Dog Days...and a little golf

I've lived in Fayetteville my entire life, and been through some hot weather before, but this week has just felt like one massive heat wave.

Now I know I've spent every day outside working and what not, but still, the humidity is almost unbearable at times. It almost makes me wish that summer were over.

However, I scoff at that. I love the summer and while this summer has been more different than any other in years past, I've still had a great time.

My birthday was this past Sunday, and I turned 19. It's hard to believe I'm already 19, but I'm not complaining. Almost to 21, which is kind of scary.

In other news, I've been playing a lot of golf lately. Golf was something that I've liked since I was a toddler, and I was really into it from about 4th or 5th grade until about 9th, but just wasn't interested in it during high school.

I hope to spend most of my weekend on the course, and I might have one of my friends from church, Krista, accompany me on Sunday, because she has never played before and I want to introduce her to the game.

On a side note, how about Padraig Harrington repeating as British Open champion? I know you will say it's not legit because Tiger wasn't in the tournament, but Tiger didn't win it the last time it was at Birkdale and who's to say he would have won had he played.

Tiger is the best player in the world, yes, but he is human, and links courses in Open Championship play have given him trouble before. I'm not liking how some people are knocking Harrington for achieving a very difficult feat on two very difficult courses in '07 and '08.
