This was a fun event to be a part of this year and I’m looking forward to taking my long drive career to a new level in 2010. Just as long as my manager is on board.

Tune in here to full fill your long drive cravings.

Nuggets Kick Snuggie Ass

Posted on December 17, 2009 by hydle

Xcel Energy threw out Snuggies at the Nuggets game last night. I stole one from the little girl 3 seats down… Said it was too big for her.

Now I don’t have to use your energy to heat my house – Thanks Xcel.

I don’t care what you say about style … this is slightly impressive – and ballsy.

Riley Poor – Transitions

Posted on December 7, 2009 by hydle

On December 4th I was lucky enough to attend a special premiere of Riley Poor’s latest creation … Transitions down at Craig Hospital.

I was truly blown away by this film not only because it goes back to the era of skiing I thrived and grew up in … which brings amazing memories. But also because it is such a beautiful documentary about one of the greatest pipe throbs of all time, Simon Dumont.

Now – I just can’t wait for Riley’s next project and to possibly get deeper into the real meaning behind Transitions. After all, out of everyone I know (minus my dad) there isn’t anyone who has taken a larger transition in their lives in this past year other then Riley Poor. I still wear his sticker on the back of my phone and think daily about what a true inspiration he is has become … from day one.

Riley – congratulations on the engagement to your amazing Katrina. Jake and Sara – screw the black hole of 2009? Jeremy Sweeney – What would Joel be doing now? Hoodlum – keep up the good work. Maddy – Your adorable.

Snowiest November Ever

With 11 days left in November – Whistler Blackcomb has already capped over 165″ of snowfall this month… and more is on the way. Not a bad start to an Olympic year.

13 and a half feet. Or if your Canadian – 418 centimeters.

Opening Conestoga Golf Club in Mesquite

Posted on November 17, 2009 by hydle

Today Tom Ericson and I opened a new course in Mesquite, Nevada.

Conestoga Golf Club, a Troon Golf course is nestled deep into the desert beauty of Mesquite, Nevada. Located inside the Del Web retirement community called Sun City Mesquite … one may think this golf course may play easier then most due to the -um demographics… but Conestoga is in no way a retirement caliber course.

The 7200+ yard course rates a 74.9 and slopes in at 147 from the backs … needless to say – it kicked my ass. Here are some photos for your enjoyment.
