Valentine’s Day is special. It reminds most of us that expressing our love to that special someone is important. I have been married for almost 38 years to the most kind, loving, and understanding woman. I thank my blessings everyday that she ins in my life. I love my wife, Teri, to the moon and back!
One of the many blessings I have received in my life is the support my darling freely gives me to pursue my golf passion. She understands how golf influences my life and how it makes me feel. Hence she encourages me to play and practice. Teri is my rock and foundation on and off the golf course.
I am confident there were times I did not recognize the contribution my darling made to my golf game. She was patient and understanding when I took the time to practice and play. For this I am ever grateful.
Valentine’s Day is a special time that reminds people to express their love to each other. In my case, I try to express my love to Teri on a daily basis; it is what we do. It is not hard because she is the center of my universe. I hope everyone has a great day and if you are on the golf course, have fun and play well.
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

Over the years, I notice many of my playing partners hold the golf club in a death grip. Their fear, as I asked them, is they are afraid the club will fly out of their hands. I further asked if this had ever happened and their immediate response was no. With such a quick answer, I often wonder why they felt they needed to strangle their hold on the golf club. Gripping our golf club with the correct amount of pressure is important for executing a perfect golf swing.
