I've gotten so consumed in Tweeting that I find myself neglecting Blogger. I'll try to give The Daily Bailey more of my time this summer.
As far as my plans for this summer...I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling and I plan on sharing my adventures here with you.
As for now, check out bayandjay.com to read my latest venture - golf reviews, news, and tales of my boyfriend's and my travels across the country and the world.
Enjoy!

Is Writing For The Rich?
Wilkinson contends that perhaps writing is something that only those with other sources of income can afford to do....cause freelancing and blogging sure aren't paying the bills.
Where is the future of this industry heading?
If anyone has the answer, please let me in on the secret. I lose sleep contemplating it far too many nights....

Fore Golfers
GreenFinder, a GPS application for your smartphone (blackberry, iphone) allows you to search yardages to the pin, calculate distance to carry hazards, and most notably, enables you to measure the distance you hit each of your clubs.

Valley of the Sun-Day Fun-Day...FBR and the Superbowl
The FBR Open, regularly scheduled the same day as the Superbowl, is arguably the only regular schedule PGA Tour event that could mildly hope to compete with what most of America considers a National Holiday.
(Note: I said mildly. In no way, shape, or form am I trying to argue that sports fans hold the two dear to their hearts in any similar capacity. But, if a person so desired to attend a golf outing in the morning and watch football in the afternoon, the 16th at TPC Scottsdale might be the only bargaining tool the Tour has.)
This year, the FBR Open is going to throw its own public Superbowl bash at the popular Greenskeeper Tent located just west of the 18th hole, to help cheer on the Cardinals to a victory over the Steelers.
The FBR Open typically ends between 3:30-4 p.m. and kickoff is scheduled for about 4:15 p.m. As soon as the last putt drops, the Superbowl will be televised on a JumboTron.
Admission is free, the venue will house several thousands of fans, and sports lovers and beer drinkers can migrate from the 16th hole to the Greenskeeper Tent to keep the party going.
Oh yeah, did I mention that if you wear a Cardinals jersey to the tournament on Sunday you get free admission all day? What more of an incentive could you hope for?!

Watch Golf, Drink Beer, and Get Rowdy!
Fans can get as rowdy as they want and won’t have to keep it corporate at the 16th, as the tournament is not selling bleacher seats for company sponsorships. For fans’ viewing pleasure other than the par-3, some of the seats will also provide a view from behind the tee box of the short par-4, 17th.
While the tournament doesn’t want to sell bleacher seats to corporations, they most certainly want to sell the 16th hole as a brand. Much like golf fans know “No. 17” refers to the island green at TPC Sawgrass, home of The Players Championship, Tournament Director John Felix likes to think everyone associates “No. 16” with the par-3 at Scottsdale, and he wants to ensure it stays that way.
As happy as fans are sure to be with the additional seating space, Felix said that the new arrangement around No. 16 also was designed to aid the players. It had been previously difficult for players to walk from the 16th green to the 17th tee, but the new tunnel built for this year’s event will make their transition a much smoother one.
While the new seating configuration will relieve players the stress of getting from green to tee, it will most certainly revive the fans’ spirit and cheer at this winter’s golf party extraordinaire event.

The Greatest Job on Earth... No, Really....
Australia was phenomenal. My friend Ashley and I had the time of our lives and will definitely be life long friends, as we bonded during the trip in more ways than I can count. :)
But I'm not writing to discuss my trip, as that would take a substantial amount of time that I don't have right now to dedicate to blogging about Australia.
INSTEAD, I wanted to alert anyone looking for the greatest job on earth (which, I believe, is most everyone I know) to this amazing opportunity.

Why am I sharing this tidbit instead of hogging it to myself you ask? Believe it or not, i won't be applying for this job... But if any of my friends landed this gig, you'd better believe I'd be there to visit!
Happy Application Process! :)
