The secret to a great golf game at 90 years old —- a good wife

What a great story! Ken Darlington, a 90 year old man, regularly shoots under his age and amazes everyone he meets. And what’s best of all…he attributes it to his lovely wife, Lorraine of 64 years. I know I know…this is turning into a chick story, but how can one read this story and not walk away thinking “Wow….I sure …

Pro Golfers and Callaway raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer

Did you know that September is National Ovarian Cancer Month? Thanks to The Golf Chick for sharing this campaign on her blog. You can read all about it on her post. I think I need to shop for something Teal. I wish I could have bought one of those teal bags – I just bought a blue Callaway bag a …

And I thought I was addicted to golf!

Can you imagine collecting over 5,000 books on golf – books that now have a total value of almost 1/2 million dollars and then giving them away? What a generous (or crazy) man. I love him! And to think he’s from my town – Vancouver. Lucky UBC students having a donation like that. Makes me want to go back to …

Mikelson opts out of 3rd Fedex Cup event….AND not feeling too bad about it

I find it interesting that there is a playoff where players don’t have to play to stay in the running. I think that says something about the way points are calculated perhaps. And Phil pulling out AFTER making those comments about his frustration with Finchem…hmmm….don’t like the looks of that. Phil, did your mother not tell you, “If you have …

Mickelson Tames Tiger

Did anyone watch the press conference after the first or second round where Phil said he was chuckling throughout the round watching Tiger? It was because Butch had shared with Phil some “inside information” on Tiger’s game – mannerisms…behavior…we don’t really know (Phil kept that to himself), but he did indicate then that it helped him understand Tiger and that …

Matrimonty!

How cute is this? Monty’s marrying a woman who’s a virgin when it comes to golf. From handles to grips and sticks to shafts, she’s come a long way, he says, but still doesn’t really know or care about the sport. Given Colin’s obsession with golf (which killed his first marriage), it’s kind of strange he’d pick a bride who …

When golfers ruin golf

I should have blogged this 2 weeks ago when I probably played with the most annoying golfer ever. I kid you not when I say that a very very nice man, who really could hit a ball, thought he was playing the PGA on every shot. I have never seen a pre-shot routine that took so long – on every …

Mandated golf carts – A good walk spoiled

Sounds like a step backwards in the “sport” of golf to me! How ridiculous to mandate carts just to get more people on the course. And they try to say that it’s “not for the money – it’s so more people can golf”. Sure…more people…more revenue for the golf course…more people with mandated carts which aren’t free…more revenue. Do they …
