Star Valley Ranch Golf
I just finished playing Cedar Creek in Star Valley Ranch in Thayne, WY. Beautiful. I’ll give more details later as I’m blogging from my GooseBerry now. I am about to head back up the Grey’s River above Alpine, where about 35 or 40 of my family members have taken over a great lodge. Big party [...]

Things I Have in Common with Michelle Wie
There aren’t many, I admit, but there are a few. I also admit that while I’m glad for many of the things we don’t have in common, I sure wish I had her potential in golf. That said, here’s what we do share: Skipped a lot of school (wish mine had been for golf) Enjoy [...]

Road Trip Update
We’re almost there. It has been a leisurely drive and we’re taking our time. We also have company in our convoy but I still can’t release details since the surprise hasn’t happened yet. We have seen many golf courses and Greg may go play a little nine-holer across the street from where we’re staying in [...]

Road Trip!
Would anyone in their right mind take a 2000 mile road trip instead of flying these days? Dunno – you’d have to ask someone in their right mind. Despite the insane fuel prices, we’re going on a road trip tomorrow. Of course we have to take Vito with us, and he’s nowhere near ready for [...]

Great golf course closing soon – play now!
There are a couple of weekends left to get your round(s) in at a terrific golf course. I’ve written about Primm Valley Golf Club before and I absolutely love both of its 18-hole courses. There are two golf courses on the property – the Lakes and the Desert. They’re amazingly different from each other so [...]

Looking and feeling good on the golf course
Fashion? On The Golf Chick? That’s right, I do care. In my latest post over at Golf For Women, I talk about the importance of feeling good on the golf course, which includes looking good. Any ounce of confidence you can add to your game can help lower your score, so why wouldn’t I care? [...]

Tiger Woods out for the Season, PGA stock plummets
Tiger’s taking his ball (and US Open trophy) and going home. For the rest of the year. Stress fractures of the tibia, a torn ligament, and his upcoming ACL surgery have the world’s number one hobbling away with his winnings to recover for the rest of the year. I hope he has a good disability [...]

Now that’s entertainment! (and other US Open thoughts)
If you missed the US Open, you missed some of the best golf ever televised. It was incredible. Almost literally. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought it was rigged to script the drama. I guess it’s conceivable that Tiger could aim for an adjacent hole’s bunker knowing he could execute the amazing [...]

Johnny Miller “gems” from the US Open
I’m told he’s not mentally disabled, so I guess Johnny Miller is fair game. With all the incredible action yesterday, it was irritating to have to listen to his nonsense. Rather than muting the telecast, I decided to document some of his gems. Some are listed by readers in this previous post, but here are [...]

Annika v. Lorena: The Rematch
Also known as The Greater Sinaloa Open 2: Electric Boogaloo Well, I took Lorennika Sorenchoa back to the local dogrun to give Annika a rematch. The course wasn’t too busy but we didn’t have it all to ourselves. I caught up to a family on the third hole and the little kids were adorable to [...]
