Competitive Golf

Monday AM golf tourney in Aiken SC. Teed off at 8:30 am and didn’t finish until like 1:30 pm. Had a good time with Angela (above), Carey, and Brad. Nice cool fall weather. Had some good shots, some bad. Made three putts of a decent distance early on. Hit the green on a par three. Snapped a picture.

Kept slicing my driver off the tee, but finally straightened it out late in the round. We made a birdie and several pars. With our handicaps we shot 65, which kept us out of last place (also out of next to last place). 

The GPS on the cart showed us over an hour behind schedule. We let two groups play through. Despite riding in carts, I got in over 13000 steps. By the time we arrived back at the clubhouse, lunch was over.

On my drive home I stopped by Zaxbys and later Baskin Robbins. Did a little work when I got home, then headed to small group. Later I watched some of the Manningcast. Winnie had gone to Shivonne’s with C, so the pup was tired from playing with Okie. Skipped the gym and came in to work a little early to start back getting caught up.

Last Friday C and I split a chicken sandwich and fries at Moxie Burger. Kids were cheering the Braves on TV.

Saturday AM golf at Candler Park. Home to watch ESPN College GameDay. Housework throughout the afternoon. Caught bits of KY@OleMiss and Bama@Arkansas. Are to Pizzeria Lucca just west of the Roswell Square. Watched NCState@Clemson on the TV and UGA@Mizzou on Ceil’s phone, and followed GT@Pitt on my phone. Got to watch the last 4 minutes of the Tech upset. They benched the starting kicker, and the backup boots four field goals. Okay, if Tech can beat Pitt, Tech can beat Duke. I trod almost 16000 steps for the day.

Sunday school and worship. C fixed a quesadilla for lunch, then I packed and drove to Augusta. Stopped at Baskin Robbins on the way for a snack. Not much open in downtown Augusta, but we found a soul food spot and ate a nice juicy burger.

Tips on giving a speech. I became a worse actor / speech giver after watching years of the low key David Letterman shows.

1. Commit to the speech. Go all in. Be confident and fearless. Act like you know what you’re doing.

2. Don’t be offensive or inappropriate. Those are sure to bomb. Better safe than sorry.

3. Don’t speak too quickly or softly.

4. Have a good opening. Set the tone. Define what you’re talking about. Avoid cliches.

5. Be prepared. Practice delivering your speech.

6. Play to your audience. Taylor your energy and content to the occasion and audience.

7. When using powerpoint, don’t read the entire slide. Your audience can do that.
