The Bull gored me!

6.19.2008 — 2 Comments


Wow, what a round of golf! I will definitely never forget those 18-holes.

As soon as we arrived on the course I knew today would be different than any previous round of golf I’d ever played! As we pulled up to the clubhouse I thought we were being robbed as a guy opened the hatchback of the van and took our clubs for us! What a treat!

We walked inside and turned in our coupons and were shown to our cart where our bags were already placed! I was further-impressed with the on-board GPS & digital scorecard built into the ceiling of our cart! How cool?!

My first 9-holes went quite well and I finished only 20-ish over par on the front nine. I don’t even want to talk about the back nine! In all, I think I’ve calculated losing AT LEAST twenty golf balls! Yes, 20! Embarrassing.

The Bull proved to be the absolute toughest round of golf that I’ve ever played and the most memorable! Thanks Gerry for taking me along!

“The Bull” tomorrow

6.18.2008 — 2 Comments

Tomorrow morning Pastor Gerry and I will be getting up bright and early and heading North to Sheboygan Falls, WI to play 18-holes on the Jack Nicklaus signature-course, “The Bull”.

Gerry won two tickets to play this course at the Pastor’s Appreciation luncheon we attended last year and as he came back to our table he told me that I’d be playing the course with him!

This will more-than-likely be the ONLY time I ever play a course that charges $145 for a round of golf. I’m a bit intimidated! I can’t wait!

Stay tuned for live-tweets from the course via Twitter and of course I’ll bring the camera along to document this historic-occasion!

Here’s the layout of the course:

Tonight I dated my family!

6.17.2008 — 1 Comment

Last night I was in a board meeting for more-than 3-hours. It was good and all, but it was my day-off and cut-short my time with Jess and Ella – my two favorite people in the world!

God gave me an idea this morning that I capitalized on in the form of a “surprise” date with Dad as I whisked the girls off in the van at around 3:30 this afternoon without telling them where/what we were doing.

What followed was 18-holes of miniature golf which, surprisingly, Ella made it through 16-or-so before completely losing interest! After golfing we headed out for some “fresh fries” that Ella loves so much at our McDonalds and then home for a bit before heading back out for our weekly home group!

What a memorable time we had as a family! We were both so proud of Ella for hanging in there and doing her best to play mini golf with Mommy and Daddy! She would actually hit the ball with her putter and then run and pick it up wherever it was and throw it into the pin-cup each hole! It was adorable.

It wouldn’t be fair to NOT mention that I only beat my wife tonight by 1-stroke! She gave me a run for my money, but it was an hole-in-one Eagle that put me ahead for the win on hole #16! Go me!

All the pictures from tonight are here, but below are some highlights:

I’m a ChaCha guide and you can be one too!

6.16.2008 — 2 Comments

A few weeks ago I talked about ChaCha(dot-com) here on stevansheets.com and told you how much I was enjoying this new, free service.
Soon after that post I applied to become a ChaCha guide and was accepted based on my typing skills and search-ability! In a month’s time I have now answered more than 1,000 inquiries! This has mostly been done on my day-off mornings and late-night when I would normally be just watching television!

ChaCha guides like myself are paid $.20 per response that we give and the money can be directly transfered to a ChaCha debit card to use for everyday purchases! I’ve already made $200 answering ChaCha questions and want you to have the same opportunity!

If you DO sign up to be a guide, be sure and use my e-mail address (stevan@stevansheets.com) as your referral and I’ll get a bonus from ChaCha!
