Lady Golfer - Ready to Join My Tiger

It's official.  I'm all set.  Ready to join my husband in learning this game of Golf!

A game that my husband has been told he is supposed to learn to get away from me, not to play with me. ROFLMAO

ANYWAYS.....After church today we stopped at our local Thrift Shop because Furman was trying to find a strap for his golf bag. So, he bought a new bag (without clubs) that came with a strap as well as a golf club pull cart.  Total=$12

While at the cash we noticed a few golf club sets. We've noticed this before but weren't sure if they were for sale because they were behind the counter. Why weren't they out on the floor?  So, I enquired.  Yup. They were for sale. So the cashier started looking for prices. But out of the three that were there, I had my eyes on a set in a red bag. Figures that he couldn't find the price for them so he advised that he couldn't sell them.

Lucky for us, another worker came by and he spoke to her about the missing price tag. Turns out that she found one. $40! I heard her say from a short distance away. No flipping way! I'm thinking.

Oh, but it gets better.... There was an added discount for some reason that dropped the price down to $10 for the entire set.  No lies! Immediately she made a joke with us and told us not to haggle her for a lower price. Lmao. You know I was getting them. I'd be crazy not to. START THE CAR!! START THE CAR!! 

I needed a set to learn on before I decide to invest any serious money in the sport. 

$10 Baby!!!

Next stop, Canadian Tire , where we bought a golf glove for my left hand since I am a right handed player. (Because I didn't know I already had two at home with some other golf gear I had in storage) For the record, it wasn't a special trip for the glove either. Lol Just something we happened to get while shopping for something else.   

But now I'm all set to join my husband so we can learn together.

I'll add the clubs to the rest of the golf gear I just happened to have around the house that has never been used. Lol. Long story. 

Nancy Lopez gear

                                     

Now check back with me because I am hoping I'm not going to be like young kids who have a passion for something for a short while only to move onto something else. Lol 

Nawwwww....Lady Golfer in the making - Ready to join My Tiger! lol

Hope you all had a great weekend.

God Bless for the new week.

Thanks for reading.

My Tiger

So, after two days on the driving range with the first time ever being on Saturday, Furman hit the golf course to play a real game this week. Lol. He sure did!  What a go getter!

It was a Globe and Mail sponsored event at Eagles Nest Golf Course.
                        

Lucky for him he was put in a foursome with three other women. Perfect! Women who were just as green as he is from what I understand. Good thing. And if you know Furman you know that he was thrilled with his team. Three women? lol

Now I can't give you any details on how his day at the golf course went because I wasn't there and wouldn't be able to accurately relay what he shared. But from what he shared, it was a fun day which is awesome. I am happy he had the opportunity to get out there. He learned a bit more about the game he's been so interested in of late. Maybe not a lot, but definitely a bit. Maybe now he can teach me. lol So, on his way home from the golf course he stopped at the driving range once again to practice what he just learned. That's my husband! When he jumps in something he jumps all in. Determined! He then hit the best shots he's hit thus far. I know because I was on the phone with him as I drove home from work. His excitement came right through the phone, which was cute since he wasn't in a position to jump up and down like I would have. Haha  So Excited

In between swings, he was telling me about the gifts he received from the tournament: Nike hat and Golf Shirt, Golf Course branded towel. Oh, and my wonderful husband even thought about me. He brought me a gift too. Well, really, it's for us. lol But hey, he thought about me. Love him!

He told me that it was something we could use that we probably wouldn't have bought ourselves. lol For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what it was. And when I walked in the house I walked right past the box. Sure did! Didn't notice it standing beside the television. lol I mean it's not like it blended in or anything. And, the box was big enough. Then Furman pointed it out to me. At first look my thought was "What the hell is it?" lol You know that Furman set me straight!

A Dyson Tower Fan! 

Had no clue how it worked but it looked pretty cool. And that it was, cool, very cool, when Furman put it together. While he did that, guess what I did? Googled. hahaha I was curious how much this gift was worth.
Boy was I shocked!

Are people on crack? $449.99 for a fan? Oh man!
I know I must sound like a cheap ass but I really can't justify spending that kind of money on a fan. Unless of course I win the lottery or something. But i'm thinking that even then I probably wouldn't do it. I rather use the money to help someone less fortunate.

Ok. So now that you know that i'm a bit frugal. lol



        Let me get back to My Tiger!!!

                                                   

I'll quit here. It's getting late and i'm actually real tired tonight. Did my usual pole fitness class and then went for a short run. I need to start getting myself back in gear! 

So i'm off to bed after I finish watching: 

I'll close here by sharing a most recent photo taken of us at a fundraising event we went to last weekend. Clarendon College Alumni Association

Me and my sweetheart!!!

                           

My Tiger!!

Project Fini

My wonderful husband woke up bright and early Saturday morning to put the finishing touches on his fence project - The Gate.

When I woke up and came downstairs, this is what I saw:

So I took the best seat in the house:

It came to a point where I thought he could use my assistance. So I hopped into action to hold the frame while he put it up.  

 Voila!

Now, for the boards.  

As you'll notice, one end is shaped. That's because Furman spent some time in the garage previously designing his gate top. Yup! And cutting away. Looks awesome I'd say! And, he didn't lose any fingers. Lol

As all the boards were put up we realized we had a slight problem - one board short of complete. So, off to Lowe's Furman went for that one board.  

 

Then he had to shape it up like the others. 

PROJECT FINI!!

Did I mention how proud I am of my husband?  PROUD Wife Damn proud.
He did an absolutely awesome job. 

To celebrate, we hit the driving range for the first time. Our attempt to take up a new sport. Lol.  We'll see how it goes. Lot harder than we thought. Time to YouTube for some lessons. Golf for Dummies Then again, Furman already got me a Golf for Women book to help get me started.  Might have helped if I looked through it before trying anything on the driving range. Lol I see a set of clubs in my future though. 

Hope you had an awesome weekend everyone. 

Now get ready for a blessed week!!
