I am Back at Osprey Links Golf Course

/ The Grateful Golfer / 6 Comments

Yesterday, I played Osprey Links Golf Course for the second time in 3 years! It was my home course for 4 years from 2009 – 2013 until I moved for work. Now that I am back in the area, it is an easy decision to return to my old stomping grounds.

Before you think that this was a no brainer, it is important to understand that I did not make the decision to become a member because it is comfortable or easy. I actually, gave it a great deal of thought and decided that Osprey Links was the course for me. However, that is a discussion for another day! Continue reading →

Golfing for Fun

/ The Grateful Golfer / 6 Comments

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 →

Clowning around on April Fools Day

Happy April Fools Day! As many of you know, it is a day to pull pranks and jokes on each other for the “fun” of it. Over the years, I experienced my share of jokes and looking back some were very funny. The origins of April Fools Day is a bit murky, however the intent to for some light-hearted laughter between friends.

Over the years, I was the recipient of  pranks on the golf course. They did not occur on April Fools Day, but they made for some laughter between friends for sure. I am not sure of your tolerance level of pranks of the golf course, but I do not mind the occasional prank to lighten the round. Continue reading →

In or Out?

A couple of days ago, I asked if you thought Mike C’s putt would go in or out! In case you forgot, here is the picture!

In or Out

Well congratulations to Vet and Josh for calling it. Mike C left it pin high on the left! It was quite close, but we decided he choked, but he thought he was robbed!

Frog 2 golf balls

Not the real picture, but Mike C missed on his left. The frog is just for fun!

Thanks to everyone for playing!

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

The Duck Update!

For those that are wondering, The Duck has moved to Belgium! Attached to the hip of my buddy Kirk, it must go where he goes. As I was talking to Kirk yesterday, he showed The Duck sitting proudly on a table in his new house.

I miss The Duck (ok not really) and wish it fun travels throughout Europe! I am looking forward to another match and sending that little yellow treasure packing to where ever its travels will take it.

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