narromindedjr It’s fall and it feels sooo… hot, still. I walked 12 holes the other day and looked like I just got off the basketball court, drenched in sweat. I, personally cannot wait until it cools down. I say that, but it felt amazing on the water, fishing this past weekend. My grandpa took me and one of his employees, who is my age, out to the Rigolets, in Slidell. We didn’t even break a sweat, and caught 25 keepers. Jake finally found enough time to squeeze a nine holes with me in his busy fall golf schedule. I brought out the new clubs that were Jake’s previously, and played like I haven’t played with the clubs yet. I’m thinking I might tweak the driver to a higher degree because I was blocking everything right with it. Jake, of course, shot three under and had three other putts for birdie that were very near to going in as well. I just need to practice with the clubs a bit longer to get a feel for them. I am looking forward to playing a round or two with the guys on the team this year. I worked in tandem with my parents to get the golf team and their equipment to the By Shayne Narro airport and it all went smoothly for their recent event. I get jealous from those guys playing high level courses all over the country and a few of them all over the world because they are international students. There are only relatively a few golf courses locally that are feasible to play on a regular basis. I am graduating with an OSHE degree from Southeastern Louisiana University, and I’m trying to figure out if I can find a secure job locally or try to chase the money around the country working turnarounds as a safety administrator. If I plan to travel with my job, I feel like I will definitely have the opportunity to play a lot of great golf courses. That is definitely factored into the decision. When golf grabs you, it grabs you. And it has definitely grabbed me. I’m 22 years old, and I’m already planning it into my life longterm. And so ... it begins.
