St. Andrews is the mecca of golf and the Swilken Bridge is one of the most recognizable images of golf history. Although I have never visited St. Andrews, I had the opportunity to see a replica of the Swilken Bridge at Wildfire Golf Course! Continue reading

An Amazing Golf Shot
I really do not have much today. On days like these, I like to hit the range and practice. Possibly play a round of golf with some friends. During the summer, just playing golf for fun helps to get my writing juices flowing. It is not a bad thing, just something needed every once in a while.
I hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday. If you cannot hit the links, here is something that will make you smile!
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
The Magic of One Shot in Golf
Happy Monday!
There are many great moments in golf. Each of us have fantastic memories that we can recount in minute detail. Personally, I have many great shots I can happily outline in every detail if asked. These special shots are mine alone and have great meaning to me. They form the bases to my positive approach to golf.
We have all played a round when nothing seemed to go well or everything was going awesome. Then suddenly, one shot changed the fortune of our round. It is not anything we can explain, but happens to everyone.
Golfing My Best Back 9 of 2016
Yesterday was a great day! I headed to the course to get in a quick round, but that was not the case. The course was full and I had to wait my turn like everyone else! Not to be deterred, I asked to go out the back as no one was walking down the 9th or 8th fairway; normally, I do not jump in, but the back was open and front was very slow. The starter let me go, so off I went.
As I started off number 10, I decided to focus on what I was practicing. I had nothing to lose and besides if I was going to practice things, I might as well use them in my game. I have used many of my newer techniques, but I have not used them with focused intent! Yesterday was the day! Continue reading
Salt Creek Golf Links Course Review
I hit Salt Creek Golf Links yesterday with mixed results. We did not know what to expect and arrived with an open mind and a positive outlook. The sun was shining, the company was great and we were not working. How can things be bad, right!
We arrived early and were ready to play. My friend went into the Pro Shop as he booked Salt Creek on-line. Upon his arrival, he was dutifully informed that the front nine was closed because they were punching the greens. It was not a planned maintenance project, but it is what it is. The person working the desk said that front nine might be open at noon or we could play the back nine twice. As a token for our inconvenience, she gave my friend a pass for nine holes some other time. So we decided to play the back nine twice.
