Wie Wie Wie…all the way home…

Hi everyoneIt saddens me to read this story about Michelle Wie. I have so much respect for that girl’s game, but her “entourage” leaves a lot to be desired. I can’t believe what she has had to go through with her parents. How can they exploit her so badly!!! What actually happened with the wrist? What’s the big secret? How …

Yeah! Golf rated above par for exercise!

There has been some debate over whether golf is a sport. I tend to argue in favor, but I did read a letter to the editor of some paper the other day arguing that it is not a sport because you can smoke while golfing, and what other sport lets you do that? So the other side argues it is …

Golfers lose that sinking feeling with floating golf ball

Wouldn’t you know it…it takes someone from “down under” to invent a golf ball that floats. I sure wish I had it this weekend.

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 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 …
