A weak and neurotic moment
I could probably also title this “Confessions of a wack-job” but I guess personal blogs are often confessionals (and bloggers are often wack-jobs?). Here it is: Irony notwithstanding, I am terrified of getting better and losing. And what if I never can get as good as I want to or expect to get? I think [...]

A Fun-Raising Tournament
Monday was Washington’s Birthday, a federal holiday here in the U.S., and I’m fortunate that my company has it as one of our designated holidays so I had the day off. I spent it at a local golf course, of course. It was actually a fundraising tournament for a children’s baseball league and was held [...]

Another new golf blog
Here’s another new blog* about trying to improve at golf: From Thirty to Scratch. I love the name and the goal. While many people are struggling with colder conditions right now, here is a golfer from Western Australia, currently concerned with a too-hot forecast. Poor baby, right? Anyway, he (I assume it’s a he but [...]

Where is the Jam-Boy?
Where, oh where has our Jam-boy gone? Who’s on the bag? One of my favorite golf bloggers, The Reluctant Jam-Boy, hasn’t made an entry since January 7! Incidentally, that was two days before I added his link to this site and talked about how much I liked his blog. Was it something I said? I [...]

Is it time to wrap Bode Miller in a Shroud at Turin?
Alert: this post is not golf related. Is Bode Miller to these Olympics what Anna Kournikova is to women’s tennis? Since he has actually won in the past, perhaps that’s a bit harsh, but he is making a swift transition from pin-up boy of skiing to poster boy for underachievement. Oh Bode, even the balls [...]

So this is “A” Flight
Since my handicap index has continued to decline, I have actually progressed from “B” flight to “A” flight in my club. While the “B” flight members expressed some relief, the “A” flighters are gunning for me. After last month’s rainout, we had our first tournament of the season on Saturday. Last year, they had the [...]

Conversation with a tweaking nihilist
This week, my work took me to Middleofnowhere, Ohio. In case that doesn’t ring a bell, it’s about an hour east of Neverheardofit, Indiana. I must be getting old because there was a time this experience would have thrilled me in a romantic Kerouac-like hop-off-a-train kind of On the Road sort of way. Maybe I’m [...]

Vote early & vote often
A sincere thank you to the two people who voted for me in the first round of Golf Blogger Survivor. Whoever you are, I appreciate your support and thanks to you I’m still on the “island” and in the game. The polls are open for voting in the second round. There were several good entries [...]

Happy 11th birthday to the Goose!
Kess, a.k.a. “The Goose” turns eleven years old today! She is still recovering from her recent surgery, so she’s got a convenient old-lady-like wobble to her gait to mark the occasion. And the huge patch on her back that was shaved is taking its time growing back. I guess she really wants to milk the [...]

The City that Never Golfs?
I absolutely love New York City. I don’t think I could live there, but I sure enjoy visiting and love it when work takes me there. I go to a lot of crap places, so it’s nice when I actually like the city I visit. There is so much to do and see and I [...]
