I planned on a nice little martini blogging session tonight. Alas, it’s not meant to be. I was going to blog
about the dimple-less Caesar Golf balls but other plans came up. I had already poured - and started to drink - my martini when the mommy of Vito’s play-date for tomorrow called and s
aid she’d [...]

I witnessed this tragedy during a recent round and just had to snap some photos.
The man decided to take off his shoes and socks to stand in the water and play his ball from the edge of the hazard. His shot was actually decent and it I’m sure it saved him at least a stroke [...]

Today I am fulfilling my civic duty in response to a jury summons. You probably know what this means: a lot of waiting around to either never get called for a panel or get called and dismissed. Either way, it’s a lot of waiting around. I’m actually managing to get a lot done today since [...]

I’m told he’s not mentally disabled, so I guess Johnny Miller is fair game. With all the incredible action yesterday, it was irritating to have to listen to his nonsense. Rather than muting the telecast, I decided to document some of his gems. Some are listed by readers in this previous post, but here are [...]

Oh, Thursday, you bedeviler . Yep, it’s martini time again. I often go months without a martini and now here I am hitting them twice in the same week. If blame must be placed, I lay it on Vito. Well, maybe only for the first night. Tonight’s probably a little Grey Goose and a little [...]

I get so irritated when I’m watching a golf event that Johnny Miller announces. It seems like on every hole, he says something (often many things) so stupid, self-aggrandizing or just plain annoying that I want to mute the telecast and watch it to music. But if he’s actually mentally disabled, I’d feel bad criticizing [...]

The casting call has gone out for the ABC show Wife Swap and this time they’re looking for a golf family.

Here is how the casting producer describes the show:
“The premise of Wife Swap is to take two different families and have the moms switch places to experience how another family lives. Half of the week, [...]

Until now, no man in my life (other than Dad) has ever, would ever, could ever, make me do something I didn’t want to do. Or - more to the point - stop me from doing something I really wanted.
Then came Vito.

Vito is my new prison warden family member. He is a 3-year old Great [...]

I know, I know… The Masters is still going on and is engaging as all get out with Tiger making a charge today, the first day’s leader (Justin Rose) plummeting to near the bottom of the leaderboard, and 3 players at the top of the leaderboard each with three solid rounds under par. And what [...]

You know the cheating scumbags when you see them. The ones who intentionally post higher scores or conveniently “forget” to post their low scores. The obvious techniques to pad handicaps and gain extra strokes in competitions are easy to spot. But what about the passive-aggressive cheaters?
There is a sneakier behavior I only recently noticed. Perhaps [...]

Much of the advertising on golf broadcasts and in magazines already gives the older guys medicinal “advice” for a playing around with a woman, but I’m focusing on playing a round of golf with a woman. And while many of the younger men already seem to have a handle on it *ahem* and I’m targeting [...]

I think it’s clear that Tiger Woods is unstoppable, at least for the foreseeable future.
His remarkable combination of talent, drive and passion surpasses that of any other golfer in the world. As if that weren’t enough, it seems he has something else going for him as well. This month and this year, especially. According to [...]

Random acquaintance: I heard you play golf?
Golf Chick: You heard right.
Random acquaintance: But you’re not gay!
Golf Chick: It’s a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy these days. Shhh.
Random acquaintance: Really?
Golf Chick: *eye roll*
And so it goes. The stereotype of female golfers being lesbians is alive and well. At least among non-golfers and people who don’t [...]

Mine stinks. Unless there is something remarkable about the hole - like how it looks or how I or someone in my group plays it - I generally don’t remember it until I’ve been there at least a handful of times.
Sometimes I don’t even remember entire golf courses! For example, I was visiting my family [...]

Normally, the photo above would show a great view of the Channel Islands from Glen Annie. Since the photo wasn’t great anyway, I decided fireworks would be more appropriate for the occasion.
Glen Annie Golf Club, which we played today, is one of our favorite courses around here. Within a fifteen minute drive, there are probably [...]

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 [...]

I often dream about golf. Don’t we all?
Last night’s dream was exhilarating and frustrating at the same time. Apparently, I’m an underachiever when I’m sleeping.
The first part was imaginative and ambitious in that I was a good enough golfer to even be competing with Annika Sorenstam in the first place. I wasn’t a pro, [...]

Six years ago, the attacks on September 11, 2001 threw my emotions in a blender and hit frappé.
I was fortunate to have been one degree removed from losing a loved one that day but just as we all felt connected as Americans, I felt connected to all the victims. I felt obligated to ache for [...]
