any experience.   Which again, some areas it may not, I mean I'm selling golf courses, and I had no experience selling golf courses before, but I did have experience selling a similar product, something with a perishable time frame, and was based on dates and capacity...etc.

So you're selling golf courses to rich people or are you advertising for golf courses to draw in more players etc. ?

Today is special as my Dad served in Pearl Harbor.  He would sit and talk to me about what happened during the early morning of this historic day.  As a Vietnam veteran myself, I could relate to the fear and anxiety that those brave men faced during the attack. God bless those soldiers who are still with us and the families of those loss on that fatal morning.
