Results Are In
Thank you for participating in the last two Golf Chick polls and making your voices heard. I think the results are interesting, and not quite what I expected.

LPGA Reminds Wie That She’s a Sideshow
After failing to sign her scorecard on Friday, Michelle Wie was disqualified from the State Farm Classic. Only the LPGA failed to tell her about it until she had completed her round the following day. After an imaginary journalist asked her how she felt about being used by the LPGA for the attention she brings [...]

Don’t Let This Happen To You
I witnessed this tragedy during a recent round and just had to snap some photos. The man decided to take off his shoes and socks to stand in the water and play his ball from the edge of the hazard. His shot was actually decent and it I’m sure it saved him at least a [...]

Mad About Golf Caps
I have tons of baseball caps and and a handful of visors. When I play golf, I always wear one to help keep my hair out of my face as well as for sun protection. I also like having a handy ball marker on the bill. I collect caps from different golf courses around the [...]

Big Plans, Please Help
Oh, do I have plans. Okay, well they’re not exactly “plans” at this point as much as ideas. But oh man, do I have ideas, and they’re working into plans. Granted, I do that a lot, but I honestly think this time I’ll find the magical mixture to make me bring them to fruition – [...]

How to Cure a Slice
I’d write a book but it’s just too simple. I had this epiphany on the range awhile back. Many golfers probably know this and it’s just too bleepin’ basic, but I think we all forget it from time to time. Have problems with a slice or just pushing the ball to the right? Here’s the [...]

Thoughts on Twitter
Twitter is a relatively new craze that seems to be sweeping the online world. Many of my golf blogging buddies are using Twitter, but I was slow to get on the bandwagon. I wasn’t sure why except for maybe it was just something else to follow and take up precious time and thought energy. Promotion [...]

Doing My Duty, Passing Golf Courses
Today I am fulfilling my civic duty in response to a jury summons. You probably know what this means: a lot of waiting around to either never get called for a panel or get called and dismissed. Either way, it’s a lot of waiting around. I’m actually managing to get a lot done today since [...]

Where Are Golf Digest and Golf World In All This?
Knock knock… yoohoo… Golf Digest… Golf World… over here. There are hundreds of thousands of golfers just getting word that their favorite golf magazine is ceasing publication.

Golf For Women Closing Up Shop
Sad news today – after 20 years, Golf For Women Magazine is closing. The July/August issue is its last. My editor from their website still isn’t sure what’s going to happen with their online presence so there could still be some life there.
