Sadly my lessons with Dustin are coming to an end and this upcoming Saturday will be the last session I have with him, in Vegas. Who’s not to say I venture up north to great state of Idaho for a quick lesson, you know in-between visit with family of course.  Regardless of that scenario Saturday will be my lesson for a while. I’m really not interested in starting...

I learned a valuable lesson this past weekend… “Listen to your instructor!” You would think that would be a no-brainer, but I have an uncanny ability to completely hear and understand what someone is saying and yet I still try to do it my way. I’m very stubborn that way and my wife can vouch for that! Honestly that little fault of mine was...

OK, so this is the big news that was developing. My fellow Breakfast Baller Randy and I have decided to attempt something a little crazy. What started off as a simple “Hey, let’s go play the course in Death Valley in July.” just for the hell of it has turned into a whirlwind of ideas that has now become “The Death Valley Challenge” Randy...

Today I had an idea for something that was going to be a “Just to do it” type outing. The more I thought about it the bigger and better the idea has become and let me tell you my mind is running at about 200% right now! I wish I could put down in words the excitement I’m feeling, but there is a TON of work to do before I get the ball rolling. Stay...

This past weekend I had the absolute pleasure of playing a round at the magnificent DragonRidge Country Club. It’s not everyday you get to hop on a private course and enjoy all the benefits that come along with a membership at a pristine golf course, well at least not for me it is, that’s why I was truly excited to get the chance to play this beauty of a...

Never thought I’d get to say that! Don’t think for one second it has anything to do with what got him all screwed up a few years ago. I happen to love my wife and kids to death and can’t imagine a world without them. No this has to do with Tiger’s recent injury to his Achilles Tendon. I have to admit, when I hear the word...

http://www.unlvrebels.com/sports/m-golf/recaps/031112aab.html I woke up Sunday morning to a absolutely stunning day. The sun was out and it was blasting some pretty awesome rays down on the valley.  I had mentioned to my wife that the Southern Highlands Collegiate Master was taking place this weekend and that we should go check it out and to my surprise she said...

I took to heart what Adam from Three Guys Golf Blog had told me about how improving my short game will improve my scores. Now I don’t want you to think that this was the first time I’ve heard this, the truth is I hear it EVERYWHERE! In every book that I’ve read, every magazine that I’ve thumb through and every TV show I’ve watched, in...

One Stroke! Just one little stroke is how close I was to shooting 89 on Saturday. I can’t complain, the day was incredible. After spending the morning out at Golf Fest I made the trek back across town to my area of the valley and tee’d off at Rio Secco around 12:40pm. I wasn’t too concerned about not having any time to warm up, I had just spent the...

No this isn’t a Fred Funk tribute. I’ve been sick for what seems like forever. A few weeks back I was attacked by the flu and the son-of-a-bitch is hanging on for dear life while I’m trying to get back to a normal routine. All my symptoms are gone but I’ve had this nagging cough that will just not go away and it’s put a huge wrinkle in...

OK, the new site is here and with that comes a huge stress relief for me. At least for the next ten minutes before it all goes to hell again. There are a few more bugs to be worked out and I’m working on them, but I had delayed this long enough. Hopefully you like it and it keeps you coming back! Once I get everything fixed the “Beta” tag will...

Don’t play golf when you’re sick. I repeat, don’t play golf when you’re sick. You would think this would just be common sense right? Well my dumb ass thought that it would be possible to haul my sleep deprived self out on the golf course with a temperature of 102° and play a round of golf on a difficult layout with 20mph winds and temps in...

The other night I headed out to my swing studio and put in some work. More or less the same stuff I’ve been doing, working on my release and the rotation of my left arm. As monotonous as it has been I’m starting to see some results that are really motivating. I’ll get to that here in a minute. Friday night at Callaway i had a decent range session....

I’m only a few weeks away from making the change to an all new website for The Breakfast Ball. I was able to obtain the domain “thebreakfastball.com” back in December after a long and useless ordeal of emails back and forth with some yahoo who thought that thebreakfastball.com was worth $20,000. As much as I wanted the .com version I wasn’t...

That means there are only 5-6 weeks left of the cold weather we get out here in the Vegas Valley and also Daylight Savings Time begins right around the same time frame! Longer days are always a plus when it comes to golf! You don’t have to worry about not finishing your round because of slow play and you can make that tee time a little bit later in the day,...
