Kathy and I used to go the the arcade in Stanton. I liked to play air hockey. I hated Asteroids because once the dumb ship started to move, I would always crash into something! John Bailon ( I called him John Ba-Lon) worked there and had a crush on us, so we could pretty much play golf for free. We didn’t like the game but Free is always good. I would lose about 8 balls in the water but he would just give me new ones :D Kathy & John lived South of Chapman which was the nice track of homes. Joe Bailon lived North of Chapman in “Crow Village” where all of the cars parked on the lawns…”and stuff” Joe was just a little older then we were but he had his own house?? I later figured out it was because he sold coke (maybe other stuff,I’m not sure) to all of the kids from the “nice families” LOL!! John was very nerdy but he used to say Joe was his cousin. I’m not sure but maybe just to get some “street cred” (John would shove a whole pack of gem donuts in his mouth all at once, at break time in high school any time I asked him to, It was amazing!)Any time I broke up with McPunk word would get out and I would get a call from guys asking me out. One time Joe asked me out. We went to dinner and a movie the one time.If I went to parties without Mc Punk(he worked at Slave-On too) these guys from school( I didn’t know there names but I recognized them) would come up to me,hand me a beer, and ask,”So, I you still dating McPunk?” I would smile and say,”Yes, He is just working tonight” They would say something like, “Oh, ok, yea, he’s a lucky guy” I would say thanks, and hand the beer to Berta or Kathy(when left, I don’t like Beer :P) I guess there were all these guys that had crushes on me but I just liked them as pals.
So I guess not that many got holes in one with me ROFLMAO!!!
I swear,I don’t plan these dumb stories out, they just sorta drift out of my memory. This was Goal number 300!
names were changed to protect the not so innocent

I am posting this because golfers should know. The Truth About Golf Hole in One Insurance.
Golf Hole In One Insurance – How it works . Typically an event or outing or tournament picks one par three. They then tell the hole in one insurance company, how many players, the hole yardage and the prize value. If someone makes a hole in one they receive the prize. Whats the truth? The Hole In One Insurance company makes money based on the fact of the probability of hole in ones and the money they receive versus how much has to be paid out. Don’t hold this against them. They are providing an important service. You would not want to pay out if a hole in one is made. Like any other insurance they are backing your fortune or misfortune. Just make sure they are reputable.
When purchasing hole in one insurance the MOST important thing: “Is the company you are purchasing from going through a real insurance company or are they self insuring?”. Ask them that question and these. Will you receive a certificate of insurance? What is the name of their insurance company? You do not want to be stuck with the prize amount if they are not legally backed. There are too many of horror stories in this industry.Hole in ones. Of course you can insure them. Then when someone in your group makes a hole in one they win the prize. Let’s just go on the assumption that a hole in one can happen once in every 8,000+ times. I used to work for a company that provided insurance for golf hole in ones. They did not go through a real insurance company so when difficulties were encountered, I decided to leave and become fully backed by an insurance company. Let me tell you how the previous one worked. They sold insurance for a $5,000 hole in one at one dollar per shot. Given the probabilities above if they sold 8,000 of them they would pocket $3,000. What if two people got hole in ones but the company only collected $4,000 to date?? You can see the problem. For more information go to http://www.golf-holeinone.com

But I think I need to golf more since I’m a little rusty. I think I’ll go this weekend.

Since winter is here, it looks like this goal will be on hold for a while. I did get to go golfing two days ago though. No hole in one though.

I saw my friend get a hole in one yesterday in Manassas, VA. I’m so jealous, and want to get one for myself.
