slicer

just got back from hitting golf balls. jessica, from work, gave me a lesson. she's really good...she's knows her shit. my swing is actually good (she says it looks very natural and fluid, and that i have good tempo). the problem is that i'm slicing most of my shots. she had me do a few exercises but nothing seemed to correct it. she said once i get better i'm going to be hitting it far, based on my flexibilty and body build. i have good hip rotation, and she says that's a key. anyway, we'll see.

my goal is to hit balls as many days as possible before i go back to scotland on june 14th. she loaned me a few clubs to practice with, as she just got a new set. they may be a tad short, since i'm obviously taller than her. but it's a starting point. my goal, getting back to that, is that i'd like to play the course we're shooting at (it's a famous british open course). i just need to not totally suck, and then i'll go for it.

speaking of scotland, it's beautiful there. i had a blast this week. the course rocks...it's right on the north sea coast. it was chilly and rainy everyday, but who cares?

i have decided i am going to stay for 6 days after the shoot, but i'm not going to continental europe; i'm going to stay in edinburgh and explore that city. i also might take a train to loch ness. i'm going to use this work experience to explore scotland as much as possible...who knows when i'll be back? i'll come back home on the 4th of july....unless the much-rumored 'live aid 2' happens that day in london. then maybe i'll stay two more days and train it to london and go to that...
