golfing update

May 28th, 2011 No comments

Just wow! Through a contact on twitter, Mike Hauser (who works at Tourism Victoria): @doogsta I was put onto an application for the iPhone called Golfshot Golf GPS. I’ll write a separate little review on it, because it has quickly become one of my favorite thing about the iPhone.

Anyways…. In a nutshell, this application lets you track the scoring of your golf round and comes up with some handy stats and information at the end of the round too. I started using it for a round in January, but it wasn’t until the last couple of rounds I’ve come to understand how useful this app can be.

I’ve decided another of my regular posts here will be using the results of the Golfshot app for each round I play. I’ll mess around with the format a bit until I get it just like I want. I’ll post the first “Round Review” soon.

As an update on the new Ping i15 which I recently bought, I am loving it! My next “Highlight hole” post will feature the i15 & I’m getting warmed up to it now.

IDEA! No more single socks…

August 8th, 2010 No comments

OK, so I recently cleaned out the sock draw. Unfortunately, the sad outcome of that meeting was the untimely demise of several black socks (may they rest in peace….) There was a few odd socks in the draw. I think some of them were a matched pair I was unable to match, some of their mates probably got lost in the mysterious depths of the washing machine or other such exotic places as the back ironing room where socks get sorted…

This got me to thinking. How do I save my socks from an untimely passing….

I’ve rolled out a couple of ideas and wanted to share them with someone. Not many would be interested & thats why I’m posting them here. Because no-one comes here.

I’ve bought bright coloured socks and rarely wear black socks now. It’s much easier to match up a nice bright red pair of socks, a striped blue pair and a brown pair with a green strip that it is to match three straight ordinary old black pairs.

Masterstroke!

Part B in the saving of socks is that I now have a “lingerie laundry bag”. Not for putting lingerie in! The socks go in, the whole bag goes in the washing machine, they whole group / set / collection / gaggle (whatever a group of socks is called) get washed together, they go into the drier together inside the lingerie bag and then get removed as a group / gaggle, immediately matched up with their mate and go back in the sock draw… ahhh – no more lost socks!

How’s that for an idea?

Problem solved…

:D
