Happy Holidays!
Hello everyone!
I hope that you are enjoying the winter season…and not getting too much snow!
I have had a busy fall trying to figure out what it is that I really want to do with my time. I love golf and will always love golf, but as of lately, it has been hard for me to make a living at it. Thus, I have decided to take a little break from playing and pursue a few other fun options.
I created a resume, with the help of many great people, and found out that I wasn’t really sure where I wanted to drop it off. I could be a teaching professional;a manufacturer rep; a golf announcer; a bartender; or really anything that I set my mind to. The problem was no matter where I went the jobs weren’t open “at the time.”
Over the past month, I have been lucky enough to come in contact with some great people and have enjoyed working at a few different jobs. Currently, I am a temporary secretary at Rio Verde CC just outside Phoenix, and I have met some fantastic people there. I am enhancing my skills in the office and having fun seeing that side of the business. I also ventured over to Florida last week to caddy at the PGA Final Q-School for my friend Kris Blanks. It was a long, tough week but he played great and finished T12th and got his full card for next year on the PGA!! And, yes, he asked me to continue on with him…I guess he liked having someone on the bag that wouldn’t back down if he got cranky. It is scary that our demeanour on the course is very similar–kinda like looking in a mirror! I am now looking forward to heading to Hawaii for the Sony Open at the beginning of January! I know…it took a lot of arm twisting to agree to that, right?? So, please look out for us on tv or atleast on the Internet, and cheer Kris on! I met Kris a couple months ago while playing with him and Grant Fuhr, and then found out that I knew is wife! Tami is from B.C. and I grew up thinking she was one of the best golfers around..small world eh??
Well, now that you all know that I am still alive and kicking, I will let you get to the Christmas celebrations! I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends! I will enjoy my time with my family here at my house in Phoenix. I am sure we will play some golf just like usual…and perhaps some WII!
Please be safe! Love to you all,
AJ
