The Weekend !

Don Grose
I don't usually get this excited about the weekend..
well not til Friday anyway...and here it is Friday -
and what a day it was...Since I introduced hemp
hearts to my diet two or three days ago , I've
noticed my energy level much improved...
and I'm sleeping better because I'm more active
during the day...well, anyway so I finally hauled
my carcass out of bed this morning about 7:15 and
by 8:00 , coffee in hand , I'm at my computer...
Charlene called about 12:15...it was the first
I'd stopped since I sat down. There is absolutely
no question I get a lot more done working from
home...it's great...and when I want to take a
break - I pick up my guitar and just fiddle
around for ten or fifteen minutes until my focus
is renewed..then it's right back at it..It's
great. Right now my priority project is lining
up sponsorship for my golf radio program, The
Golf Shop...we've come close the last couple of
years..I'd love to sell it out this year. I hope
to have some music up for sampling on my website
in the next week or so..I've been toying with some
new songs and experimenting with a couple of older
songs and I'll be sending Phil, my webcaddie, a few
of the recordings to post. What we'll likely do
is have a half dozen that we'll rotate every
few days..and after a few weeks we'll replace them
with some more.
If I can get brother Doug to send me some I may
include a few tunes of his at some point.
Busy weekend ahead...bottling wine and fixing the
BBQ and I have some recording to do...I also
want to get the season organized for the
features to include in the Golf Shop this
season...Right now - I'm planning a
Maritime Tour Guide with the guys who
publish the " Golf Guide To Atlantic
Canada." I know a Kineisiology Professor
who wrote a book after several years of
studying the golf swing and has some
interesting observations to make.
Yoga for Golf is something I've wanted
to get to for a couple of years now.
I'm going to do a series for the early
part of the year, where I'll interview
different people on, " What I remember
most about last season." Last season was
a big year here in the Maritimes with the
Canadian Ladies Open at Glen Arbour in
Halifax and there are several other
people I know who had excellent golf
years that will be hard to duplicate
for reasons not related to the Ladies
Open.There remain a handfull of Maritime
golf courses I still haven't played...
among those - Antigonish, the courses in
Sydney and Clare. I'd like to play
Riverview in Moncton, Sussex, Saint
John and Fredricton as well. A long
season ahead for all that.
Ad tip of the day ---- you are way
better off to convince ten percent of
the population that you are their choice
than you are to make a far too subtle,
similar suggestion to half the
population. Decide who you want to
talk to - and what they need to hear -
and tell them over and over and over
again...there can be no substitute
for endless repetition in advertising.
Become the first choice of your best
potential customers and then super-serve
them, and don't let anyone take them
away.
It works...

Colin Montgomery once said, " Stories
of bad scores seldom start with, I ripped
one down the middle."

Amen.
Happy Trials
