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 …

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. I spent a hot, but lovely afternoon playing Mayfair Lakes in Richmond, BC. A beautful course (and club house), but they don’t call it “Lakes” for nothing! I think the starter said there are 12 holes …

As a marketing consultant, I strongly believe in “Relationship Marketing”, even in this Internet age. Of course, I am doing more and more internet marketing through social media outlets, but when it …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
