Congratulations, Natalie!
I knew she was more than a pin-up girl. I was certain she was not doomed to Anna Kournikova status. If you let Natalie’s charming smile and on-course strut fool you into thinking there wasn’t a fierce competitor under there, you probably didn’t bet on her like I recommended. Okay, it wasn’t a prediction to [...]

Earning First but taking home Second
It’s bittersweet. But mostly sweet. I’m just glad to bring home a plate. Here’s the story: Every year, the president of the golf club I’m in plays in the SCGA Affiliate Team Championship tournament. Every year, he takes a different person to be his partner. (He jokes that he can’t get the same person to [...]

Everything’s fine in private and women are always fair game
Sorry, Sergio. Gary Player’s comments about the use of performance enhancing drugs by some Tour players was, for a moment, a bigger story than the golf at the Open Championship at Carnoustie.

Paula Creamer runs
Paula Creamer bleeds? Fades? However you want to put it, Paula’s so pink she should only be washed with like colors. Look what happened to this poor dolphin after Paula got in the water with it. Before. After. H/T to William Wolfrum. Next post.

Gender confusion?
Why do people insist on including gender when describing some professions or activities? “What does he do for a living?” “He’s a male nurse.” We’ve already established we’re talking about a male.

Seems like a different tournament without Wie
Or is it just me? The whole production, the vibe of the event… it all actually seems like a golf tournament instead of a circus with a sideshow. Without Wie around, we actually got to see some footage of Jesper Parnevik at the John Deere. In fact, had he made that putt for his third [...]

A tip from my favorite caddie
Probably my favorite golf blog to read is The Reluctant Jam Boy. No filler posts, no reviews, no gratuitous keyword whoring, just good stories from his life as a caddie.

The Golfchick Chronicles are back
When I was on blogger, I had a feature called the “Golfchick Chronicles,” so people could read my entire blog starting with the very first post. Yep, people actually do it. Since I moved to this domain and my new host, I’ve had that feature disabled because it relies on permalinks within every post that [...]
