A Little About Me!!

Well lets start with the basics... My name is Reid, and I am a 23 year old Senior at the College of Charleston. I am in my final semester of earning a degree in Communication Studies. (If anybody is contemplating on what they field they should choose for a college degree, communication is the way yo go!)

I'm not one of those old school types that say, "oh kids these days don't know how to "verbalize" anymore,"but we really don't anymore. Text, phone calls, email, IM, messages, tweets, etc. all have distanced us from the primary needs of obtaining a job, or a promotion for that matter, in the real world.

Sure, keeping yourself up-to-date with all the social media phenomenon's is a must, but being able to speak, present positive body language, read body language, and effectively communicate in general is going to get you much further.

But back to me right? I love love love love the game of golf. I never say this, but I don't know any of you so here it goes, I am kinda good. Not like pro status or anything but I carry close to a scratch handicap. The only thing that super frustrates me is that I know plenty of crappy golfer that have multiple hole-in-one's, and I still have not gotten my first.

Other than school, work(at a golf course), and golf I really have nothing else going on in my life. Other than most of my time is spent with my girlfriend/the love of my life.

As much as it pains me to say this, when it comes to golf that is the one aspect of my life that does not contain one thing that is Nike. I know I know, not the best move for somebody that is infatuated with Nike, but their equipment just does not fit my game... yet. I am open to their new equipment, but $8.00 an hour is not going to cover buying all new golf clubs.

I did just order some of their 2011 golf shoe line, but we will see how they work out. I am one of those weird guys that does not like to play in golf shoes. Sneakers and T-shirts really help scream scratch golfer trust me. I call it the sleeper effect, makes the bets nice and easy!
