The question that most follows the “What do you do?” question is…..”What do you do in the winter?”.  It’s valid.  The reality for many golf pro’s is they take part time jobs doing something outside their field, they find work at an indoor facility satisfying the needs of many who think they will improve their games WITHOUT seeing their ball flight (sounds like he may have an opinion on this topic….POST idea!) or they may have married a beautiful, intelligent, successful, career minded individual and because of that they are able to be a Stay-At-Home Dad, like me.

I typically take a quick 4-5 day trip after the end of the golf season, which, for the last 3 years has been a trip to Ireland/Scotland to play some of the finest golf courses in the world.  This past year included Royal Dornoch, The Old Course at St. Andrews, and Turnberry…truly a 4 days and no nights experience with about 15 hours of sleep, and then, home.  I spend about a week getting my “Dad” legs under professional Caregiver supervision (and help from family) and then I’m on my own.  With twin daughters Kathryn and Kristina turning 4 in April and attending nursery school 3 days a week and my son Mitchell having a great time in Grade 1….it’s not as difficult as in year’s past.   So, with the free time on my hands…a brand new MacBook Pro (shameless plug), and…did I say free time already?

I hope to be able to bring some interesting topics to the table – readers, if you’ve gotten this far you will have a chance to voice your opinions as well (don’t worry, I have a very thick skin and on top of that I’ve discovered in recent years that I’m really oblivious to what others think of me so I probably won’t even realize your being negative).  You’ll have a chance to get an “insiders” view of my life, what’s important to me, what I do, and from time to time…I’ll even talk about golf.

Heading to Orlando tomorrow for the PGA Show…
