I'm searching for my first hole-in-one. I enjoy being active and making things. I work for Automattic.

Quick Las Vegas Visit Planned

Nick Momrik1 Comment

Each year I attend the Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco, CA. On the flight home, we try and schedule a long layover in Las Vegas, NV. This year is no different. I’ll be landing in Vegas on Friday, January 18th at 10:16pm and flying out on Saturday, January 19th at 9:25am. The past two years we’ve played low limit hold’em at the MGM, but I think we are going to try Caesar’s this year. We’re looking for a card room that will stay relatively busy during the time we’ll be playing, so if you have other suggestions, let me know.

I think the last time I played poker was last year on the Vegas layover. My game is going to be a little rusty!

My 2007 Golf Season

Nick Momrik1 Comment

In 2007 I golfed more than any other year. In fact, I played nearly twice as many holes as I ever have in a single year. I logged 140 nine hole scores compared to 88 in 2006. Out of 140 scores, 12 were in the 30s and 11 in the 50s. Both are improvements from 2006 where I scored 10 times in the 30s and 12 times in the 50s. Those are numbers I could live with except for the fact my average score for 9 holes was up to 44.51 from 44.4 a year ago.

I played a lot more golf, so I should have improved. Well, I did improve in nearly every aspect of the game. I finally found a driver I can hit with confidence off the tee box and my irons and wedges were more consistent than they’ve ever been. My golf game really struggled in the short game and we all know that’s where you score. I had one of my worst years with the putter and just couldn’t get into a groove all summer long.

My biggest goal for the 2008 golf season is to make a dramatic improvement in my putting. I’ve been thinking about taking some putter lessons and even getting properly fit for a putter. Has anyone ever been fitted for a putter? If so, any recommendations you can make when I’m looking for a place to do it?

Another thing that really helped my golf game this past year was a trip to Phoenix, AZ during the second week of February to take some training for work. This year I plan to go to North Carolina in February to visit some friends, so I think the golf clubs will be making the trip. I’m already looking forward to it now that I mentioned it!

Custom Header Images

Tonight I decided to look through my golf pictures and see what I could use to personalize the header images. The background image (the sand trap) was taken during a practice round of the 35th Ryder Cup held at Oakland Hills Country Club in 2005. I snapped the picture before Chad Campbell got to his ball.

The insert picture was taken at the 2007 Hackers Whackers – McDuff Open. We are standing behind the 18th green on The Heather golf course at Boyne Highlands Resort in Harbor Springs, MI.

New Primary Rough Design

Nick Momrik3 Comments

If you are reading this at primaryrough.com you’re looking at a new design. I thought I’d freshen up the place with a new theme. The base design is a free WordPress theme from Templatextreme. I fixed a few things up and made a few modifications otherwise it looks the same as the theme you can download from their site. Hopefully in the future I will use my own personal custom photos.

What do you think of the new look?

Fax Calling My Phone

Does a fax machine keep dialing your phone number? I’ve had this happen several times at work and just had it happen a few minutes ago. If you are on phone system, this fix works great. Answer the phone and quickly transfer the call to your office’s fax number. The office fax machine will receive […]
