Hootie and the Blowfish

One thing I have learned since moving to Charleston is that Darius Rucker, of Hootie and the Blowfish is from here. Every year Hootie does a show at the tennis stadium in my neighborhood. This year they did a show on Friday and Saturday. I tried to get tickets but the venue is not very big and it sold out. :( I got a call on Friday from my friend M.E. that she was just given tickets by a client and did I want to join her?!? Hec yeah!!! Believe it or not,this was my first time seeing Hootie. It was a great show and I am so glad I was able to go. It was just announced that Darius is coming back, by himself and not with Hootie and the Blowfish, in November so my sister and I are going to go see him. Looking forward to that show now too. Darius is great live!

Still Best Friends

August 8th and 9th, I drove down to Hilton Head to visit Jamie, my best friend!! Jamie and I have been best friends since our days at Central High School. ( 20 + years!! ) Jamie and her family were vacationing in Hilton Head, SC for a week and it just so happened that our golf course was closed for aerification Monday and Tuesday that they were there. I took the opportunity to jump in the car and drive down there. It was fun to see Hilton Head since I have never been there. Monday we just hung out and then went to a great dinner. Tuesday we went to Stacks and had a great breakfast and then spent the entire day at the beach. It was so much fun to spend time with Jamie!! I love her so much! Just like in high school, we laugh and laugh and laugh!! One of the big benefits of moving to SC is that I am so much closer to her. The Finch's live outside of DC and living in AZ was not very condusive to frequent visits. Unfortunately until now it had been 2 years! (Thank God for e-mail and cell phones!) Now I am so much closer and a weekend trip is very doable! Excited to see her multiple times a year now!

Working For A Living

I have been very bad at updating my blog since moving to SC. From here on, I will be better! :)
I am working a lot and actually playing a lot of golf myself and working on my own golf game. I have 3 days a week that are my full teaching days and the other 3 I have to work in the golf shop a little. On my teaching days if I am not fully booked with lessons, I try to go practice or play. It helps that members see me out there since I am still a new face to many. I can only hope that seeing me out there playing and practicing myself as well as giving lessons will make them want to come see me themselves. On the other days, I have been enjoying playing with members after my shop shifts. I have had the opportunity to go play a number of other courses in the area as well which is always fun. Of course being back in the golf business also means working 6 days a week again. While that is a little bit of a negative, the postives of moving here far out weigh it!
So bottom line my life has been filled with lots of work and lots of golf!
