Checking your golf game for clues to your health (The Wall Street Journal)

Not sure if you want to read this one or not...

At first I thought...okay...I do walk as much as I can and when carts are mandatory at a club, I like to get dropped away from my ball and walk up to it...so I must be okay...

And then I read the rest of this and thought...Hmmph...they just described my game. So right now I feel I should just go out and shoot myself.

My partner always says..."You must be fit to play golf because golf won't make you fit."

Sigh....I hate it when he's right! :)

100 holes in one day -

Hello Everyone

I just heard from a fellow golfer who is just a tiny bit crazy, but I love crazy golfers, don't you? Can you imagine golfing 100 holes in one day! Well, Mr. Ronald Montesano is doing just that in June to help support the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in its fight against cancer.

Here is his donation page where you can support his heroic efforts.

Best of luck Ronald...we'll all be in your virtual gallery cheering you on!

Don't get too good at golf

This is too funny and oooohhh soooo true :)

I thought you all might enjoy this lesson in humility. I can relate very well to Mr. Patterson, but my notions of granduer happened after I birdied a hole. It was like I'd died and gone to golf heaven, and then every hole after that became "birdiable" - haha...NOT!!!

Golf is the most frustrating way to spend 4 hours, but that one hole, or that one round, will keep you coming back again and again for punishment. Will we never learn???!!!................I hope not :)

The Magnetism of John Daly

I saw John play the skins game up at Nicklaus North two years ago and he was great. Not only did he wow the crowd with his drives, but he was so talkative and friendly with the audience and other players. I sure hope he comes back from this set back and really starts to perform like his fans all know he can. But even if he doesn't win another tournament, he'll always be loved by golfgals everywhere!

John Daly withdrew from five tournaments and missed the cut in eight others on the PGA Tour. His best finish was third place at the Skins Game, which had only four players. And that didn’t really count because it was after the 2006 season, the worst of... read more...
