golf opinion

Have you ever been so in love with someone/something that you can’t imagine living without them/it?  That happened to me in 2007 when I fell in love with golf. Have you ever fallen out of love with someone/something and can’t imagine ever living with them/it again?  That’s what happened to me in 2015 when I fell out of love with …

In 2 previous blog posts, I looked at some of the issues that could be impacting on the declining participation of women in golf.  As I’ve found out in many years of marriage, women think differently from men, and men shouldn’t automatically assume that what works for them also works for women.  Unfortunately, the golf industry is largely run by …

This is the 2nd of a 3 week series of posts on Women in Golf  by Jim Lee of BC Golf. Probably most women would agree that most men don’t know what turns women on. In my case its (mostly) true, but it depends if you are asking my wife. So I’m going to restrict my comments in this blog to …

Hi everyone Sorry I’ve been less prolific in my blogging lately, but I have a good excuse 😉 I’ve been stepping out a bit and writing for some other publications. This weekend, Fore Her Magazine released its April issue and I was honored to have the publisher choose 3 of my articles to include in it: Page 50: Steele Canyon …
