Isn’t it precious?

Bogey Man over at Bogey Lounge named this little old blog the Site of the Day recently and created this adorable image to go with it. I love it!

Thanks again, Bogey!

Flogging

If web logs are called “blogs” for short, web golf logs should be called “flogs.” It’s all making sense now. When I first started this site, I called it a glog for golf log. Flogging is much more appropriate. If you don’t already get my drift, here’s how Webster’s defines flogging:

flog ( P ) Pronunciation Key (flg, flôg)
tr.v. flogged, flog·ging, flogs

  1. To beat severely with a whip or rod.
  2. Informal. To publicize aggressively: flogging a new book.

It seems like more and more “blogs” are popping up that fall under definition #2’s category, however loosely. However, there are still the old fashioned types who prefer the self-inflicted punishment experienced either on the course or by writing a public diary for others to share in the glory or misery. And let’s not forget the comment posters who flog the flogger. Oh, and the comments to the comment posters, esentially flogging the flogger of the original flog’s flogger. I’m exhausting myself. Please forgive me. I just tied my boyfriend for the first time in an 18 hole round at Moorpark CC and celebrated with a couple margaritas at Chuy’s.

Don’t drink and flog.

My Goose Came Back

What is the old saying? If you love something, set it free, and if it comes back… yadda yadda yadda…

I GOT MY GOOSE BACK!

My “goose” is my 5-wood (I’ll explain some day). I have mentioned that I had lost my wood swing lately and thought it might be due to the rather nifty development of my iron swing and that I knew I’d get it back at some point. I got it back during the practice round before the Tournament of Club Champions! I was so excited to hit those long second shots again. I really look forward to developing that swing and working those golf clubs so I can get the length and consistency I know they (and I) are capable of achieving.

Not Just “Stitious”

Since winning my club championship, I haven’t written much here and for that, I apologize to all three of my readers. I have my reasons, though. Maybe I was caught up with other priorities (gasp!). Maybe I also lacked inspiration. More importantly, whatever I did on a course or the range, whatever thoughts I had about golf, I didn’t want to post it for fear of “jinxing” my performance at the Tournament of Club Champions on December 5.

It’s true: I’m not just stitious, I’m superstitious! (That’s actually a phrase I made up to describe my actions at Angel games e.g. using a certain stall in the restroom, only purchasing beer and peanuts from certain vendors. And yes, I believe in the power of the Rally Monkey. Actually, I believe in the power of the energy the Rally Monkey generates, but let’s not get too technical.) Anyway, now that the jig is up, so to speak, I’m free to post, provided the inspiration comes and priorities allow. I’ll be posting about my experience at that tournament soon. Thank you for your patience.
