Heater Continues and Golf

So I played about 6 hrs today and was running ok, but finished up my last few games w/ a couple 1sts, so I shipped about 1.8k again. The last 500 games I'm running super hot and it's well deserved. Including that MTT score, I am up close to 14k this month, which is my most profit to date and there's still 10 days left!

I went golfing at a 9 hole course with scotty12 and one of my friend's who's never been on a course before. It was kinda slow but my friend was making progress which was good. I hit at least 1 good driver for 220 yds or so. I hit my 7 hybrid so well, like it wasn't even 6 months since I last played. Had a few good and long putts. Pitching wedge was decent. Since it's a short course, I didn't try out too many clubs. I'm really looking forward to getting out at least once a week because I think if I practice a lot, I will be fairly competent towards the end of the year. I'd be ecstatic if I could score between 85-90 by the end of the season. I feel my short game is relatively strong and if I get in the zone, I can crank my driver straight and 220-240 yds. The real problem is when I am about 160-200 yards off the tee or 160 yds+ off the fairway. There's just not a club I can hit well from that distance. I was never good with my irons and last season I was duffing my 5 wood a lot. I'm hoping I can fix some kinks and get my 4 hybrid going well, or maybe pick up a Taylor Made 3 wood which might work since I can crush my TM driver.

Scotty showed me his house in downtown Toronto and it's very expensive, $1300/month for rent but it's very nice and it's in a great location. Their lease ends in May and he wants to move back in after the WSOP. I'm trying to convince Dan to move in there. It's definitely more then I want to spend, but it's very spacious. Some of the other places I've seen advertised online look tiny and I've always had a fairly large room. 

Our 10km run is tommorrow and I'm going to finish but it won't be pretty. I've only done 4km at the most. I am doing 2km in decent time now, but it's about endurance, not speed. Also it's going to rain tomorrow and I know Jeremy who's inspired us to run isn't going to want to postpone it. I would've run more today but I was sore from golf on Sat. 

Wish me luck and maybe I can get a platinum star this year for SS because I am getting somewhat close on a few boards.
