It is the time of year where many families want to share the love with their golfer. The intent is always a good thing because they want to acknowledge their loved one’s passion.

As I sit in my comfy chair sipping a coffee, I often think about my golf game. I wonder what I have to do to improve and more importantly, what I am willing to do. Most times, these two ideas do not jive and a hybrid solution needs to be developed in order to keep my golf game moving forward. This is always a slow time of the year for my golf game because I still have four months to wait before the courses open.

I love the Christmas season. The winter wonderland, the sharing of happiness and joy, and spending time with the special people in my life. Although there is no golf, I will take the time to enjoy some outdoor activities, visiting, and being grateful. For me, it is also the time to give back to the community and to share some of my good fortune by donating to charities, the food bank, and just smiling at those I might encounter. The spirit of Christmas is all around us and I for one am happy to embrace it.
As part of my holiday traditions, I watch the Little Drummer Boy and post it on my golf blog. It does not seem like much, but this video is one of my all time favorites and I like to share its joy with you the readers!
In case you did not notice, I love his mittens!
The Christmas season is a special time and I hope you take the opportunity to take the time and enjoy your family and friends.

This was a bit of a repost from previous years with a few minor changes; but worth the look.
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

Lee Trevino is a golfing legend. He understands the challenges of the short game and offers some advice on how to make more short putts. His sage offerings on ball position strike and interesting mental exercise as I try to envision how his advice will help. I talk about envisioning his teachings because we have a foot of snow on the ground and putting, except in my basement, is not going to happen anytime soon. Regardless, Trevino suggests something that might help chase the yips away.
