-
- Finished!
-
-
- Those fucking
drone shots are unreal. Wow.
-
- So it took a bit
longer than I figured because I was in the "mode"
and decided to make a 4 person bench with a bunch of
storage for below the booth. It always annoyed me that
the path to the bar was all congested with chairs so
there wasn't a straight line.
-
- You always need a
straight line to a bar.
-
- As well, the boxes
that house all the balls had come apart a bit and
rusty nails were sticking out. Had actually been like
that for months, so, yeah. Redid that and all the
putters...
-
- ...then I had
to recess outdoor speakers INTO the booth because, of
course. I'll probably try and figure out a way to get
it all working so whomever is broadcasting can also
hook into the speakers for announcements as well as a
nice way to play some music, etc.
-
- But yeah,
I went "up". Bound to happen at some point on the
course - and I've given up on saying "final". Who
knows what comes next now. Well, the addition to the
house most likely, but yeah, thinking in a new
dimension certainly makes me rethink a few things. For
now, I'm thrilled. The view from up there is just
perfect and It really finishes off what used to just
be where I smashed my trailer into. That tiny 5
foot space from the wall to the tree is now the
broadcast booth and GolfKon Bar? I mean look at
this:
-
 -
- See that tree, the
white trailer and the wall RIGHT next to
it?
-
 -
- That all fits
there now. How the shit. My backyard looks like a
movie set. I mean, duh, that's kind of the point,
but wow. It's really hitting me now for some reason.
I guess it's because that was the final "wasted
space" - the dog shit. Oh and about
that...
-
- ...remarkably, the
pups seem to like the "SHIT CAVE" better.
They know to go INTO it and I clean it everyday
anyway, so it's honestly no work for me. Really isn't
a smell as long as I keep up with it and hey,
solving THAT problem forced me to move UP. I can't
tell you what levels do to an area. Mandatory. The
number one selling point of the guesthouse is when you
walk in you see multiple levels. You walk up to the
open kitchen and up again to the bathroom. Why?
I needed the water to drain correctly. Simple
problem solving, but it forces such a unique view and
gives the feeling of more space.
-
- So now all that's
left before Sunday is maybe a little finishing work on
the storage portion of the back bars and a little
touch-up stuff for the course that needs it, but yeah
- this was the big one and I got it done quite
quickly.
-
- Oh and rewatching
the video with Cam in it reminded me that last month,
January 18th, 2016, this happened:
-
-
-
- At 2 years and 3
weeks old, Cameron Kontras completed his first game
all the way through, absolutely no preferential
treatment. Vienna still doesn't have the concentration
to do this and honestly? Cam BARELY did. Also, 16-over
may not sound very impressive but I have to drive
home the point of just how young he is and it's one of
the only time I will use the dreaded "months" to
describe his age. 24 months is extremely young to be
able to complete 39 shots in a row trying to navigate
9 holes. Even understanding the concept that you keep
hitting the ball until it goes in is a bit difficult
to explain but the fact that 6 of the 9 holes were
UNDER the max of 6? Jesus, man, that's unreal. Now,
Hole 6 was an absolute fluke. He hit his second shot
so poorly it banked off the wall and just rolled in
for a birdie. Truly for the forseeable future, 6, 7
& 8 are 6s. Way, way too much skill needed to pull
that off and I will have to truly teach him form and
stance, but he'll get it when he's 3, no doubt. If I
get the chance Sunday, I will walk Cameron
through the course and see if I can't get him
officially in the books with a complete game. He's a
good couple of years from actually getting under par,
but he'll get there.
-
- Anyway, proud dad
moment over. It's 11:30 and Cam will be screaming at 5
for no fucking reason, so I'd better get some
sleep.
-
- Up. Who woulda
thunkit.
