@xOldBenKenobiX nice looking ride! 

The important question is how many sets of clubs fit in the back??

It is the wife's car, so none, but if I borrow I am sure we can fit 4 bags easily.

I am also getting a new ride my self, I am on planning and getting the new Blazer, but the color I want will not be at the dealership for a couple of weeks, so fingers crossed.

Blazer vs Equinox....  Blazer = more golf bag capacity.....smart choice!!!

I needed the extra space for the push cart, and of course  a few more bells and whistles.

Finally understanding the difference between the north and the south. I am in process of joining a golf club and also a gun club and my monthly dues for both combined are less than my capital assessment  for my club on Long Island. For golf I am going semi private but it is a 36 hole club and the gun club is completely private. These days I am not sure which I enjoy  more shooting or playing golf. 
 

ok. I enjoy both equally

Nice, that is a hell of an accomplishment . I am just working into competition level with trap. My son is still better than me but I am a better shot with a pistol and an AR so I have that going for me.

In these weird times Allyssa and I were able to share a special day and have a wonderful wedding. Nothing big or fancy, a simple yet perfect day with close friends and our dogs. We were so happy to have good weather and amazing food along with great company!

Proud dad moment. My daughter came in third place in the heptathlon for the 18 year old division. This meet included all the surrounding states in the competition. She qualified to go to the Junior Olympics in Houston. It will be a great experience for her. 

I don't know why it's in Houston in August. These kids are gonna die in that heat on an outside track. Last time it was there they had to water the track because the surface temperature was 120 degrees and the first runners got burn blisters on their feet through the track shoes.

I really can't wait till she goes off to college in August. Not that I want her to leave home, but because the college would now be paying to get her to all these meets. Sports is like a money pit until your out of High School and travel teams. Three plane tickets, hotel for a week, rental car, and meals. Adds up when you are doing it every month.  Her qualifying was this past week. Wednesday through Saturday all out of town staying in a hotel. At least it was only 1-3/4 hours away. Close enough to drive every day but when they want you warmed up and on the track by 8 am it doesnt work.  So, more hotels and eating out. If she didn't make it the next meet was in Vegas in two weeks. At least I can be grateful for not having to go to Vegas.

Sounds like someone just found some extra funds for some new clubs

Congratulations on her accomplishments and hope Houston isn’t too bad.

Your right about Kids and sports.  Our Gkids have been crazy busy over the years with Baseball, Softball, Tennis and even band.  Trips all over the country and One Softball Trip was to Spain for 2weeks!!  That was a hit on Grandpa piggy bank.

I am SO stoked! Yesterday I bought tickets for my 17 year old’s very first concert!!! My son LOVES music, choir, and plays, and he really came to love the singing of one of this year’s American Idol contestants, Willie Spence. So, I looked-up on the internet to see if Willie has a tour, and sure enough, he does! Bought tickets for the Atlanta show, including the “meet-and-greet”. My son is going to crap his pants!!! I can’t wait to see his face when we tell him. The show isn’t until August, so it’s gonna be tough to hold-on to the news.

So stoked. I’ll be with him at his first concert. Man, so blessed!!!!
