05.23.10Getting Back in the GameIt seems almost like yesterday, but in actuality, it was nearly seven weeks ago on Easter Sunday, about as beautiful and mild an early April day that has ever graced the sandy peninsula I call home. I had sauntered down the fairway, inwardly waxing poetic about the course and the camaraderie, enjoying a most excellent foursome that happened to include one of Cape Cod’s premier amateur golfers. How blessed can one girl be, I wondered? We holed out the last putt on nine much too soon. Filled with highbrow thoughts of a new season, rebirth and the miracles of ...

02.25.10USGA Rules of Golf App Available Now!How cool is this?

02.25.09There’s a Spring in My Step at the Golf CourseFinally, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Really. I know this because the days of having my breakfast coffee in the pitch black are behind me for the season. The sun is actually peeking over the horizon even before the dog wakes up, and it stays light enough in the afternoon to take a half way decent walk in the afternoon.

01.03.09Silly Golf ThoughtsIn the mild of winter in the northern climes, we have way too much time to think about golf and not nearly enough opportunity to play it. Nasty weather and snow cover doesn't mean we stop obsessing about golf altogether. I can't stop wondering about a few things in golf that have always puzzled me. What happens to all the pencils from golf courses? Does anybody ever take them home and sharpen them? Why do you never see the stub of a golf pencil? If you are allowed to tee it up on the tee box, why can't we tee it ...
