The Velocity Diet – Week Three

Wednesday April 15, 2009

This is day three of my fourth week on the Velocity Diet and at this point I am feeling pretty damn good about it. By this time next week I will be deep into Phase II of the program, during which I will get to consume a glorious healthy solid meal every single day. [...]

The Velocity Diet – Week One

Tuesday March 31, 2009

At this point Kelly and I are now officially through the first week of the Velocity Diet, and I have to be honest with you: It’s been tough. It is unbelievably surprising just how much I sincerely miss chewing food. I’ve now had forty-three protein shakes — 39 chocolate and 4 strawberry — [...]

Holy Matrimony, Batman!

Monday October 27, 2008

A few weeks ago I went on a golfing trip to Pismo Beach with Kelly, his dad, and my dad. At some point during the trip we came to the realization that between the four of us, we had a combined ten weddings and eight ex-wives. I’m sure there’s an important statement to [...]

Sampa Grill – Encino

Friday April 11, 2008

For lunch today a few of us walked next door to the new Brazilian restaurant that opened this week. It is literally in the building next to my office, so the bar at The Sampa Grill was the absolute closest place we could go to watch the second round of the Masters. The [...]

Night Golf at Porter Valley

Monday April 7, 2008

On Saturday night Kelly and I played in a “Nite Lite” golf tournament at Porter Valley. One word: Awesomeness. The format was a Texas Scramble, which basically means everyone hits a ball and then decides who had the best shot. Then everyone hits from there as if that was his shot. [...]

Porter Valley Country Club

Tuesday April 1, 2008

I played Porter Valley Country Club with Kelly on Sunday. I shot a 55 on the front nine and a 54 on the back nine for a 109, tied for my best round ever. As usual it took me nine or ten holes to get to the point where I could put all [...]

Robbed at the Tropicana: Part 2

Wednesday March 26, 2008

Right around 11 o’clock on the night of Sunday, March 16th, is when my dad and I realized that our iPods had been stolen from our hotel room at the Tropicana in Las Vegas. My dad had left his charging on the bathroom counter and mine had been in the zippered front pocket of [...]

Robbed at the Tropicana

Monday March 17, 2008

My dad and I met in Vegas for a weekend of golfing after I visited the huge Con/Agg convention with Kelly and Bill. We stayed at The Tropicana, a classic Vegas hotel that has fallen on hard times. The place is just a wreck. Every night and every morning there was trash [...]

A Gator Golfing

Thursday February 1, 2007

Unfortunately it arrived a day late to accompany me on my trip to Vegas, but I am now the proud owner of a University of Florida golf bag. I managed to snag it on eBay for only $50 and can’t wait to hit the links with it. The bag is Gator orange & [...]

Vegas, Baby

Saturday January 27, 2007

Postings will be sparse for the next few days. I’m in Vegas with my dad. We golfed today and will be golfing again tomorrow … and the next day … and the next day … This is my third or fourth trip to Las Vegas since I moved to LA in 2000. [...]

Golfing in Arizona

Tuesday November 21, 2006

I have hundreds of photos of other people golfing, but I’m always the one with the camera. That means I don’t usually get too many shots of myself. My dad took this one and I think it’s pretty good. If you view the full size version by clicking the photo you can [...]

Learning to Golf

Wednesday August 23, 2006

So it took me 33+ years, but I have finally started golfing. I am a complete and total idiot for not listening to the dozens of friends that have been trying to convince me to play for the last ten years. It is amazing fun and paralyzingly addictive. I played for the [...]

Woman Drowns After Golf Cart Sinks
It’s a very sad story. I just don’t understand the line, “An autopsy is scheduled to be performed today to determine the exact cause of death.” She was in a golf cart. She was seventy-one. She was under water. She drowned. What part of [...]
