[NADALA]

Back in 1908, Amon Carter owned a newspaper called the Fort Worth Star, and it was struggling, and going under. He made the decision that year to buy out his competitor, the Fort Worth Telegram, and combined made what is known today as the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, a well respected paper.

He announced to the world (I'm paraphrasing) "we were struggling, so we decided to expand!"


Well, I'm taking the same tack with my golf game.

It stinks, it's embarrassing; so I decided to join a tour.


It's little more than a beer league, but it puts me in a competitive environment, and forces me to play other players every 2 weeks. It's based here in the Dallas area, and is known as the Poor Man's Golf Tour. I'll be updating my performance against my fellow competitors in my blog here after each showing.

We throw a few bucks in the pot every week, and the best performer (based on handicap) wins. We've got 4 majors and a match play event this season. It travels to affordable courses, and we play twilight rounds to keep cost down for everyone.

This weekend is the first tournament, but I won't be able to play (I have to go out of town for a prior commitment). I've got between now and March 21 to pull together some resemblance of a golf game.
