12.14.07Golf: The Good, the Bad and the UglyIt may be the off season in my neck of the woods, but all is not quiet in the local golf community. Golf and life go on in this holiday season, and unfortunately not all of it is full of good will toward men... but even the worst of it can be good for a belly laugh and a ho, ho, ho, depending on which side of the fence you’re on. First, the Good: If you are a golfer anywhere within the proximity of Cape Cod you might want to add an item to your Christmas wish list. At ...

12.08.07‘Tis the Season - to GolfWhat is it about golfers and our addiction? As with many addicts, the holiday season can be rough. Here we are, just two weeks before Christmas.

It might be a single perfect shot or one well played hole. And sometimes, just sometimes, without any particular defining moment in an entire round of golf, you look back over eighteen holes and realize you played your best.

05.26.07Having A Goal In MindMy very first golf pro once told me the best way to improve as an amateur golfer, aside from practice, was to set personal goals. It has been years since I've actually thought about my game like that. It seemed to work well for me then. Now, at the start of a new season, it is the perfect time to reassess my game and set some new goals. They may be a little less concrete than my early objectives but they are goals none the less and may prove a bit harder to attain. One of the beauties ...
