Making A Major Milestone At The Grateful Golfer Golf Blog

/ The Grateful Golfer / 8 Comments

It finally happened a few days ago. The Grateful Golfer golf blog reach the major milestone of 1 million visitors. This was an original goal I set from when first started writing back in May of 2012. As you know, this golf blog was set up to allow me to manage my critical life event (twice actually) and to expand my thoughts on a passion that is ever growing. I am not bragging, but highlighting my gratitude to all the readers who graced the musing of an amateur golfer trying to navigate the challenges on and off the golf course.

I want to thank everyone for allowing me to share a small part of your day and will rededicate my time to writing more about this amazing sport. I am blessed in many ways and reaching this amazing milestone helps fuel my desire to continue sharing my musings on a regular basis. Thanks again for all the support!

As your golf season starts to ramp up (for those of us in the northern climes) it will be time to set some goals moving forward. This is aways the first step for my golf season and I plan to follow the same successful path. Last year, I missed about eight weeks of my season due to medical challenges, but this year I am ready to take a full swing at improving my game. As I trundle down my path this year, I hope you will continue to stay with me and share in the trials and tribulations of my game.

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

/ The Grateful Golfer / 5 Comments

The Grateful Golfer was created in May of 2012. Wow almost 13 years of writing has given me time to think about the amount of joy I have gleaned from sharing my thoughts on golf. Sometimes my musing are informative and others…..well, thanks for putting up with my diatribes. With over 1.2 million views ant 800k visitors, I must be doing something right. This year will be my best yet and I am grateful for all the support from you the readers. Unfortunately, finding something to write about that is golf relate is a challenge. Especially since my golf season has ended and I have transitioned to coaching high school basketball. Regardless, I sit down everyday and amble through the golf topics trying to find something to share. Well, today I could not find anything specific to write about except this:

Finishing Strong In Golf

/ The Grateful Golfer / 2 Comments

This article is particularly difficult to write because I don’t have much inspiration lately. The weather is nice for this time of year, but there is no opportunity to play golf unless I set up my DIY driving net. My net is not going to be set up until after the holidays because I am still recovering from my Achilles Tendon and elbow injury. So, overall this is a lull time of year and finding a topic and being motivated to write about it is a challenge. Yet, as I ramble on, something did pop into my head, so here it goes.

The Grateful Golfer Blog – Is It Worth The Read?

/ The Grateful Golfer / 14 Comments

I often wonder if my daily musings are worth the effort. My original intent was to help me cope with serious health issues (twice) and after nine years of writing, this little golf blog has morphed into something else. I enjoy clacking away at the keyboard everyday because it brings me joy and I am grateful for all the visitors to The Grateful Golfer. ,Now, ongoing intent has expanded so that I provide the readers with fresh ideas on how they can improve their game and to read about the successes and challenges of playing golf regardless of one’s ability. Although I am enjoying punching out an article daily (currently sitting at 630 days in a row) I sometimes wonder if The Grateful Golfer is worth the read?

The Grateful Golfer Blog Exceeding All Expectations

/ The Grateful Golfer / 12 Comments

When 2020 exploded onto the scene, I had high hopes for what this year was going to bring! Who would have thought that the whole world would be affected by a global pandemic.

I was happy with the results and forecasted that I would receive the same numbers as the previous year; approximately 85,000 views with 50,000 visitors. Then something happened, in May (the same month that my home course of Osprey Links opened), The Grateful Golfer received a massive uptake in numbers!
