Golf Fore the Good

It’s not that I haven’t been thinking about blogging, but life is just too darn short these days - and the summer even shorter. I haven’t abandoned Golf Fore the Good altogether but I’ll sure have a lot of catching up to do come the chill winds of fall. Meanwhile, let’s all squeeze in as many possible rounds of golf as we can. Until the fall, I leave you with a few random golf thoughts:

Here I am facing the fall member-guest in just a few days when it seems like the season has barely begun. This is an event I look forward to each year as I play with a very special friend and mentor. I hope to live up to her expectations!

My brother and nemesis on the golf course reports his handicap has crashed. I say he is playing way too much golf… and I need to work less and play more. He has lined his pockets with my money and I want it back!

My new pet peeve: members who bitch about course conditions, hole after hole. It is what it is. The greens have to be punched at some point. Get over it. They’ll come back better than ever.

I think I might be catching on to that “press” thing… and liking it… it sure has worked for me this year. How about that $20 putt on 18, guys?

Practice might not make perfect but it sure does help build confidence.

Just because you break 80 (or 90 or 100) a couple of times, it doesn’t mean you’ve really mastered the game. As my friend said the other day, this game has a way of jumping up and biting you in the behind at any given moment. Don’t I know it.

I found a couple great new playing partners this summer but sure did miss my old friend anyway. Jack, it’s just not the same without you! Miss you, toots!
