Spring break

I have been looking forward to this weekend for almost a month! Friday night started out with beach therapy on the Juno Beach...when we arrived, there were HUGE wind gusts that made our beach therapy feel like we were being sandblasted! As the evening progressed, the wind died down and it turned out to be a nice evening. Ron brought a grill and cooked hot dogs for dinner and right before we left, we saw a huge sea turtle come ashore...it is the time of year when they come ashore to lay their eggs, so it was quite a sight to see.

Saturday morning I went to Sunrise to visit Sandy. In the afternoon I went to the PGA National pool before meeting Kathy for dinner at Cheesecake Factory.

Sunday we met for breakfast and our walk before I went to PBI to pick up Brooke! She will be here for a week for her spring break...we plan to play three or four rounds of golf and have a fun week together. Right now she is sleeping on the couch while Pam and I watch golf and NCAA basketball games...guess the 6 a.m. flight was too early for her!

Hangin' out at Juno Beach

The weather is starting to warm up which makes for packing lots of stuff into the weekends. Friday night started out at Zuccarelli's with some friends from work, followed by County Line pizza and some NCAA basketball games.

Saturday we got our beach walk in just before the rain settled in for the afternoon. Pam and I went to Smokey Bones for dinner then went to see the movie Duplicity - it was a great show and a fun way to spend a rainy evening.

Sunday Kathy and I met for breakfast at the Juno Beach Cafe then walked our 4 miles along the beach. I spent the afternoon at the PGA National pool listening to my iPod and catching up on some reading. Another great Florida weekend!

Another busy weekend

It's been another busy weekend...Friday night I met Jeff Rasmussen from Northfield for dinner at the Waterway Cafe. Jeff was in town following a business meeting in Northern Florida--so we met for dinner and played golf on Saturday. We got a tee time on the Champ course, which is slowly being returned to its post Honda Classic state. While Jeff and I were playing, there were workers on the course dismantling the bleachers and various TV towers throughout the course.

After golf Jeff left for PBI to catch his flight back to Philadelphia. I met Kathy, Pam and Susan for dinner at Bonefish Grill. It was the first time I dined at Bonefish and we all had great food. Always fun to get together with friends from work for dinner and conversation.

Sunday afternoon I ran some errands then Pam and I made marinaded chicken on the grill. While we were eating we watched the shuttle launch on TV, then went outside and saw the shuttle in the sky. Amazing to see it when it's 100+ miles away. This is the second shuttle launch I've seen since moving to Florida...pretty neat to see so well in the sky even though it's so far away.

Gearing up for a busy week at work...and counting down the days until Brooke comes in two weeks!

The Honda Classic

This weekend was the Honda Classic at PGA National. On Friday I worked with Drew on the Shotlink crew at the 9th fairway. We measured all the Tour Professionals drives and the distance they had to the hole. It was a fun day and exciting to see so many players up close.

Saturday I walked along the beach in the morning, then met Pam at the PGA HQ parking lot so we could walk over to the tournament. We decided to sit in the bleachers on the 16th green to see all the groups play through. We watched from 11:30 until about 5 pm when the last group played the hole. We had a good time watching the Professionals navigate the water and the wind on the 16th hole. On the way home, Pam and I stopped at Smokey Bones for dinner...a favorite spot in Wellington!

Sunday Kathy and I ate breakfast before we walked along the beach. In the afternoon, I ran some errands to the Gardens Mall, then headed home to catch the final round of the Honda Classic...always better to watch on TV -- better seat and the snacks are free!

Back in Florida

It's been a wild and crazy week back at work after being gone for a week. We continue to get PGA Professionals registered for our Play Golf America programs for 2009 as well as rolling out the new Get Golf Ready program. Our goal was to have 700 facilities nationwide offer the new program and to date, we have nearly 1,000 facilities registered. It continues to get a lot of media attention and positive feedback.

Saturday Kathy and I walked along the beach, then I went to PGA National to hang out at the pool. Saturday night Kathy met Pam and I for dinner in Wellington at a great Mexican place...they fought over the hot salsa, which was fine with me! Sunday Kathy and I met for breakfast before walking along the beach before I stopped at PGA National to hit some golf balls. The weather has been cooler than usual but still nice to get out and enjoy the weather on the weekends!
