When Worlds Collide Golf and Family, Golf and Friendship
I was scheduled for office duty on Mother’s Day, being the only “non-mother” amongst my colleagues. Evidently, the Border Collie doesn’t qualify as a real child. Knowing the day would be quiet, with most people tied up with their own family celebrations, I planned an office picnic to mark the holiday with my parents and godmother. If I had to be working and couldn’t be golfing, at least I could squeeze in some family time. On the day prior to my planned get-together, my aging golf friend phoned to chat. I asked if she had plans for Mother’s ...

Not All The Golf Action Was In Augusta Competitive Golf, Golf and Family
My time in Atlanta was a mere four days but I enjoyed more sunshine and fresh air than I had in the last month and a half at home. Perfect weather combined with lots of golf, great company and dogwood and azaleas in full regalia. Truly heavenly. My get away was the perfect way to get a taste of spring, so illusive a season in my own neck of the woods. I couldn't have asked for anything better - except in terms of my golf game.

I went to bed last night with my hand shaped into a big "L" resting on my weary brow, stuck there I think, by the pollen that coated myself, my clubs, my bag and everything that has been out of doors in Georgia this week. Yes, folks, history was been made in Georgia yesterday afternoon, and not on the fairways of Augusta; my brother scored a victory in our first blood match of the week. We will return to the fairways today to continue the battle. I have learned a few things about golf in Georgia this time of ...

Georgia On My Mind Competitive Golf, Golf and Family
While every thing is sugar and spice and classically nice in Augusta this Master's week, my rounds of golf game will likely be a little less gentile. Ready for battle, I've packed up my sticks and headed south. I'll be teeing it up with my brother not far from the hallowed fairways beyond Magnolia Drive. All in good fun, we're prepared for a marathon three round golf match, winner to assume full bragging rights until whenever the next time comes that we can arrange to hit the fairways together. Half the fun is just playing golf. ...

Ready, Set, Golf! Competitive Golf, Golf and Family, Golf and Friendship, Just golf
For lovers of golf, it is time to focus, to practice and to play as much golf as we can cram into our lives. My warm -up for my own season is fast approaching; four days of golf and trash talking with my brother, the likes of which I'm pretty sure Atlanta Country Club has never seen. As is often quoted, “there's no crying in baseball.” Well, as far as I know there are no umpires in golf. That hasn't stopped my brother from lining one up to referee our first match when we meet again ...
