Early bird golf is great fun. It provides an opportunity to be one with nature, think about your game, and enjoy the awesome surroundings as the sun peaks over the trees. It is my favorite time of the day to play and is the worth effort to get up early. There is something else that many players overlook and should actually be part of their early bird routine if they get a chance. Continue reading

Early Bird Golf Rules the Day
Golfing at any time brings most golfers great happiness. It is an opportunity to walk and relish in the beauty of nature. This is true for me not matter when or where I am golfing.

Tranquility on the Golf Course
Tranquility is priceless on the golf course! Yesterday, I talked about playing solo on the golf course and remaining in the moment for the entire round! I am happy to announce that this mission was accomplished. What a fantastic time on the links!
I started my round at 5:45 am (finished in 2 hours and 25 minutes) with a large coffee in hand. As I pulled up to the golf course, I was the only car in the parking lot. The only sounds I was hearing were the beautiful melody of the birds. Unfortunately, I disrupted the calm, only briefly, to prepare for a journey down tranquility lane! My initial feeling of calm was very therapeutic. Continue reading
Golfing Solo on the Golf Course

A few years back, I played many solo early bird rounds and enjoyed walking the course in solitude. Today should be no different! Continue reading
Golfing for Fun
Golf is supposed to be fun! It is a sport where the concept is to hit a little white ball with odd-shaped sticks into a very small hole! How can golf not be fun! Everyday, whether I am practicing or playing, I remind myself that no matter what happens golf is always meant to be fun and enjoyable; if your golf game is not fun, then what is the point of playing?
I am not going to rant about the things that are not fun, but instead, I made a list of things I enjoy about golf. Things that make me happy that I am on the links. For some this list will not even spark a hint of recognition, but for others, they will embrace what I am thinking and can easily add to the list. So you if you are not into having fun with golf, I suggest you stop reading. If your interest is peaked, then please read on! Continue reading
