08.28.08Golf TravelAlright, alright... I admit to playing too much golf lately on my own little mini-tour to post much content. Work demands - unfortunately, a necessary evil at this time in my life - along with the pressure of an all-too-short season waning quickly, finds me scurrying off to the golf course as much as possible. A cool little something just came into my email in-box and, since I haven't yet developed the golf travel pages I'd like to add to this site, I thought I'd just post the link. Check this out... a golf and sightseeing trip ...

12.16.06Live Vicariously!If you aren't able to make the pilgrimage to that special course you've always dreamed of, check out Fine Living TV's The Wandering Golfer . They have a new host and lots of great venues on the schedule. Maybe St. Nick will bring you everything on your golf wish list. If not, you can still lift your spirits with a glimpse of St. Andrews on their Christmas Eve episode.
