02.26.08The Not So Simple (Golfing) LifeIt seems like only a few days ago that the biggest discussion at Dennis Pines was where we'd meet on Friday nights now that the concession was closed for a few weeks. Things sure went from snug and cozy to wild and woolly pretty quickly; and I'm not talking about the weather. With spring just around the corner and the early advent of daylight savings time this year we're all ready to get out the sticks and hit the course. It's a pretty sure bet that now golf balls aren't the only thing that'll get whacked around. I ...

02.21.08Following the Elaine Joyce Golf DebacleAs a follow up to the GFTG post of February 19th many of you may be interested in reading this article in the locally published Register newspaper (click here for the link to The Register article). Hmmmm.... the plot thickens. It seems like our golf committee addressed the gender bias issue last year. God bless you, Jim Horvath, for your knowledge and effort. We all know it it not the first time your concerns have not been seriously considered. As sometimes happens, it seems the time line of events with regard to this whole mess is ...

02.19.08Such a Civil Game, Yet So Much Controversy!Wow. If bees weren’t already buzzing at Dennis Pines and Dennis Highlands, they sure are swarming now. Killer bees, I think.

Of course that ended the day I took a few swipes at a golf ball and connected - really connected – for the first time. This winter, our off season has been far from quiet and certainly never boring. Apparently you can take the golf clubs out of our hands, but you can’t ...

08.26.07Growing With The GameIn the small town where I grew up, life was all about team sports; baseball, soccer and basketball. Golf ranked well below tennis on the scale of cool and only slightly above the lowly position held by the cheerleaders and their pompoms. The high school golf team consisted of a half dozen mop-headed young men hoping to fill an off-season with a sport… any sport… even one with heroes named Arnie and Jack. Plaid was out; tie dyed was in. A non-contact sport steeped in tradition and history that appeared to progress at a snail’s pace just didn’t peek ...

08.12.07A Champion Among ChampionsOn a glorious summer weekend in southern New England with weather that can only be described as divine, professional golfers and amateurs alike vied for championship status. On this same weekend, the golf gods have reclaimed one of their own. Esteemed for her immaculate pro shop, beloved for her zest for life at the 19th hole; revered throughout greens and fairways of area golf courses; in this, our own little corner of the kingdom of golf, Carol Haberl was a nothing less that a deity. Every local golf community has its staunch supporters, populated with greens keepers and head ...
