D-day approaches for Jason Day

I heard on the TV today while watching the Mercedes Benz Championship that Tiger has announced that he’s going for the grand slam again (Ok…so the last one spanned 2 seasons – who cares). Is he getting those 4 majors out of the way so he can…what…only play one more year after that to beat Jack’s record and retire? Yikes? …

TGW ads have got to go!

So…I am sitting here watching the Mercedes Benz Championship and enjoying the Canucks Wier and Ames going head to head on the leaderboard. But then, my enjoyment is continually disrupted by the most disgusting commercials I’ve ever seen and I decided I need to say something. A couple of years ago, TGW.com used to run commercials which showed addicted golfers …

Palm Springs Golf Getaway 2007 – Rancho Mirage

Our final day in Palm Springs was supposed to be at PGA West, but after Silver Rock, we decided that we would give ourselves a break and play something a little less challenging. So we chose Rancho Mirage. A very old fashioned, semi-private course, it offered a completely different experience from the other courses we played. There were a lot …

Palm Springs Golf Getaway 2007 – Terra Lago North

December 22nd, we headed up to Terra Lago just off I-10 about a 1/2 hour east of Palm Springs. Terra Lago was host to the 2000 and 2001 skins games. We played the North Course, which was stunning. I’ve tried to share with you a lot of pictures, but I have to say the course is even prettier than the …

Palm Springs Golf Getaway 2007 – Cimarron

Cimarron was awarded Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play in 2002-2003 and was also chosen as one of the Top 100 Women-Friendly Places to Play by Golf for Women magazine. The club house …

Better than any golf story today…

I am not sure if you already saw this video, but it came to me through my facebook account from a good friend who said I should take a few moments to watch it because it would make me feel good. And he was right… Take few moments and see if it doesn’t give you the lump in your throat …

Yummy yummy yummy, I’ve got balls in my tummy

Did you see this story? A python ate 4 golf balls thinking they were chicken eggs. Poor baby…well, that’s what you get when you try too hard for birdies…you end up with severe indigestion. Been there…done that! As much as snakes scare the dickens out of me, I’m happy it is alive and well and ready to hit the greens …

Bullets and Boo

LOL! What was he thinking? Bullets in his bag? Well, if it was going to happen to someone on the PGA tour, it just had to be Boo Weekley. What a character! I’ll never drive on the I5 again, where there is a store that advertises “Bullets and Beer” without rewriting it in my mind to say, “Bullets and Booze”. …

Palm Springs Golf Getaway 2007

Well, it was December 2007 and I was going through major golf withdrawal. I hadn’t played golf in over 2 months due to horrific weather in Vancouver. I’m not sure about this global warming stuff – in Vancouver, it’s got to be global cooling. We’ve had more snow and sleet in the past 2 months than in the past 4 …
