Grasrotandelen....

The local paper has written a article about this concept, Grasrotandelen.. in short it's a way for people to give money to their sports club of choice when they play the lotto. The article stated that many clubs are struggling to make ends meet because the state has taken away their slot machine money. This Grasrot. thing is supposed to replace that money, but the problem is that the moeny being donated is in many cases not even half of what the clubs recieved b4. The point of me commenting on this is, the local golf club has still not registered themselves to recieve this support. So that would say that they get no support in this regards or in other words, they have lost the slot money and have not done anything to try and resolve that by getting the club at least in the posistion so that people who wanted to give when playing the lotto can... uff a meg for a gaggle of numbskulls. I have little or no understanding in this way of thinking, getting money for the club, without having to do more than registering the club online and put a news letter on the clubs homepage.. I know it's a tough job, and no one wants to do it........ herregud.

Practice, practice, practice . .

Leon is still at it, he's playing all kinds of sports in the house. Golf, basketball, tennis, american football, baseball, ice hockey and whatever else might be on the tube. I have the espn american channel and we get all the american sports and Leon seems to like golf and baseball best.. hahahaha. Have to smile and just take it all in. College hoops starts next month and I am excited to see what happens then. Worked night shift last night, have another graveyard shift tonight and then I have 'free' until next tuesday. Nothing really more happening da.. have seen that Grønmo golf club is looking for a new 'sports boss and head pro'.. have called and left message to hear what the deal is there. I know most of the better players there and if for some weird chance I did end up there maybe it would be good. I am assuming that the club there has someone in their sights, something that is usuall for the golfing business. I have left a message with the leader and will be surprised if I get a telephone back. Getting a golf job closer to Oslo would be good as far as the possiblity to work with even more juniors, but being that I have the baskeball club sports boss job in my sights, I'd have to be reassured that making a move like that would be worth it. Of course working in golf is the thing I would like to do foremost, but as I've stated many times b4, I am skeptical to things now. 15 years in the norwegian golf business has taken it's toll and I would take a job if it was the right one, with the possiblity to make a difference with the junior golfers that choose golf as their main sport would of course be great.
