Pot of Gold on the 18th Hole

Die hard golfers play in the rain and enjoy a double rainbow on the last hole.

291 Yard Drive

Eagle chip was miles short and didn’t make the birdie putt.

“Where is it? Somewhere out there.”
Unfortunately it was dead left into the woods.

2nd Place in Golf League

Bill and I have been playing together in golf leagues for at least 5 years. We’ve had a lot of fun, but were never close to the top of the standings. We decided to switch to a new course and joined a league not knowing anyone. We moved from Twin Oaks, a wide open easy [...]

Nearly had a hole-in-one yesterday. Landed 3 feet behind the cup and spun back right over the edge of the cup to about 4 inches in front.

Heading out with the boys for a 3 day golf trip. The laptop isn’t going. Can’t wait!

Dad came down for the weekend. We fixed up some things on the house, golfed both days, and caught a movie. I’m going to finish up a few gutter extensions and then relax.

There isn’t anything I enjoy watching more than Sunday at the Masters.

Golfed 18 holes today. Was good to finally enjoy some weather.

Last year I was golfing on March 25th in short sleeves. Today there is still snow on the ground. Global warming my ass!

I’ll be on the golf course in less than 15 hours.

Predictions for Tiger Woods in 2008

Tiger Woods has been dominating the PGA Tour since August of 2007. All of the sports coverage on TV and on the web is saying it will be a special year. I think we all can agree. Woods looks unstoppable. I’m willing to go out on a limb and make some predictions.
In 2008, I predict [...]

Driver #2 From G.R.I.P.

I just ordered a new driver. It’ll be my second driver from G.R.I.P.. I loved the first one so much I had to try out one with a lower loft and a stiff shaft, so I ordered the 9 degree with stiff graphite shaft. They had a special for $100 that also comes with a [...]

Putter Fitting and Lesson

Checking into King Par Academy and GolfTEC (through GolfSmith) for a putter fitting and putting lessons. Has anyone used either one of them before? Any other suggestions around mid-Michigan?

I'd Take Their Bad Shots

I’ve been watching the final round of the Target World Challenge since it came on the air at 3pm. If I look out the window I see 10 inches of fresh snow from last night and this morning. I think I know where I’d rather be…on the golf course.
While Tiger Woods isn’t exactly running away [...]

Reviewing 2007 Golf Goals

As 2007 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to review golf goals from 2007. They were:

Keep my 9 hole scores starting with a 3 or 4. I don’t want to reach the half-century mark again this year.
Break 80.
Get a hole in one. (When isn’t this a goal for a golfer?)
Break 40 more consistently.
Keep [...]

My 2007 Golf Season

In 2007 I golfed more than any other year. In fact, I played nearly twice as many holes as I ever have in a single year. I logged 140 nine hole scores compared to 88 in 2006. Out of 140 scores, 12 were in the 30s and 11 in the 50s. Both are improvements from [...]

Custom Header Images

Tonight I decided to look through my golf pictures and see what I could use to personalize the header images. The background image (the sand trap) was taken during a practice round of the 35th Ryder Cup held at Oakland Hills Country Club in 2005. I snapped the picture before Chad Campbell got to his [...]
