How to Cure a Slice

I’d write a book but it’s just too simple. I had this epiphany on the range awhile back. Many golfers probably know this and it’s just too bleepin’ basic, but I think we all forget it from time to time.
Have problems with a slice or just pushing the ball to the right? Here’s the answer, [...]

Annika v. Lorena: The Rematch

Also known as The Greater Sinaloa Open 2: Electric Boogaloo

Well, I took Lorennika Sorenchoa back to the local dogrun to give Annika a rematch. The course wasn’t too busy but we didn’t have it all to ourselves. I caught up to a family on the third hole and the little kids were adorable to watch. [...]

Annika and Lorena Battle it out One-on-One

This past Tuesday, Annika and Lorena were the only ones on the golf course for this epic one-on-one duel. Stroke play format. Nine holes. One bag. Who would prevail?
Annika won the toss and teed off first, but honors changed hands several times as they battled back and forth. Both women used the same clubs - [...]

When simply not losing is winning

It was a fabulous weekend at the Nevada/California state line. The golf took place on the California side at Primm Valley Golf Club and the gambling and a little sleep happened on the Nevada side at Terrible’s. The weather was the best we’ve ever had there - topped out in the low 90’s with very [...]

Sneaking in some golf behind my man’s back

I’m a little disturbed that I’m getting used to the fact that I can forget how to swing a golf club. But why shouldn’t I? Golf is difficult. Sometimes I forget how grapes taste and that doesn’t bother me, so why should this?
Today was the monthly tournament with my golf club. I had to skip [...]

Did anyone turn in a swing?

I don’t remember exactly when it all started going downhill for my golf game and I don’t remember where. All I know is, since October - I am ashamed to admit - I have only been playing golf about once a month at our club events. So naturally, my game keeps getting worse. I feel [...]

Paula Creamer wins on an easy course and I just have to elbow Michelle Wie

The ladies played a pretty golf course this weekend and Paula Creamer was once again victorious in Hawaii. But shouldn’t a golf course be more than just a pretty face?
In my latest post on Swing Thoughts over at GFW, I discuss Ko’Olina Golf Course and why it shouldn’t be on the LPGA rotation. I’m no expert, [...]

That’s it - I’m turning pro.

Okay, I guess I should say turning to a pro. A teaching pro, that is.
After my lesson fiasco when I first started, I decided I wanted to continue to “do it myself” and learn by watching, reading, and practicing. Well, the practicing is nearly non-existent now and I don’t even have much time to play as practice. Sadly, [...]

Getting along with pigs

I’m still the only woman on my golf club. As I think I’ve mentioned before, there are some dissenters but they seem to have been quieted. Over the last couple years, I guess I’ve gained the respect of most.
There’s one guy who was always the most annoying, the most vocal (and loud, at that) and [...]

Who’s sandbagging?

Oh boy… my handicap index is headed in the WRONG direction. Yes, I actually like when it goes down, despite the title of this post. See, I want to actually be a better golfer, not win by pretending to be worse than I am.
This hasn’t been a good year for either. Improvement? Ha. Winning? Double [...]

How to hit a fried egg bunker shot

You know the feeling - you hit what you think is a great shot to the green only to watch it come down short in the bunker. As you approach the green and see your golf ball, your entire foursome groans at the sight. They feel your pain. The “fried egg” lie awaits.
Recently (within the [...]
