The five days I spent as a bachelor are over, as the twins are back from Florida and Tracey and I are off to San Diego for a few days of true rest and relaxation. But what a five days it was – it was almost like I was immersed in a lifestyle that I could get used to very easily. If I wasn’t doing my prep for Goodboys Invitational weekend – for example, it was Septenmber or October – the life I lived would be quite different, but the months of May, June, and July ar typically focused on getting my golf game in shape, so my bachelor pad was all about golf and relaxation. Every day started and ended pretty much the same:

Mornings:
* Get up around 7 AM, feed the rabbits, get the coffee on.
* Turn on Golf Channel to get myself focused for the work of the day.
* Head out back for a relaxing early-morning swim.
* Do some work, e-mails, client calls, etc.
* Drink lots of water

Afternoons:
* Have a light lunch.
* Get lubed up with suntan lotion.
* Head out to Superstition Springs or Kokopelli, bang 1/2 bucket of balls.
* Head over the chipping area and work on short game for minimum 1 hour.
* Head over to putting green and putt for 1/2 hour.
* Finish hitting bucket of balls.

Note: when playing golf on Friday and Sunday, replace above with a round of golf.

* Return home, take a nice leisurely swim.

Evenings:
* Make dinner, enjoy glass or Pinot Grigio or a Sam Summer out on the patio.
* Work and e-mails until around 9 PM.
* Take care of the rabbits and bird, shut down the house.
* Turn on pineapple lights and put on some patio music (tropical or surf).
* Pour another glass of wine or crack open a Sam Summer, light up an Arturo Fuente.
* Watch the moon come up over the queen palms, contemplate what part of my game I want to focus on tomorrow.

I’ll admit, it’s not a lifestyle I’d want to do every day, 365 days a year, but for five days it was sure fun!

Today we’re off to San Diego for the rest of the week. Check in for updates, as the Best Western Island Palms and Marina business office allows.

Enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day weekend, everyone – I know we will!
