Beth and I are playing together as partners for the first time this weekend.

In past weeks we had always played with someone else.  Or against each other in practice.

I am looking forward to it.  Should be fun…or could be bad.

Just a quick new video of a disc flying right over the top of the camera.

The second half is in slow motion.

I won my first tournament of the year this weekend up at Meeks Park in Blairsville, GA.

I played as an Armature and the Advanced class, one step down from the Open Pro’s, and captured the win by two strokes.

It was a good confidence booster to go back up and play in the open class again.  I just hadn’t played well and needed to know I could do it.

Here is a link to the results page.

We had our second Alta match of the season this past Saturday morning.

Beth won her match in straight sets and I ended up losing my match in 3 sets.  Oh well we at least took 3 lines this week and we are currently mid pack in the standings with many weeks to go.

Going to be changing the website around some and adding a news sections for anything that might come along.

On tap for today is just making sure everyone knows that the US will have its first Formula 1 team next year.  USF1.  I am supper stoked.  Hope they can run well. 

Some USF1 driver news.

Our tennis team out of the Serenade subdivision started off our ALTA season last Saturday.

We only took two lines total and Beth lost her Line 2 match.  But I got some great video and pictures.  Hope to have some up shortly.

The stringer was in the mail today…well UPS anyway.

Put it together as soon as I got off of work and began stringing.  Which might not have been the best idea because I broke a string trying to tie the knot to finish off the Main’s.  Oh well lesson learned and so I started over.  The second try was a success.  Though my fingers are a little sore from all that stringing it has got to be one of the coolest toys ever!!

I am getting some new strings in the mail tomorrow and I cannot wait to start it up again.

I have hit a Deuce on hole 18 before but it was from the fence a good 150 feet away on luck.  Sunday afternoon doubles at Sequoyah park I hit my first legit deuce on 18.  It is not a hole that is you walk up to and park the drive to hit the put.  I was about pin high and hit a 40 foot put.

It was the highlight of the afternoon.  It didn’t even matter that my partner and I won doubles just that I had a the deuce.

Purchased a Racquet Stringer today so I can start to string my own racquets and save a few bucks.

I got the Gamma X-2.  Just a little at home table top stringer.  Found some great reviews on it and a great “how to use” video on youtube.

Can’t wait for it to get here.  It should arive Friday.
