4 weeks and counting

Yup, 4 more weeks and Malaysian food here I come..... Don't matter that I'm busting trying to get everything done and not pile up. Aah, I can only wish.

House hunting

Ok, this is becoming a chore...why are they so expensive? why are they so small? why do they partition a good space in 4 itty bitty place? why? why? why? yes, tiring.

House touring

Went to a few house openings today and have you ever wanted some part of one house with some from the another? That's how it felt today. After much thinking, I told hubby that we should never settle and oh by the way, our little house does not seem so little today. DD will had fun especially playing with the owners' pets. She assumed each house we visited had a pet. Cute.

Bye-bye Mizuno

Ok. I did it! My whole set is now Callaway with exception to my putter. Last week, we went to Golf Galaxy to look for new putters for T. I ended up with a Callaway X18 Gems ladies irons. I was a little skeptical at first since I have never been able to hit a 6-iron comfortably. My first practice swings were amazing. An act of impulse, I bought it! So, here's what's in my golf bag - Callaway GEMS Big Bertha 454 titanium driver, Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead 5,7 and 9-wood and the Callaway X18 GEMS 4 to SW irons and my trusty Mizuno TPM-5. Oh, not to forget my Srixon AD-333 ball.

If only Mizuno makes a "serious" ladies set, I would have hung on to them. So, how did I play with my new set? Well, does a 78 at Diamond Springs say anything? I hated that course 5 yrs ago. My game was still new and we played on a hot afternoon in Fall with lots of bugs. The ravines are killers. Yesterday, the weather was perfect. We had a few minor sprinkles but it was refreshing for a humid day. My game was on - course management, flushed irons and good solid drives. I could not believe it until we tallied up the score. I guess the irons were the final straw to regaining my confidence. I finally worked out the kinks on hitting my woods a couple weeks ago. This will be an interesting season. :-)
