Quality TV

Last night I had the honor of seeing probably one of the greatest television shows created. Allow me to explain. Tiger Woods' swing coach Hank Haney is taking on the challenge of teaching Charles Barkley. If you have never seen him swing a golf club, entertain yourself and look him up here. He is terrible. Hank Haney is easily one of the nation's best swing coaches, so this is quite a project for him.

On the show last night, Haney talks about Charles completing a Tiger day. A Tiger day consists of 6am wake up, run, lift, breakfast, on the practice tee at 9am-11am, putt for 30 min, lunch, play 9 holes, back to the practice tee at 2pm-4pm, short game practice till 5pm, putt till 5:30, play another 9 holes. Charles Barkley is by no means in any sort of shape to complete this agenda. However, he spends a solid 8 hours on the practice tee, completing over 1000 swings. Towards the end of the day Charles says, "No one can have fun working like this".

The show is brilliant. Tiger even made a cameo appearance. Here is he imitating Charles' swing.....

Haha

Snowed Out

I am currently in a quaint little Inn, in Pinehurst, North Carolina. If you are a frequent reader of this blog, you might know that I looooove Pinehurst. I have posted pictures of Payne Stewart's statue and written in adoration for this holy ground. Well folks, my luck here has run out. I am a senior and my last chance to play Pinehurst is gone. Two inches of snow fell last night and temperatures hoovering around freezing will keep us from teeing it up this week.

As for the remainder of our trip, it will be filled with good food, staring at books, typing, and studying till I fall asleep. Midterms this week.
