Pedro's English Golf and hockey Blog

I am going to blog about my high school golf season. This year I am currently playing on the Centennial Varsity High school golf team.

4/26

Today was are first golf match of the season and let me tell ya it was a great one. We played at a very nice course Golden Valley country club. We teed off for a shotgun start at about 11:00 am. It was a little chilly today but not to bad at a temperature of 48 degrees. Today I couldn't of started off with a better start then I did I shot a 74. But not a normal 74 all over the place with a eagle, lots of birdies, and a couple of double bogeys but hey don't get me wrong I was pumped with the round I shot escpecially on the very quick greens.

This evening I had my first skills skate in awhile which was pretty fun. I skated at the Lumberyard in Stillwater which is a really cool mini 3 on 3 rink. Today though for the skills skate we just kinda went back to the basics and just getting the hands good again cause like I said it has been awhile since I had one. So basically we worked all different variations of stick handling in tight and awkward situations and then having to get a shot off right after or make a move on the goalie. It was actually a pretty light skate and fun to be back out there again.

Let's just say Rush creek golf course got me today. It was not a lovely day on the golf course today with crazy 30 mph winds blowing in our faces. I just couldn't found my game today swing just never felt great felt like I just couldn't find a fairway or green but once I got to the green I was actually able to putt so there was one positive. But I ended shooting a very rough score of 86.

Hockey today was great but also exhausting. Today I skated with my skating coach at fogerty ice arena and let me tell ya those are the hardest skates you’ll do. You start with a warmup and usually when you do a warmup you’d think it would be easy no it is the opposite of that it is very difficult. We worked on being explosive out of turns and getting our head around to see and scan the ice in front of you. But it’s been awhile since I’ve had a skating practice but it was fun but difficult see ya next time on the blog!!

Royal golf club one word to describe is beautiful. But past that gosh did I love that course. But to the golf I started out really well thru 11 was -2 which was really good but my round took a turn very quickly. I mean there was a reason why it took a turn and it was because I got drafted in the USHL by the Chicago Steel and I was just so happy I couldn't focus back and it ended up shooting a 82 but to be honest besides my score it was a great day of golf and getting drafted. Also forgot to add this is a two day tournament which i'll add to the blog tomorrow after the 2nd day of the tournament.

We were back to lumberyard this morning. We were with skills coach Scott Bond and we were working on keeping our head up while still having our feet moving and having quick hands. Today there were a couple of us at the session so it was fun to see everyone that got back from juniors to come home and skate. It’s always great skating with others because they make you better and it is fun to compete with others. After the skate they have a really nice shooting area so me and a couple of the guys went back there to really dial in our shots and releases.

5/4

Today was the day of our 2nd round of the border battle tourney at Troy burn a wonderful course. But even though I came into today with a positive attitude just felt like I could never get my game on track swing never felt great and my putts were always tracking just seemed like one of those days where putts don't want to drop. But hey its golf can't be great every tournament or let alone money but great course to play on today just my game couldn't match.

Hockey this evening was at Centennial high school with one of my friends dads running the skate named Jesse Ramirez. His skates are always a great high intensity with a lot of skill type of skate . Just working on really getting your feet moving and having your hands be able to keep up. We finished the skate with a little 4 on 4 scrimmage to end off the day like we usually do with those skates which was really fun my team ended up winning so I didn't have to do the terrible forfeit that you have to do for losing.

5/7

Played TPC this morning with my buddy Hayden and his dad Jason. We always do some type of betting on the course today we did 5 dollars a 9 winner takes all. I mean today I thought I played good just my game got good a little too late I shot a 78 was even thru the last 15 holes so my first 3 holes really screwed me over for trying to win money but I can’t really complain cause Hayden shot 70 and Jason shot 73 so they both played really good rounds so at least I didn’t lose to scores that weren’t to great. Just shows being on time can be too late when others start of early.

Today I didn’t skate on ice but I played my first roller session of the year and to be honest at this time in the year nothing can beat playing roller hockey doesn’t get better than it. Roller hockey is really fun cause it’s a complete different game it is all about patience and making really good hockey plays. And the group out there are great players few younger guys like my age and then the rest are guys who are older that we’re really good players when they were younger. We play roller at the hippodrome in white bear it’s a legendary mini rink I believe it’s the oldest indoor hockey rink in the metro.

5/10

Played golf at Keller this afternoon really sweet course in the Maplewood area. I’d say it’s one of the most underrated course around here cause not many play it a lot but gosh is it a really nice course i believe even back in the 40’s there was a pga tournament here which is really sweet. But on to my round it was a really back and forth round. I would have really good holes then right after I would just have a blowup hole so it felt like I could never get in rhythm and couldn’t make many putts which resulted in me shooting a 84.

For hockey had my first game in awhile it’s a showcase at Doug Woog arena with are high schools section they take the top 20 kid and build a team to play others teams. From here you can get selected to play in the NIT tournament where they take the top 20 guys from the showcase this weekend and play others teams across the country trying to win the NIT tournament. But today we had 1 game first game with a bunch of random guys is always pretty sloppy and hectic but came the third period are team started to get under control and we took the lead with 5 minutes left and ended up winning which was exciting.

5/16

Loggers trail. Today was I don’t even know how to explain it basically all over the place. Had a really rough morning couldn’t wake up kept falling asleep completely forgetting I had a match at 9 this morning until I look at the clock and it was 8:30 and I was like shoot I have a golf tourney in 30 minutes I better get going. Well I made but definitely not early I was there 2 minutes before my tee time and had no warmup so I had no expectations going into this round I was hey if I shoot anything decent I’m happy cause I’m already all over the place and I did exactly that so I’m not to mad I ended up shooting a 81 which isn’t great but isn’t terrible under my circumstances.

Didn’t have hockey today but went and watched some games this evening at the nahl showcase with my buddies. Which was pretty fun the games were really close and intense cause they are playing in the finals of the Robertson cup to win it all in the NAHL. After that we went and got some food at Leann chin which is one of my favorites. After we ate we all went to my friend Jacks house and just chilled. So today was a pretty good day of just chilllllllingggg!!!!

5/18

Road trip to brainerd with the golf team today. Today I won’t be saying anything about hockey because there is no hockey that happened today but we’ll be just talking about our first on the Brainerd golf road trip. We started on the road early at 10 am after having to show up to school at 9 too pack all the cars with us and are luggage and golf bags. But I road in the car with Harper, Hayden, and Flint which was a fun car ride we just ate food and talked about all the stories over the years so the trip was made quick with a lot of laughter. Then we showed up to the golf course where we were going to play are first round of the trip.

First round of the trip was a really sweet par 3 course to start off the week fun and compete amongst the guys. We brought up 9 guys so we split the teams into 3 where I played with flint and cooper. Let’s just say it was a butt killing to the other teams and they had no chance. We all played great we’re making everything and hitting every green where no one else could compete with us. So the first day of the road trip I would say was great.

5/23

He we are today back at the staple of where I play my best. That is indeed victory links. Victory links is basically where I play my golf everyday in the summer with my buddies so I know the course like the back of my hand so I was really excited to play today. I shot a 77 today 6 over which to be honest I’m happy with but I could’ve shot a much lower score but some putts just didn’t want to drop today to really help my score but are team in general today played really well finishing in third place which is really exciting. Today my good friend Hayden had a really good day on the golf course shooting 1 under which got him in third place.

Today was the start of the NIT tournament which was really cool to see my name be selected for the second year in a row. Lot of familiar faces on the team from just playing with and against over all the years of youth and high school hockey. To say the least today was one of my better games in a while which was great ended up talking to a couple of college coaches after the game which is always exciting and excited to keep in touch with them. But are team one with a score of 7-2 which we pretty much beat up on the team the whole day so first day of NIT was definitely a success.

Bruce Hornsby has built one of the most diverse, collaborative and adventurous careers in contemporary music. Drawing from a vast wellspring of American musical traditions, the singer/pianist/composer/bandleader has created a large and accomplished body of work and employed a vast array of stylistic approaches. Throughout this period, Hornsby has maintained the integrity, virtuosity and artistic curiosity that have been hallmarks of his work from the start. Hornsby and his band The Range's first album The Way It Is (1986) was steadily and slowly building in popularity in the U.S. when in August the title track exploded on BBC Radio One in England, then Europe, the rest of the world and finally in the United States. The record went on to sell three million records, the band played Saturday Night Live and opened for Steve Winwood, John Fogerty, Huey Lewis, the Grateful Dead and the Eurythmics before becoming headliners on their own tour supported by Crowded House. Soon Hornsby was being approached regularly to collaborate with a broad range of musicians and writers, a demand that continues to this day. He has played on records for Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson, Bonnie Raitt (piano on her iconic "I Can't Make You Love Me"), Willie Nelson, Don Henley, Bob Seger, Squeeze, Stevie Nicks, Chaka Khan, Charlie Haden, Jack DeJohnette, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver), Leon Russell, Chris Whitley, Warren Zevon, Bernie Taupin, Brandon Flowers (of the Killers), Cowboy Junkies, Shawn Colvin, Bela Fleck, Randy Scruggs, Hillary Scott, the Wild Magnolias, Clint Black, Sara Evans, Clannad and many more. He has worked on his own records with Ornette Coleman, Jerry Garcia, Eric Clapton, Sting, Elton John, Mavis Staples, Phil Collins, Pat Metheny, Branford Marsalis, Wayne Shorter and Justin Vernon, among others. Along with his early collaborator, brother Jonathan Hornsby and latter-day partner Chip deMatteo, Bruce has co-written songs with Robert Hunter (the great Grateful Dead lyricist), Robbie Robertson, Don Henley, Leon Russell, Charlie Haden, Chaka Khan, and Jack DeJohnette. His songs have been recorded by another broad array of artists including Tupac Shakur (his iconic "Changes"), Akon, E-40, Chaka Khan, Don Henley, Leon Russell, Willie Nelson, Mase, Randy Scruggs, and Robbie Robertson. Over the years Hornsby has successfully ventured into bluegrass, jazz, classical, and even electronica, reflected on acclaimed releases like two projects with Ricky Skaggs- Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby (2007) and the live Cluck Ol' Hen (2013), the jazz trio album Camp Meeting (2007) with Jack DeJohnette and Christian McBride, and Solo Concerts (2014), a stylistic merging of traditional American roots music and the dissonance and adventure of modern classical music. This latter-day interest has led to an orchestral project spearheaded by Michael Tilson Thomas featuring this new music; the first performance occurred in January 2015 with Tilson Thomas' New World Symphony. His three Grammy wins (along with his ten Grammy losses!) typify the diversity of his career: Best New Artist (1986) as leader of Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Best Bluegrass Recording (1989) for a version of his old Range hit "The Valley Road" that appeared on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Will The Circle Be Unbroken Volume Two, and a shared award with Branford Marsalis in 1993 for Best Pop Instrumental for "Barcelona Mona", a song written and performed for the 1992 Olympic Games. The sales stats and breadth of his collaborations (including being sampled many times by rap/hip-hop artists) speak volumes about Hornsby's unique fusion of mainstream appeal and wild musical diversity. His albums have sold over eleven million copies worldwide. Harbor Lights (1993) won the Downbeat Reader's Poll Album of the Year in 1994. Tupac Shakur co-wrote a new song over "The Way It Is" music called "Changes"; it was a major worldwide hit in 1998, selling 15 million copies. In 2006 his 4 CD set Intersections was selected as one of the best boxed sets of the year by the New York Times. His song "Levitate" was selected in 2011 by Sports Illustrated as one of the top 40 sports songs of all time. Bruce and his current band The Noisemakers' latest record ( a collection featuring Bruce on the Appalachian dulcimer) "Rehab Reunion" (2016) entered the Billboard album chart at 101, marking his tenth album appearance on the venerable chart over a thirty-year period. In 2016 the annual Rolling Stone "Hot List" selected Bruce as "Hot Surprise Influence", citing his influence and inspiration on such modern artists as Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and Ryan Adams. Throughout the years Hornsby has participated in several memorable events: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opening concert in September 1995 (with the performance included on the concert album), Farm Aid IV and VI, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival (many times), the Newport Jazz Festival (2007), New Orleans Heritage and Jazz Festival (1997 and 2011), Woodstock II (1994), Woodstock III (1999, with the band's performance included on the concert album), and the Bonnaroo Festival (2011). Hornsby, solo and with Branford Marsalis, has performed the National Anthem for many major events including the NBA All-Star game, four NBA Finals, the 1997 World Series Game 5, the night Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's all-time consecutive game streak, and the soundtrack to Baseball: A Film By Ken Burns. Bruce's long involvement with the Grateful Dead began when the group asked him to open two shows in Monterey, CA in the spring of 1987. Bruce and the Range continued to open shows for the Dead in 1988, 1989 and 1990, and after the tragic death of Dead keyboardist Brent Mydland the band asked him to play with them. He started winging it with them with no rehearsal for five nights at Madison Square Garden in September 1990,, and played more than 100 shows with them until March 1992. He continued to sit in with the band every year until Jerry Garcia passed away in 1995. He played in the first post-Dead band "The Other Ones" in 1998 (the album "The Strange Remain" chronicles that tour) and 2000. Bruce reunited with the band for the 50th Anniversary Fare Thee Well concerts in June and July 2015 at Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara,CA) and Soldier Field (Chicago). He appears on seven Grateful Dead records including "Infrared Roses" and "View From The Vault II". Bruce has been part of many tribute records including two Grateful Dead collections, the original Deadicated (1991) and the recent massive compilation curated by the band The National entitled Day of the Dead. He recorded "Black Muddy River" with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and Justin's high school band DeYarmond Edison. Other tribute record appearances include Two Rooms- A Tribute To The Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, a Keith Jarrett tribute, a tribute to The Band, a Fats Domino collection, Ricky Skaggs Big Mon- the music of Bill Monroe, and a Jackson Browne tribute record. A University of Miami alum, Hornsby has partnered with The Frost School of Music to establish the Creative American Music Program, a curriculum designed to develop the creative skills of talented young artist/songwriters by immersing them in diverse American folk, blues, and gospel traditions that form the foundations of modern American songwriting. Indeed, Bruce Hornsby's restless musical spirit continues to spontaneously push him forward into exciting new musical pursuits. He's composed and performed for many projects with long-time collaborator, filmmaker Spike Lee including end-title songs for two films, Clockers (1995, with Chaka Khan) and Bamboozled (2001). He contributed music for If God is Willin' And the Creek Don't Rise (2010), Old Boy (2013) and Chiraq (2015), and full film scores for Kobe Doin' Work, Lee's 2009 ESPN Kobe Bryant documentary, 2012's Red Hook Summer, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (2015), and Lee's film for the NBA2K16 video game (2015). Bruce wrote and performed the end title song "Set Me In Motion" for Ron Howard's Backdraft (1991) and a featured song "Big Stick" for Ron Shelton's Tin Cup (1996). He's currently working with DeMatteo on a musical entitled SCKBSTD, and contributed music for Disney/Pixar's Planes: Fire And Rescue (2014). Hornsby is also featured onscreen in and contributed music to the Robin Williams/ Bobcat Goldthwaite film World's Greatest Dad (2009), the first (and last!) time he has been asked to "act." Three decades after Bruce Hornsby established his global name as the creator of pop hits that defined "the sound of grace on the radio," as a Rolling Stone reviewer once wrote, such projects continue and are consistent with his lifelong pursuit of musical transcendence. "It's always been about staying inspired, broadening my reach and range of abilities and influences, and exploring new areas", Hornsby says. "I'm very fortunate to be able to do that, to be a lifelong student, and to continue to pursue a wide-ranging musical life."

An Evening w/ Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers

Garland Jeffreys has been making provocative, personally charged urban rock and roll since the late 1960s. 14 Steps To Harlem, the third album in six years by this “beloved rock-soul-reggae singer-songwriter” (New York Times) is set to release April 28 on his own Luna Park Records. Produced with James Maddock with core band members Mark Bosch, Charly Roth, Brian Stanley and Tom Curiano, guest spots by Brian Mitchell and Ben Stivers, a gorgeous duet with daughter Savannah and a radiant violin solo by Laurie Anderson, this record delivers what fans have come to expect from Jeffreys: edgy immediacy and literate, emotionally raw lyrics coupled with a still supple voice capable of singing in a practically limitless number of styles. Jeffreys has long held the respect of his peers and the breadth of contributors to his recordings and performances reflect that, as well as an ahead of his time penchant for musical genre-bending: Dr. John, The E Street Band, John Cale, Michael Brecker, Larry Campbell, The Rumour, James Taylor, Phoebe Snow, Sly & Robbie, Sonny Rollins, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Lou Reed among many more have recorded and performed with him. With a string of critically acclaimed records and radio hits including “Wild in the Streets” and his cover of the garage rock classic “96 Tears” it’s a testament to both the broad appeal and diversity of his music that his songs have been covered by hardcore punk legends The Circle Jerks (whose version of “Wild in the Streets” is a skater anthem), psych-folkies Vetiver and jazz trumpeter Randy Brecker. “Wild in the Streets” was recently featured in and included on the soundtrack album of the Baz Luhrmann-helmed Netflix original series “The Get Down.” A 2016 Long Island Hall of Fame inductee, a NY Blues Hall of Famer, performing in the Wim Wenders film “The Soul of a Man,” recipient of the prestigious Schallplattenkritik Prize in Germany and the Tenco and Premio Prizes in Italy, and performing at world-class festivals such as Byron Bay Blues, Montreux Jazz, Ottawa Folk and Fuji Rock, Garland Jeffreys will not go gently into that good night. Here’s what people are saying about his recent shows: • His live performances and his joy for life are undiminished. He will still jump from the stage and strut through the audience. When one story ends there’s always another about to begin... — No Depression • Backed by a crack band, Jeffreys bring his great songs, powerful voice and buoyant personality — The New Yorker • A seriously satisfying high-octane show — Huffington Post

More so than ever before, Kasey Chambers is writing like a true storyteller. The unrequited, antiquated refrains of 'Oh Grace' are sung as a man yearning his one true love. Likewise the broken-hearted nostalgia of 'Bittersweet' captures the story of two old lovers from both sides. Even 'Stalker' sees Kasey shedding her skin and imagining prowling after the fictional Spencer Reid, the socially-awkward genius from Criminal Minds. "In the show, the characters really have no personal life, so I kept thinking 'How would I get the character Spencer Reid to notice me? What crime am I willing to commit?'" But despite finding new ways to craft her stories, Kasey Chambers is still inimitably her. From the red dust of her nomadic childhood to the surf coast where she's raised her family, Kasey's always maintained that her records have been a testament to "who [she] was at the time". And her newest album is proof that she's unwilling to settle for anything less.

Bob Schneider Austin-based singer/songwriter/creative force of nature Bob Schneider has a guy in his band, Oliver Steck, who plays keyboards, accordion, trumpet and assorted whistles and horns. Also, Schneider notes, “Oliver also does a lot of dancing. He doesn’t necessarily get paid for the dancing. He does it because he can’t not.” Apparently, the same could be said of Schneider in terms of artistic endeavors in general. He can’t not be creating something. Sometimes it’s writing songs — he has written some 2,000 songs in the past 16 years — sometimes it’s creating videos to accompany some of those songs and sometimes it’s making gallery-ready art, including paintings and collages. He also has played a wedding singer in an indie film, written two books and penned a rock opera that has a title that can’t be printed in a family newspaper. Some of his musical mates even wonder when — or whether — he ever sleeps. “I love making things, so that’s what I spend a lot of my time doing,” says Schneider… “I do have periods where I feel like I’ll never create anything that’s any good ever again. The good news is, it doesn’t stop me from creating things, and eventually that feeling will pass and I can look over the stuff that I’ve made and figure out which of it is better than the other stuff. Because I like to do it so much, I’ll end up with quite a bit of it at the end of the year.” Schneider has been a recording artist for 25 years, putting out his first record (“Party Till You’re Dead”) in 1991 as frontman for Joe Rockhead, a funk-rock combo in the vein of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. That band was followed by his best-known group, Ugly Americans, which toured with the Dave Matthews Band and Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Ugly Americans was a kind of alt-rock supergroup, with former members of Cracker, Poi Dog Pondering and Mojo Nixon’s band. Schneider also fronted a full-on funk ensemble that played around Austin in the late 1990s called The Scabs, at the same time he was establishing himself as a solo artist. His first solo project, “Songs Sung and Played on Guitar at the Same Time,” came out in 1998, and he’s gone on to record an almost inconceivably diverse and eclectic array of songs since then, with his work making it onto the soundtracks of seven major motion pictures (and one indie film). All told, Schneider has been the singer and main songwriter on nearly 30 studio albums, and he has been named Musician of the Year six times at the Austin Music Awards. Considering the renowned strength of the music scene in Austin, that’s saying something. His artistry coupled with his movie-star looks and boyish charm makes it a wonder he’s not a household name around the rest of the country the way he is in Austin. The past few years, Schneider has grouped the songs he’s written in a year under an album title, just to kind of keep track of when they were written. Titles for recent years have included “Here’s the Deal,” “The Ever Increasing Need to Succeed,” “Into the Great Unknown” and “Mental Problems.” This year’s theme (and the name of his current concert tour) is “The Practical Guide to Everything.” Schneider has a fantastic website where fans can listen to all of the songs from the three five- song “King Kong Suite” EPs he released last year, with humorous commentary from Schneider himself between songs. The website also has the 10 videos he created for “King Kong” songs using public-domain found footage, including the menacing “Black Mountain” video that culls scenes from Francis Ford Coppola’s directorial debut. The website also offers a chance to stream his regular Monday evening shows at Austin’s Saxon Pub. Adapted from “Bob Schneider surfs an ocean of creative juices” written by Randy Erickson and published in the LaCrosse Tribune, April 14, 2016.

"I've been writing a lot of songs lately -- they come in waves, and I seem to be riding one right now. I'm playing some special solo shows in April to try them out. These shows will be mostly new songs, and a lot of me figuring stuff out along the way. It'll be fun and weird and cool. So, if you wanna see some works in progress, come on down. Help me figure out just how sturdy these songs are. Rock and Roll, Josh"
