No audition necessary, you got the part.

I was happy to see your ability and willingness to go to the extreme. It's always a pleasure to get a new student with such a desire for change. I'm not so excited to get a student that comes with major flaws that says, "I really don't want to change much." Then, they take a few swings and it looks like a train wreck. Thankfully, you were not that person.

It was an unusual week for me. Saturday night, I flew to Southern CA to work with one of my Tour ladies and an LBG alumnus from our Southern CA School. 60 miles from San Diego, the pilot announced that the airport was closed due to fog, and the plane was being diverted to LA. Unfortunately, Lori was waiting for me in San Diego. As soon as I landed, I called her on the cell phone to give her the 411. A two hour bus ride to San Diego was awaiting me. The other student was going to dinner with his wife in Irvine, as I was landing. When he spoke to Lori, he said that he'd send his stretch limo to get me, in LA.

So, I'm in Southern CA from Saturday night through Tuesday, with great food and limo rides. I give lessons in flawless weather. We play at Pelican Hill (public, $250 green fee) on Sunday. We play at a private course on Monday with a $350,000 initiation fee. It was so private that they STRONGLY suggested that we not take any pictures. So, we only took a few.

I leave all this to come back and teach on Wednesday in Marietta. Three of the four lessons that I give that day are given in the snow. What's wrong with this picture?

Please tell me you jumped outta the limo with a BIG Ric Flair WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And speaking of taking girlieez to SPACE MOUNTAIN?????
