Last weekend has gotta be the hottest weekend I have ever experienced during my 11 years that I have been here in the Bay Area. I think the highest temperature was 114F yesterday in Livermore!
A lot of my friends decided to go hang out at the malls to avoid the heat. What a silly move. They all came back and told me that the mall was SO PACKED that it was no fun at all.
I, on the other hand, decided to play 18 holes over at the Canyon Lakes Golf Course in San Ramon where the temperature was at 113F. I think my group was the only group that were out playing golf the whole day! It's so nice to play golf when there's no wait after each hole. I also got the chance to validate the scientific theory that golf balls travel farther when the temperature is hot. One of my drives went 285 yards. :)
Oh and one more thing. I look filipino now.

Ahhh.. It feels great to golf again.
After taking a long break (11 months) from golf, I decided to pick up my golf clubs once again.
I kinda expected that I was going to suck shit for awhile, especially since I quit golf with a bad taste last year after losing like 5 golf balls in one around and shooting 100.
To my surprise, I scored 87, 86, 85 and 86 during the last four rounds that I played this year. Hey! My shots are actually going to where I want them to go! Holy shit! I probably could have scored even lower if my putting didn't suck. I'm averaging about three to four 3 putts per round from 5 feet away. This is so friggin sad!!
My long irons are really coming together quite well too. It's not as consistent as I want it to, and I think my score would improve if I replaced my 2 iron with a 5 wood for 200+ yard shots.
With that thought in mind, I went to the course and got fitted for the brand new Henry Griffits RDH DEEP fairway wood. This is the same brand that I have been using for my driver and my irons. It's a little bit pricey (paid $320 for it), but I have got to say this brand beats any of the other name brands out there any day since these are custom fitted. Shh! Don't tell Anita I paid that much for a golf club!
I am picking up the new club next week and I can't wait to get on the course with it. Ahh, I'm back to becoming a golf nut again.
Oh and also. I never knew what my handicap was until I entered all my scores to www.mygolfrecord.com. Based on its calculation, my handicap is 11.8. Whee! Hopefully I can become a single digit handicapper.
See you guys out on the course sometime!

I want to be a Commander too!
How cool would it be to have Queen Elizabeth give you a Commander (CBE) award at Buckingham Palace?
My Uncle just got one yesterday. Congratulations, Uncle Paul!
