July 12, 2019 I normally drove home on Friday’s when I was working in Knoxville, but this Friday, I was staying in town for a work function the next day. Since I didn’t have anything going on, I decided to hit up Whittle Springs Golf Course and take advantage of the nice afternoon to play…

I Must Confess, I’m Obsessed!
In case you didn’t know, I’ve played golf off and on since I was 16 years old. I actually played my best golf during that time because I was playing every day. Since then, I’ve played once or twice a year and there was a stretch that I went years without swinging a club. After…

Stan Plays Hockey?
When I started watching hockey religiously in the 2011-12 season, I would have never dreamed that I would be playing hockey one day. Actually, it had never crossed my mind. I didn’t even realize that they had beer leagues for adults. About a year ago, some friends started playing in a beer league. I went…

Took some time today to hit my home course. I started on the back nine by request of the club house. I normally hate starting the back nine just because of the typical disastrous outcome. Today was no different. I lost a sleeve of balls on hole number ten and was eight over par after…
Laws Family Tradition
There are some family traditions that you just look forward to more than others. I never look forward to family reunions.

Smyrna Golf Course 05 AUG 13
I took a little bit of time today after work to do a little Army physical training. I didn’t go out and run two miles nor did I hit the gym and pump some iron. Since today was beautiful, I decided that I would take my chances out on the golf course. As I have…
Thursday’s Three – Things for Which I’m Truly Thankful!

Thursday’s Three – Three Teaching Points from The Little League World Series
When insomnia hits, I believe ideas for this blog are not far behind. This belief hit another home run (pun intended) this morning when I awoke at 4:30 for no apparent reason. I started thinking about things I could put out there for Thursday’s Three and just a few minutes later this topic hit me…
