]]> Comment on An Introduction to Becoming a Scratch Golfer by Scott H http://www.erikvossman.com/2005/11/13/an-introduction-to-becoming-a-scratch-golfer/#comment-46419 Scott H Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:34:27 +0000 http://erikvossman.netfirms.com/nfblog/?p=12#comment-46419 Golf is a life killer. I've had a love/hate relationship with this game for many years. I started in 7th grade playing only a par 3 course which meant my short game was strong by the time I reached high school. As I learned to hit my woods, my game accelerated me until I became captain in my senior year, taking 3rd in the AAA championships in Seattle, shooting 75 and 81. Then the hiatus. I didn't continue the game until nearly 15 years later. Now I can hit the ball much further because I'm bigger but also the club technology is a lot better, but have failed to achieve my high school results. Example: I went out with my brother in law, and shot a 91 - but get this, it was a 54 and a 37. That's right, a 37! And I was even on the last hole and chunked a shot, taking bogie. Well, you'd think it would be all downhill from there. Not. I've since broken into the 80's rarely and occasionally have a frustrating good 9 holes. 9 not 18. I'm pretty much ready to give it up, because once you've experienced a level of success, mediocrity just crushes your soul. So .. I don't want to discourage too many of you, but this sport requires a ton of time and money. I honestly feel if I had a sponsor who would pay me to play, I could break par, but what a sacrifice - my marriage, my career, owing my sponsor ...etc. If you play, just play for fun and live with the challenge otherwise you'll begrudge the sport.

You have managed to surround yourself with some amazing people and as you and I have both learned, it is important to have a network of people who are not only willing to listen to your ideas (even if they are crazy) but encourage you to put the plan into action. I think that your readers will be very excited to see what you will be bringing (back) to the table over the coming months. As for me, well I just have to find the time to update that budding portfolio you speak of! Thanks for the nod Erik.

I've written a bit so far on starting a blog network, you can check under the <a href="http://www.erikvossman.com/category/starting-a-blog-network/" rel="nofollow">starting a blog network</a> category. However, there is plenty more I am going to write. Stay tuned :) Thanks again for the comment. Aloha Karen-

I've always seen all of them as freelance writers... but it's always good to read different points of view. You gave me some food for thought. Do you plan to write more on how to start a blog network? This is a relevant topic for many bloggers, still I don't see it being discussed so often. Hi Erik,

Words of encouragement are always good. I thought it was about time for me to get back to what was turning out to be a very promising side gig and see what I can do with. Both domaining and developing content based sites. My network is still there and I've been working on a few other aspects of these projects that I hope to help me turn a little better profit and build a more substantial company. Hopefully my posts help now, moving forward as much as they did previously. :) Thanks Jeremy and Jay. Words of encouragement are always good.
