Golf Balls: The Learning #3


Yesterday I learned something while playing golf.  They make eco-friendly golf balls.  The guys I play golf with are not really concerned about the environment which seems odd, annoying, and unrealistic.  After I lost my second or third ball, I was handed a ball to use.  J explained that it was biodegradable and eco-friendly which I felt that he was criticizing a bit.  He followed this by the fact that the guy who gave him the balls said there are literally billions of golf balls out there in the water, on land, etc.  Billions!  Since I lost at least four golf balls last night (and I only played fifteen holes), I think this is possible to quite possible.  Eco-friendly golf balls seems like a great thing to me.  Saturday when I go buy golf balls (It seems I need them after my two rounds this week.), I'm going to look for these balls.

BTW...  It seems I've been "called out" on my first Learning Blog.

My rebuttal is as follows:
1) I mentioned that it was difficult to learn in summer, and I was starting off small... meaning, today's learning blog is going to be weak, but I'm going to do it.
     "This is a blog challenge that documents learning.  I'm going to start off small.  Learning is        
     something that I know probably happens every day, but I also know it's the summer.  
     Sometimes I need a break from learning."
2) In reality it was a learning experience because it took thought to plan my day which included skipping my normal gym class at night, and biking in the morning instead.  Hence, I had to learn or at the least, think (hence learn?) about how to schedule in a HH midweek.

I stand by my fist learning blog entry.  Of course, I will try to improve, but there are no guarantees.  It's summer, and I need a break from thinking in general.

Relax doll. You did great.
I engaged in some friendly jibing because you're so healthy and I'm not! No worries!


Learn away!

Lee sent me here since I am also doing the Learning challenge, with instructions to comment ;)

I'm trying to picture billions of golf balls at the bottoms of ponds across the country. I wonder how long it takes to decompose an eco friendly ball.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
