04.20.08Mastering the Game of GolfI set up a simple, quick trip to Georgia to visit my brother and play a little golf. In the planning it had not occurred to me that it was Master’s week. Barely a week before my excursion I was spending some social time at the local golf course bar and someone brought up the fact that I’d be ever-so-close to Augusta National and should try to score an entry pass to the famed tournament.

04.03.08Ready, Set, 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.

More accurately, I would guess, my golf drought was bound to come to an end, sooner or later. On a sunny but frigid afternoon, with silly golf ditties ringing in my head, I dejectedly left my office and headed to the golf course for a late afternoon walk with the dog. If I couldn't play golf at least I could walk the course, feel the grass beneath my feet and dream of warmer days to come. I didn't know just ...

02.11.08The Best Use of the DayThe day started out innocently enough and with every good intention. I planned a quick stop at the golf course cafe for breakfast and then an early start on a catch-up day at the office. The last few weeks had been filled with computer glitches, hard drive failures and disc errors. I needed a day to make some headway on the tasks that had piled up on my desk during the high tech mayhem. But the best laid plans and all that stuff... it just wasn't meant to be a work day.
