summer is on its way and golf is in my life

I am still in between jobs. My new job does not start for another two weeks. I am excited to get back to work but I hate to have to be indoors. I am an outside girl. Plus summer is golf season. I love to play golf. Thus the reason why I want to be a PGA Tour wife. This spring has been iffy for golf but the last two days have been perfect.

On Monday, I was privileged to be invited to play Rolling Rock Club. This is one of most prestigious clubs in Pennsylvania and on the east coast. The Mellon family of Pittsburgh owns the club and you either have to be rich or invited to belong. The Club has everything: golf, tennis, horseback riding, hunting, shooting, swimming, hiking, etc. I was there to play golf. The front nine is designed by Donald Ross. Ross is one of my favorite course designers. My heart belongs to older/maturer golf courses. The back nine is only about ten years old designed by David Silva. Not my favorite design but he did well with the land he had available. I played so bad. The course has beautiful greens with tough rolls. The rough was ready to host the US Open. I loved getting to play the course.

I am a country club girl. I grew up playing country clubs and my parents belonged to a country club. I hope in the next couple of years to join a club myself. Country clubs in the Pittsburgh area are suffering from low membership and do offer good membership drives usually in the fall. This fall I am going to look into a club. Plus a lot of clubs offer junior memberships to individuals under 35. Plus I can get more status by joining as a female. Sometimes it pays off to be a female in golf. I jokingly say I am going to hang out at the gates of Oakmont and beg some poor guy to marry me so I can play Oakmont everyday. HAHAHAHA. I would just settle for one round of golf.

A little delay

It has been a little over a month since my last post. A lot has happened since my last post. I have left my old job but glad to announce I have a new job. I will be the Health and Wellness Director of the Penn Hills YMCA just outside of Pittsburgh. I am very excited. I do not start until June so I am enjoying an extended vacation. I have been able to travel a little. I have been to Boston, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pittsburgh. A lot of fun. I have also been playing lots of golf. I am a golf girl, and it is hard to keep me off the links.

I am continuing the cooking trend. Tonight I was a grill master. It was very simple but delicious. I love mushrooms so I grill portabello mushrooms and added some Swiss cheese on top. I then lightly grill the buns for a wonderful portabello sandwich. In addition, I grill asparagus. I just placed the asparagus right no the grill. The whole meal took about 15 minutes. Quick and easy. Something for everyone there.
