12.26.09A Golfer’s ChristmasWell, that's that. Over 20" of snow fell on our sandy little peninsula a week ago; despite several above-freezing days we enjoyed a white Christmas. I use the word "enjoyed" loosely, as most of the golfers I know are already chomping at the bit to get back out on the course. It could be a really long winter. Despite the snow cover and lack of on-course playing time, I connected with a lot of golf friends over the holiday. We shall all be miserable together until the tee opens up again. Still, there are brights spots in the gloom. Continue ...

11.25.09A (Tee) Time for Thanks and GivingI truly miss blogging at GFTG on a regular basis, but please bear with me. I hope to be reaching a point in my other writing endeavor that I can again spend some time blogging at GFTG. Meanwhile, I'll try to post a few items that have been backing up in my in-box that might be of interest to the golfing public.

09.03.09Swing ThoughtsIt'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 ...

06.23.09More Than Fair Weather FriendsIt has been raining so often this spring in south eastern New England that most of us have simply given up on seeing the sun. It's been great weather for ducks but not for golf. So when the Weather Channel said "chance of a few showers" and the radar looked clear of any huge lurking green globs, we thought we'd take a chance and hit the links. Rained out of our usual Friday golf match for the past few weeks, my two friends and I were desperate for some stress relief. Kids, grand-kids, job issues, health issues - the tension had ...

05.25.09The Freedom of the GameThe Memorial Day holiday means more to me than every other holiday wrapped up together. It is more scared than Easter; more blessed than Christmas; more important than any President’s Day and - forgive me, Mom, but I know you’ll understand – more emotional than Mother’s Day. I do not mean to subvert the importance of this day by tying it together with a silly blog post about golf. I need to make it clear that I feel it is because of this day that I have the opportunity to play golf. As much as we’d like it to ...
