PGA Merchandise Show


It's been a busy few days at the PGA Merchandise Show this week. I got to Orlando on Tuesday afternoon in time to set up for Demo Days at Orange County National Wednesday. I worked at the Play Golf America tent giving out information about our National Promotions and the new Get Golf Ready player development program. The rest of the show we were busy registering Professionals for national promotions.

This afternoon I attended a photo shoot at Osprey Golf Club at Disney for Women's Golf Month. Our three spokes people, Nancy Lopez, Suzy Whaley and Donna Richardson-Joyner were there for a video and photo shoot--the weather was cooler than normal Florida weather, but we had a good time, got some good photos and good b-roll for the new PSA for Women's Golf Month. It will be fun to see the final product! Be watching the Golf Channel in May!

Golfing Jupiter Dunes



It's been a fun week having Brooke visit me in Florida. Friday we spent the day at the PGA National pool. It was nice to have a lazy day and just hang out. Saturday we played golf at Jupiter Dunes with Ron and Kathy Stepanek and Kathy Wilkes. Sunday we played golf at PGA National on the Champ course with Stephanie Jennings.

Monday and today I worked, while Brooke enjoyed the Florida sunshine--trying to get a few last minute rays before I took her to the airport this evening for her return flight to Minnesota.

Looking forward the next visit from the family!

New Year's Day at the Outback Bowl



After a quiet New Year's Eve, we welcomed in the New Year by getting up at 5 a.m. to head for Tampa to watch the Iowa Hawkeyes and the South Carolina Gamecocks at the Outback Bowl. It was a three-hour drive from Jupiter to Tampa, so we arrived in plenty of time for the 11 a.m. game. Brooke, Kathy and I met my parents at the stadium and enjoyed a thrilling game where the Hawkeyes won 31-10. When the game was over, my parents headed to the airport to return to Des Moines, while Kathy, Brooke and I headed back to Jupiter.

Brooke has been here in Florida with me since Monday, Dec. 29th and will be here until Tuesday, Jan. 6th. We are looking forward to pool time, beach time and some golf this weekend.
