I am playing golf at Seguin Valley Golf Club on Tuesday. I have never played this track, but it comes highly recommended by some of the players I met during the Senior Men’s Ryder Cup matches last week. I am going down on Monday to stay overnight in one of the cabins to enjoy the entire Seguin Valley experience.
Meeting People While Golfing
Ending on Wednesday past, I played in 5 golf tournaments in a week. I must say that it was the most competitive golf I played in quite some time. However, every match was a learning experience and the best part about all the golf was meeting some amazing people. Golf really is a contact sport!
I hope you have a fantastic Friday and that you get a chance to hit the links this weekend.
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

Because my golf season is short, I have to pack in as much as I can in order to quench my passion for the game. However, I think that my short season does hurt my game in the long run!

Playing Golf With Better Players
If you are reading this post, you were probably intrigued by the title of this article. As a 5 handicapper it is difficult to consistently play against players who are significantly better. As with Osprey Links, that is a challenge at most public courses. However, I think it is important that all golfers, regardless of your skill level, play golf with better golfers as much as possible. And that is exactly what I did last Saturday when I played my Match Play round against Brooks. Continue reading
