I want to write about golf. I have a huge list of topics and products I want to cover but weeks pass. Sometimes life gets in the way, you know? I know that’s no excuse to keep my readers hanging. I do. But I sit here and think of all the latest golf stories and look at my list of topics and products yet still can’t do it. Tonight I thought maybe I could just “phone in” something (heaven knows I’ve done it before – if you’re an astute reader you can probably name them) but I can’t even seem to do that right now so I thought I’d just tell you the honest truth.

My cursor just blinked at me for about ten minutes before I decided that I could share the fact that I am dealing with some difficult personal issues without disclosing the details. We all have difficult times. Some of us have blogs. Some of us have blogs in which we share every thought. Obviously this isn’t one of them. This is only a golf blog. While I know some of you have become invested in my personal life, I typically only share personal details as they relate to golf. I think I’ll keep it that way. But I want you to know that I’m still here, golf still means a lot to me, this golf blog still means a lot to me, it will continue with relevant content soon, and I appreciate all your support and readership.

Trust me, golf is still a huge part of my life and actually more so now than ever. If I’m lapsing on you now, I will more than make up for it in the future. I do have plans and your contributions have been invaluable. Personal difficulties aside, my plans are going forward and I thank you all for the feedback and ideas you brougt to the table.

I plan to resume my typical blog posting as soon as I’m emotionally capable. Since it’s been a few weeks and I was able to post this, perhaps it won’t be too much longer. If you’ve hung in there this long, thank you! And i’ll bring more golf stuff as soon as possible!

If you have a niche blog (meaning it doesn’t include personal drama) and you keep up with your topic while dealing with personal issues, I applaud and admire you. I wish I could.

The rest of you, I hope you’ll bear with me.

I love life. I love golf. I love blogging. And I’ll bring the golf blogging back soon.

Next post.
