Atypical for the Grateful Golfer, I have not written for a while. With all going on in my life, I was less than motivated to write something. Well that changed tonight when I was checking my comments and Kevin (an avid reader and supporter of the Grateful Golfer) sent me something that brought back the writing juices and an interest in writing about golf. Thanks Kevin, I appreciate the support. So, keep reading and I hope this article brings a smile to your face! Continue reading
A Teaser Post!
I received something in the mail yesterday. After opening the package, I can say that I was immediately impressed by the contents.

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

Tossing the Ball on the Green
Putting and chipping are very personal skills in golf. I do not think any two players think, scrutinize or execute these shots in the same way. Over the years, I have used a simple drill that helped me judge the speed of the greens before I place a club in my hand. Within in 5 minutes, I have a very good understanding on how the ball will release, whether the greens are soft or hard, and if the greens are running true. Interested? Then keep reading.
