Goodbye 2009
December 31st, 2009
Well it has been an interesting year for me in the world of golf and in my personal life.
- My golf game got worse technically, from a 1 to a 3.8, probably due to lack of concentration on my part. That’s because of non golf related issues getting in the way. I hope to bring that handi back down in ’10 and have a better year on and off the course.
- Anna Rawson never returned my phone calls…
- Tiger didn’t win a major, but won 6 times.
- Tiger’s mistresses surface and a media frenzy happens.
- TGS’s new dedicated server worked great. I went through a couple of format/template changes (hopefully improving the site).
- The TGS Shop got up and running and made a few sales over the year.
- My University of Utah Utes football team won the Sugar Bowl and ended up #2 in the country.
- My best friend Alan played golf at St. Andrews with Boynie as his caddie. They called me from a pub! Alan called me from the 1st tee and told me “I’m touching the 1st tee with my hand.” I said “Take a picture.” He said, ” Every great the game has seen in its history has stood at this spot.”
- I played the TPC Sawgrass Stadium course.
- This year I met Anna Rawson, Rocco Mediate, Fuzzy Zoeller, Hale Irwin, David Leadbetter, Duffy Waldorf, Smokey Robinson.
- TGS membership grew from 3800 to 4900 over the year (no advertising).
- TGS visitors went from 4.3 million to over 7 million.
- I had a bout of the shanks, changed irons 3 times.
- I shot a 65 in my men’s league on “ladies’ day” where we played from the ladies’ tees.
- Withdrew from the city amateur on my home course because of back problems.
- A guy hit me in the ass from 3 feet with his driver on the driving range.
- My youtube video views topped 1 million, then 2 million.
- I vowed to play a golf hole naked if Sergio Garcia won the Masters. Pretty safe bet.
- I won the money title in my men’s club.
Alan had a ball Tony…and so did I. We played the Old Course TWICE on the 4th July…gotta be your turn next!
Have a super 2010, cheers,
Boynie.
