The Golf Weekend

We have some great friends that invited us to join them golfing over the weekend. I jumped all over that for the sheer excitement of driving the cart. You see, my husband and I haven't golfed together in over ten years due to the painful experience that is still vividly in our memories of the last time we attempted to golf together thinking it would be a "fun" date. Boy were we wrong. Without going into too much detail lets just say we nearly divorced over the golf outing. So naturally I vowed to never golf again with my husband in order to keep the marriage in good standing. But I never said I couldn't drive a golf cart. Hence, here we are ten years the wiser and I'm sure things can't go that bad twice.We  accept the kind offer and joined our friends at Hobble Creek Golf Course. It was breathtaking with the fall colors and a slight autumn chill in the air. This helped me overlook the $8 charge for me to simply ride in the cart with no plans to swing a club. I like to consider myself the social golfer. So much so that I found my stereotype in this hilarious golf video which portrays all the different types of golfers out there. I would be considered the "Tee Box Talker."  I don't do it intentionally but I fail to recognize that the silence which occurs on the tee box isn't considered a lull in the conversation that needs to be filled with chatter.  Rather it is golf etiquette to remain hushed so that the golfer tee-ing off can concentrate on their swing. Now that I recognize my golfing faults I can better apply the proper behavior that is expected. Unless, of course I use it to my advantage to gain the upper hand with the scores by intentionally distracting the other golfers in the moments it matters the most. Hmm...I see this as an opportunity not a fault.  Regardless of your golf stereotype Here is a link of great golf products that will get you more excited to play the sport of golf.  We did have a wonderful time with our friends and I'm happy to report that the marriage is still on!

Volleyball Tournament

I stumbled upon a purchased volleyball in my husbands vehicle a few days ago. I was surprised to see it there still in its box, inside the retail shopping bag. When I inquired about it, he told me that he has entered into a volleyball tournament with a buddy of his. Even with the shocked look on my face he still managed to ask me for a favor... "will you pepper with me for practice?" It has been years since he has played volleyball but he claims that it will be just like "riding a bike."  Let's hope so for his sake. I can't resist any invitation to play volleyball in any form, so I agree to help him dust off the cobwebs of the former volleyball athlete.  Well, lets just say that there is another layer of dust that has accrued because we have yet to find time to practice and the tournament is this weekend. I'm hoping for the best, but can't help wondering if it may turn out like This.........
No matter what happens at least the team will look good in their volleyball attire. There is a great selection of volleyball jerseys HERE. You will find style, affordability, and quality like none other.
Good luck to my husband on the upcoming tournament. May your teammate be as good as Keri Walsh!

DOMINATOR basketball hoop

Last week I was able to tour the DOMINATOR basketball hoop facility.  I was blown away, by the product and the people.  First a few things about the Dominator basketball hoop.  It is awesome, the best hoop ever invented.  The Doman brothers stepped outside of the box on this one.

Most basketball hoops out there, adjust their rims on a single pivot point.  Thus all of the weight, gets put on that pivot point bolt, and overtime it wears down.
The DOMINATOR adjusts telescopically up and down.  The whole vertical pole moves.  Because of this the weight is shared, and adjusting the rim is done quickly and easily in just 7 turns.  The baskeball hoop is made from aluminum instead of steel.  Aluminum is lighter weight, strong, and doesn't rust.  And the look is very sleek.
This hoop is made in American, using the American working people (Tommy Boy).  It was awesome to see that the Doman brothers are keeping this product production - here in America.  The truly care about making the best hoop, at an affordable price.  The parts are the best of the best, no expenses are spared.
Brandon Doman is leading the charge on getting this hoop into every American home.  He has put aside a great football coaching career, to be home more with his family, and to put his energy into the DOMINATOR.
I wish everyone could see, touch, and play on this hoop.  http://www.fourthquartersports.com/products.php?product=Dominator-Basketball-Hoop-%252d-In-Ground-Outdoor-Basketball-Hoop-. The price is affordable, especially considering all that goes into this basketball hoop.
This basketball outdoor/indoor hoop ships in just four parts.  It is so easy to install, a monkey could do it.  And that is one of the great emphasis behind the Dominator hoop, is to make the install a snap.
