You have probably encountered people who work at golf courses who don’t know the first thing about golf. Do you care?

A Blasphemous Look at The Masters
Forgive me, but I enjoy watching The Masters. When most people think of watching a program as a guilty pleasure, they think American Idol or Dancing with the Stars. For me, it’s The Masters.

No bogeys, no yips? Just zombies and drips.
I think we can all agree it would be amazing to play a round of golf with our favorite professional. They might even relax a little and have a fun, light-hearted round.

Pro golf in the Caribbean
Here’s a phrase I don’t use every day: I’m really excited to watch the Champions Tour this weekend. Why? They’re playing at my happy place, Punta Espada Golf Course at Cap Cana. I absolutely LOVE this golf course and seeing it in play by the seniors is going to be wonderful. If watching it on [...]

Why don’t the men promote their sexiness?
Whether you like it, hate it, or feel indifferent, many professional female golfers promote their sexiness on their respective tours. And the LPGA certainly doesn’t seem to discourage it.
