Olympics

It’s finally time for the winter Olympics again.   Although I’m not a huge fan of winter my husband certainly is.  He’s an avid hockey player and a long term snowboard instructor.  I guess spending 20 years in Colorado will do that to you…haha.  I have to admit, I do like watching the winter games and all the amazing athletes but warm inside my condo works best for me!   So far I loved watching 17 year old Red Gerard win the men’s slopestyle gold.  I heard today he almost missed the competition because he slept past his early 7am alarm; sounds like my kids!

Well stay warm and enjoy some great athleticism these next couple weeks.

 

 

Which was bigger?

So who watched the super bowl this year?  Seems like pretty much everyone does but did you notice the attendance records at the Phoenix open during super bowl weekend?  Saturday’s round broke the single day attendance record for a golf event…200,000!!!  And although the viewing audience is way bigger for the super bowl, I’ve heard ratings were down compared to previous years. So is golf on the rise and football on the decline?  I guess we shall see.  For me being a huge golf fan who tries to watch every weekend, it’s no surprise to see golf on the rise.   Call me crazy but for me nothing is more exciting in sports than watching a final round where the leaders are all within a couple strokes with 3-4 holes to play.
