As the trees change colour and temperatures start to drop, it is time to make a change in my golf game. It is a yearly event that I look forward too because it offers me an increased in freedom of movement when looping the course. Yes, you guessed it, it is time to change from my push cart to my carry bag. Even though I am getting a bit older, I still enjoy carrying my clubs. As a matter of fact, I prefer to carry my clubs and always have! Continue reading
Customer Service at Seguin Valley Golf Club
Jim and Blair at Seguin Valley Golf Club
Recently, I was invited to play a round of golf by Darwin Howard at the Seguin Valley Golf Club. Darwin offered the full Seguin Valley experience and my friend Blair and I decided to take him up on his generous offer. The trip consisted of 1 nights accommodation, supper, breakfast and a round of golf! After figuring out the final logistics, Blair and I headed out to Parry Sound in the pouring rain on Monday. We were excited to play Seguin Valley on Tuesday, but we really did not know what expect; I can assure you, we were not disappointed! Continue reading
What Was Your Last Golf Injury
I have been thinking about golf injuries lately. My biggest issue this year is / was my lower back. From time to time this year, I found it very difficult to bend over.

I did a bit of research according to the Golf Channel, back pain is the most common injury. Go figure!
And Now What?
I thought my big run of playing golf was over until I remembered that I have a 54 hole event coming up in 3 weeks. I have played in this event for years and I am looking forward to it again. It will be my last big event before the end of the season as things will start to wind down because fall is upon us. Having just returned for a quick golf trip (articles to follow) I have about 10 days to prepare. Continue reading
Does Playing in a Scramble Tournament Help Your Game
Last week, I had a stretch of 5 tournaments in 7 days. I played in 2 scrambles, 1 stroke play, 1 match play, and 1 scramble/match play formatted events. They were great fun and I really enjoyed meeting so many new golfers. Golf is a contact sport and I certainly achieved that last week. I do want to add that I have never played in this many competitions in such a short time and hopefully I can do it again in the future. However, I did notice that my game was not as sharp during the scramble events as the match play and stroke events and I think I know why!
