DST extended… means more golf this year!
Whatever else you want to say about the U.S. government, it did something good for golfers (and nuclear and oil companies) back in 2005 when President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Starting this year, Daylight Saving Time will start earlier and end later than before, giving golfers more opportunities to play! We [...]

The “other Goose” puts up a dramatic win and Jennifer Mario has nothing to say?
I can’t believe it. Jennifer Mario, probably the biggest Goosen fan in the golf blogosphere, has nothing to say about Retief’s win at the Qatar Masters? For crying out loud, he birdied 17 and eagled the final hole to do it – it doesn’t get much more dramatic than that. AND he hadn’t won in [...]

Steroid testing in golf
Some women are naturally stronger or more athletic than others. Some really work on their bodies to increase their strength and skills. Some are more logically than emotionally oriented. These women already have an edge against their peers and will be among the first to be accused of “juicing.” I know from experience that such [...]

Golf horoscopes, why I’m like Tiger Woods, and why to bet on Natalie Gulbis
It is Friday night, right? I expected to be doing something else tonight but my other half is down with some kind of nasty cold. Rather than dosing up on Airborne and Emergen-C like I’m known to do in such situations, I opted instead to go the route of the martini. Truth be told, I [...]

Another Taylor Made driver
Since I’m such a TaylorMade chick, this new driver caught my eye. It seems to have been launched with a whisper and I can’t find that much information about it. It’s not even on the Taylor Made website yet! Here it is: The Taylor Made Burner Driver. It also comes in a “TP” model, which [...]

Justin Timberlake or Taylor Hicks?
Okay, I just have to weigh in on this. Seems a bunch of folks are up in arms over whether Justin Timberlake or Taylor Hicks should have been playing as a celebrity at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Taylor Hicks, hands down! It’s not like I’m an ongoing fan of his and I’m sure he [...]

Worldgolf in the news
My editor over at Worldgolf sent me a link to an interesting story. A group of investors teamed up to buy the Worldgolf network which includes many golf and travel websites with worldgolf itself as the flagship property. Here is the story on the”multi-million dollar” acquisition. Buyouts usually bring big changes, but worldgolf already had [...]

Playing to miss???!!!
The mental game is the most important part of golf. Personally, I don’t think that’s an opinion, I think it’s a fact. With that in mind, I can’t believe I haven’t written more about it or started a category on it yet. I’m going to change that now. I hear a lot of people talking [...]

Say it ain’t so, Phil!
While looking over some more Birdie Girl bloggerage, I saw a disappointing report about Phil Mickelson on Score Golf.Phil will “most likely” use Callaway’s FT-i square driver at the Masters this year. Seems he’s convinced the thing will help him hit it straighter. I don’t know if that’s the magic bullet or not but if [...]

Putting a Hex on Ugly Drivers
Square drivers are ugly. There, I said it. I might have said it already but just to be clear – I think they’re unappealing, unnatural and good old fashioned icky. But I guess square drivers weren’t different enough for one manufacturer. HiPPO Golf has a new offering that makes the square drivers look like pageant [...]
