Dear Blog,

        More exciting news! I contacted my second mentor, and he is awesome! He seems very nice and can actually go to the course with me (for a price...). Also, as I keep researching, I have found so much information on this one website, golf.about.com. It is actually kind of overwhelming; I cannot believe how much technique is needed to be a golfer. I probably have watched at least three videos so far just about how to grip a golf club. I even found an article about whether a player should own a glove or not. This article gave examples of professional golfers who used two gloves,Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey, and of professional golfers who did not use gloves, Fred Couples. From this article, I learned that most golfers do not use a glove when they put. It is a simple observation that I would never have noticed when I watch golf tournaments. This website is so detailed that it is crazy! As of this week, I have read articles about the golf grip, and seen links about the swing. It may not seem like a lot of work, but I have read a good many articles. I think after realizing the abundance of information about each topic I will have to take it one topic at a time. Instead of researching swing and grip in one week, I would research just grip and then swing next week. I am thinking my goal might have to change. Instead of being able to play a full round of golf, I might just have the goal of consistently hitting each type of club on a driving range. Golf seems like such a difficult sport. Eventually, my hole-in-one will come. Sadly, it just might not be by the end of this semester.
