Howell Park and Wesselmans

Well it's been another Par 3 weekend!  Saturday evening I was lucky enough to go play the back 9 at Wesselman's Golf Course in Evansville.  Now, I suck and I know I suck, but that's what makes Par 3 so much fun.  Generally speaking, others don't mind if I'm not the greatest, so it makes a great place to actually go and unwind.  And on Sunday morning I was able to play 9 at Howell Park. Saturday was actually my first game of golf this year and I actually surprised myself.  My goal was to shoot under 45 strokes, but I was able to pull off a 38.  Again, this was on the back 9 only.  On Sunday I...

5/3 Has Lousy Interest Rates

A few weeks ago I purchased a used vehicle and needed less than $5,000 to complete the purchase.  I have near perfect credit, with a FICO score of over 820 and have many accounts with 5/3 Bank, which date back years.  I have everything from savings accounts, checking accounts, business accounts, to even my mortgage.  But for some unknown reason, they were way out of the ball park when it came to a small loan interest rate. I found that the best interest rate locally was with Heritage Federal Credit Union.  I had a small savings account with them, which allowed me membership benefits.  These...

$10 Haircut

It's that time again, to get my bi-monthly hair cut.  I'm a 1 guard on the side and finger length on top, which generally takes less than 10 minutes.  However, I always end up paying what everyone else pays for a 20 minute hair cut, too much.  Tonight I think I'm going to look for somewhere else to go, because I hate waiting and the deals are getting harder to find. This may seem like a trivial post, but as a slightly balding late 20's, my hair is important.  The downside, is that I'm cheap and hate wasting time.  Generally I'll go to Master Cuts in Eastland Mall, where they have $10 men's hair...
