Weeks?

How many weeks until we can feel the grass under our feet? I'm guessing around 5 to 6 weeks if we don't get anymore snow. This time last year there were several golf courses open. I guess global warming is not happening, or what? No that's right they call it global climate change now. Right. One minute it's global warming and the next it's just climate change. Read up about the sun. Yes, the sun. It has cycles too and that's what's causing this so called climate change. The sun is just not as active as it has been and we see around the world that temps are lower than they have been for many years. It's all about the sun. Humans have little to no effect. I find it amazing how many people are sold on this co2, humans are the cause for all the "problems" we have with the climate. Do some fact checking of your own about global climate temp and you'll find out more about the agenda of the "sky is falling" co-horts. I know this has nothing to do with golf per-say but I do know if the sun was more active then I'd be out there hitting some shots on the grass, which grows because of the sun, which gives life to all things. Oh, yeah google c02 emmisions and find out where the most co2 comes from... Is it not strange that they are taxing the very thing that comes out of each and everyone's mouth? Never understood that, the more co2 there is the more things grow which produces more oxygen and so on and so forth. Have you heard they are considering a farting tax for farm stock? Lot's to follow :-)

Thanks for the support!

Just want to thank the individuals who have contacted me in regards to the happenings at Onsoy. I have nothing new to add and will be talking to "my people" and see what the course of action will be. It has also crossed my mind not to "hang dirty laundry" on this site either so this will most likey be the only post in regards to that situation. I am really just saying thanks for the support! Positive posts with some fun info sounds like a good start!

Tiger does it Again.

Tiger Woods just made maybe his best comeback ever at Arnie's place, Bay Hill. He started the day 5 shots back, won by one shot birding the 18th and shot a 3 under 67. Having some knee issues myself I find it inspiring to see him after his reconstuctive surgery playing at a level that can be described only as greatness. We are all lucky to be able to witness his talent.

Ok, if that's the way it's gonna be...

Have seen today that the golf clubs website has taken the link away for my site. This is in a way a very scary sign for all the members at the club. The club is quite possible the only club or sport organization in the whole country that is not even registered for "Grasrotsandelen"... This is just an example of the total unprofessionality of the club. A sorry state of affairs. I for one will be taking my personal items away from the place, getting my daughter out of the club, and taking the steps forward.

Tiger's Inauguration Speach

Tiger Woods received a special invitation to speak at the inauguration. His inviters were stunned, when he did not deliver the message they expected. You will see why the media swept it under the rug with no further ado, who & why of a certain element is pissed off at Tiger. Below is the text of his speech, entitled: "You'll Never Walk Alone," as posted on his Web site: "I grew up in a military family -- and my role models in life were my Mom and Dad, Lt. Colonel Earl Woods. My dad was a Special Forces operator and many nights friends would visit our home. They represented every branch of service, and every rank. In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw first hand the dedication and commitment of those who serve. They come from every walk of life. From every part of our country. Time and again, across generations, they have defended our safety in the dark of night and far from home.Each day -- and particularly on this historic day -- we honor the men and women in uniform who serve our country and protect our freedom. They travel to the dangerous corners of the world, and we must remember that for every person who is in uniform, there are families who wait for them to come home safely. I am honored that the military is such an important part, not just of my personal life, but of my professional life as well. The golf tournament we do each year here in Washington is a testament to those unsung heroes. I am the son of a man who dedicated his life to his country, family and the military, and I am a better person for it. In the summer of 1864, Abraham Lincoln, the man whose memorial we stand, spoke to the 164th Ohio Regiment and said:"I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country."Just as they have stood tall for our country -- we must always stand by and support the men and women in uniform and their families. Thank you, and it is now my pleasure to introduce the U.S. Naval Glee Club. You know he was greatly pressured to be there. Liberals have been mad at him for a decade for not joining their ranks. You know he didn'twant to be there. So instead of paying homage to Obama, he paid tribute to our soldiers. Not one time did Tiger mention Obama, the inauguration or the new administration. He knew beforehand that his love for America , and appreciation for our military men & women would anger them further. But Tiger is his own man; his father taught him to be his own man.

Getting Telephones and Emails

I have been receiving some telephones and emails from individuals who are interested in setting up private lessons, different kind of courses and even one day tournaments. I appreciate the calls and emails very much and I hope that the trend will continue! The snow is still covering all things golf related here in Norway but maybe in a few weeks we are back outside on the green stuff. With all the snow I would assume that courses in the area will be very wet the first weeks of the season. This will give all an opportunity to learn how to "pick it clean" from the fairway. :-) Thanks again to all who have called me and sent emails reagarding lessons and the like, I hope we all can have a good 09' season!
