I picked up a copy of Putting Out of Your Mind by Bob Rotella a few days ago and I’m enjoying it.
The mental side of the game is one of the main appeals for me. I’ve learned so much about composure and self-control over the years. Taking up golf a couple of years ago meant [...]

I was poking around, looking for products to feature in a golf gift article I’m writing for WomenGolfApparel.com, and came across this Pet Food Bowl. Click the post title to see a pic

Isn’t it adorable? Look at the wee little bunkers and the bucket of balls!
Too funny!

Rochester region EWGA chapter tournament, played at Ravenwood yesterday. I shot a 101 and took low gross for my flight.
I’m a happy camper

Be still my heart!
I am now projecting all my romantic fantasies onto THIS MAN. Call me, Rocco, I promise to pick up!

Last fall, around the time it got too cold to golf anymore, I was feeling pretty discouraged about the game.
It seemed to me that after a year & a half of playing I should have been getting better. Ha. I was as close to breaking 100 at the end of 2006 [...]

Is golf in trouble?
My dad and I have been talking about it because one of the courses he plays once in awhile — the Conklin outside of Binghamton, NY — used to have long lines to tee off, but now is often considerably more quiet.

Played 18 at Taranwould Golf Course with the EWGA travel league today. It’s a short course — 4350 yard, par 66 — but it doesn’t play particularly short, at least not to this admitted neophyte golfer.
One of the interesting things about the course is that several of the holes are replicas of holes at famous [...]

I have taken three lessons now with Darlene Sommer at Play Better Golf. First she changed my grip. Then she changed my address.
Yesterday she took me on the next step — my backswing.
Turns out I wasn’t rotating my shoulders at the top of my swing — they were too flat. This caused my club head [...]

Golfgirl linked to an article by a Scotsman who believes women don’t work as much on their shorts games as much as men do.
Unfortunately, he takes a rather unkind tone — he describes women’s short games with words like “inadequate” and “inferior” — hello, somebody else needs to be expressing a bit of [...]

Rochester’s got three municipal golf courses, and Genesee Valley Park is the one that’s closest to my house. For that reason it’s the course I’ve played the most since I took this game up in the middle of last summer.
I played a couple times there this week now, too. Sunday I played my best [...]
