  While many of my friends are fleeing Ohio for warmer climates, some of us I am determined to find a way to golf all year round. This photo was taken about a week ago when a few southern-bound gals joined us for one last round of Ohio golf.I thought t...

• WARNING: Being a Goofball Can Be Costly

  While I am a serious golfer, I have a tendency to clown around on the course a lot a bit. I know this costs me strokes sometimes, but I think it also helps me release some tension at other times. I figure it all evens out in the end.But since I only ...

  Posted on Friday October 16th, 2009 at 09:03 in playing with the ladies, life as a golfer

  I recently received a great deal of grief for being stupid enough to join the prestigious Birdie Club. I even had one funny golfing pal try to get me to join her Triple Bogey Club just after she discussed some glorious beachside property in Arizona. ...

  Sometimes I wonder why I share these stories. I guess I'm curious if anyone else is as big a loon as I am.One of my friends has recently started to bring her video camera on the course so we can record and analyze our swings. I'm a bit camera shy, bu...

• Birdie Club

  I think I've been conned. My friend, and golfer extraordinaire, recently recruited me into her "Birdie Club."Here's how it happened. A few weeks ago I made a birdie. She looked at me and said, "Do you want to join my Birdie Club?" Well of course I di...

  Welcome to the jungle! That was our member-member tournament theme last weekend and a jungle it was. We didn't end up winning, but we had a wonderful time and our cart with "Jerry the Giraffe" drew a tremendous amount of attention on the course and f...

• One Down, Three to Go

  Posted on Friday August 7th, 2009 at 06:21 in competition, playing with the ladies

  I'm in the midst of a four-day golf tournament marathon. This is a lot, even for someone who loves golf (and competing) as much I do.The first in this golfing series was a fun partner event held at York Country Club. My partner and I had a serious "h...

• Golf Coins Clean Up My Act

  Posted on Wednesday August 5th, 2009 at 08:55 in Games, playing with the ladies

  I love to play games when I am golfing. I have also become a strong believer in placing a small wager on a round of golf. For some reason, those 3-foot putts are much harder even if you have a mere quarter or two on the line.But sometimes the ladies ...

• The Best Loss Ever

  Posted on Monday August 3rd, 2009 at 06:45 in competition, playing with the ladies

  The first time I picked up a club was in 1992, but I didn't become a golfer until March of 2006. Once I fell for golf, however, I fell hard and there has been no turning back. I'd love to tell you the Cinderella story of how I won our 2009 course cha...

  Today marked a very important day in my golfing career adventure saga epic. I earned my first trophy. Alright already, it was probably more like a paperweight, but it still counts.According to Merriam-Webster a "trophy" is defined as "something gain...

• Wanna Make a Bet?

  Posted on Monday May 4th, 2009 at 05:26 in playing with the ladies, life as a golfer

  This is painful to admit (like many things I post) but in an effort to post my honest thoughts on golf, I will continue. I think the guys know what they are doing when it comes to betting on the course.I have never been much of a gambler, although I ...
