My Top 5 Rules of Golf That Are Not Rules

As 2017 comes the lists will be flying. If you can think of a topic, then a list will be created. I thought I would get my golf list in before you are inundated with white noise. The list I am presenting is not pet peeves or complaints, but unwritten rules I follow to make my round of golf pleasurable. They would follow into the category of etiquette in some cases, but I think you will get the gist. They work for me and I think they will work for you, so grab a coffee, sit in a comfy chair, and enjoy! Continue reading

It is a New Record!

Today I set a new record on the golf course.  The sun was shining, the birds were singing, I saw a cool turtle and I golfed with some great friends.  As the day unfolded, we teed off at 6 am and cruised around the course.  The mosquito population seemed to dwindle over night and the wind was cool and refreshing!  Does this not sound like an awesome day on the course!  I am so grateful to have decided to hit the links this morning!.

I guess you are wondering about my new record?  Yup, you guessed it, I fixed 45 ball marks today and 15 divots.  I realize that many players have bad backs and cannot bend over to fix or replace damage to the course, so I decided to help them out today….ok I will stop.

Making a Divot

But seriously, golf is a fantastic game.  We all love to see a ball land and hold on a green from 125 yards.  Usually, such a shot makes a divot and a ball mark.  It is important that all golfers take pride in themselves and the course they are playing by repairing their own blemishes.  I generally try to fix mine and another ball mark on the green.  It keeps the course in great shape all summer and helps the maintenance crew keep the course lush and enjoyable for everyone.

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