As I mentioned here, I am kind of organizing a trip to see Iron Man during CF.Objective(). I also set up a tee time at the Unniversity of Minnesota - Les Bolstad Golf Course for myself, Dan Wilson, Phill Nacelli and Scott Pinkston.  We are playing at 3:00 PM on Thursday May 1st.  If anyone else would like to join us on the links, just drop a comment below and call to make a tee time.

As I mentioned here, I am speaking at Scotch on the Rocks this year.  After the conference, my father, brother and uncle are flying over so we can play golf for a few days. We are going to spend a few days in Edinburgh and a few days in Glasgow.

Here are the places we are playing so far,

• North Berwick
• Carnoustie - Championship Course
• Longniddry

I am looking for some suggestions for courses in or near Glasgow.   If anyone knows of some quality courses in the Glasgow area, please comment below. We are already trying to get a time at Turnberry, but will not find out if our request will be fulfilled until mid-May. 

Thanx in advance!

As I mentioned here, I am speaking at Scotch on the Rocks this year.  I also mentioned that my dad and my brother will be flying over after the conference to play golf.  I was unable to get a tee time at St. Andrew's, but this evening I was able to book a tee time at Carnoustie on the Championship course.  For those who may not know, The Open Championship (The British Open) was played at Carnoustie last year.

I am hoping to add one or two more well-known courses to the list, but to be playing golf with my dad and my brother in the birthplace of golf, I'd play anywhere. 

Once again, if anyone knows of good courses that might not be well known to tourists, please let me know.

I have always wanted a job related to golf, or blowing things up.  This is about as close as I think I would ever get to both.  

I soooo want that job.

As both Andy Allan and Doug Hughes have mentioned, I have been invited to speak at Scotch on the Rocks 2008.  I consider it an honor to speak at any conference or user group, but I am really looking forward to Scotch.  I have heard nothing but good things about it and am excited to be be a part of that.

As most anyone who knows me can tell you, I am a golf fanatic.   It has long been a dream of mine to play golf in Scotland with my father and brother.  We are taking this opportunity to make that dream come true.  My father and brother will be flying over to meet me after Scotch to play golf.  I tried to get a tee time at St, Andrews, the birthplace of golf, but was unable to (if you know anyone who might be able to pull some strings, I'd be forever in your debt).  However, there are plenty of other fantastic course there so I know we won't be disappointed. If you happen to know of any courses that are worth playing, but might not make it onto the typical tourist's radar, please let me know.
