The definition of fun is completely different for each golfer. Some find hitting the ball a country mile their jam. Others like the delicate nature of a great short game. And others find the social aspect of playing golf to their liking. There really is no wrong answer except if you are not having a good time or feel frustrated the entire time you are on the links. If this is the case, it might be time to reevaluate the reason you spend 4 to 6 hours looping a golf course. For me it is very simple and my reason transcends all others.

Doing Golf Polls For Fun
I recently reintroduced golf polls on X (Twitter). I try to ask questions that will get some conversation going. Sometimes I am successful. Others, well not so much.

This time of year is always the worst and I do find it challenging to stay focused on upcoming golf season. Our long winter’s nap is almost over, but the days before I can get outside to swing my clubs seems to be dragging. This happens every year and I go through the same doldrums as in the past. Before suggesting I take a trip, that is not in the cards. So, I will dig deep, focus my attention on things I like to do and patiently wait for golf season to arrive at a snail’s pace.
As you can see, we still have a ways to go before I can dig out the clubs. The last 30 days is always the hardest.
In the meantime, I will remain grateful for the blessings in my life.
To remain positive, here is my golf thought for today:
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
Not Much Golf Happening
This is what I want:
I do not have much to say today. So I thought I would share a few pictures.
This is what I have:
There’s not much to say about this, except I hope everyone is doing well.
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
