Another Tiger Woods Ad

No Forex trading last night.  Things just did not look good.  The EUR/USD have moved down considerably during the day and we were trading near the low.  When I got on in the evening things were just rising from that low.  The candles were large and there was no clear range.  I set some weak barriers to see if things would even out.  They didn’t and my barriers were broken.  So, I walked away.  No point in forcing a trade when there are rough waters!  So, I will show you something from my man Tiger.  I know I have blogged about Tiger Woods before- both the video game and the man.  He just does such cool stuff that I can’t help but pass it on for you.  Check out this latest ad.  Here, he manages to get a square peg into a round hole!

Golfing At Nobleton Lakes

With the temperature getting up to 24 degrees and the sun shining, there was no way I was staying at the office for a full work day.  Johal and I cut out early and met our friend Eddie at Nobleton Lakes Golf Club.  They have a great deal going on right now, where you pay $80 for a round, but you get a voucher for a free round later in the year.  You can’t beat that!  Considering we are so early in the season, the course was in fantastic shape!  It was a little dry in some areas of the rough, but that is to be expected.  The fairways and greens played amazingly though.  It was definitely worth the trip out.  Johal managed to stay out of the water for the most part this time around.  I had my driver dialed in too.  If I can keep that up all year…well…I will still suck, but I will look more impressive!

1st Golf Of 2008

April 13, 2008. It was a sunny Sunday, but probably only around 7-8 degrees outside with the sun starting to set. What better time to get out for the first golf outing of the season? My partner in crime was my buddy Johal. Now, neither of us had time to hit the driving range at all this year. So, we were very rusty. We only played 9 holes at an executive (mostly par 3) course in Toronto. We both had some good shots and managed a couple of pars. Other than that it was pretty much bogey golf. Now for the fun part. Johal, probably being dehydrated from drinking, seemed to be attracted to the water. Even on par 3 holes with the water right in front of us he still managed to get the ball wet. At one point he even took about 4 mulligans and kept knocking it into the water about 5 feet in front of him! I promised to keep his water related disaster a secret. So, naturally I took a some pictures with my camera phone and and writing about this on my blog! Sorry Johal, I couldn’t help it.

The Origin of Golf

It is in these cold times that I long for golf. Hot, endless summer days spent on courses that I shouldn’t be able to afford being on. Until I started playing, I thought golf was stupid. Now, I know that it is absolutely insane. You spend money to go whack a ball around a big lawn with expensive sticks. I always wonder what drunk fool invented this sport. The game’s true origins are foggy, but common belief is that the Scottish created the game in the 1100’s. Robin Williams has the most probable story of this games true beginnings:
