Does your golf course have a “get rid of the geese” plan? Osprey Links is a wonderful location for Canada Geese because of the wide open area and plenty of water. Unfortunately, they are a nuisance, but Ellie is to the rescue. She is a beautiful pup who is full of energy and love for all the patrons. Ellie is a welcomed member of the team and I look forward to watching her run around the course keeping the geese at bay. Continue reading

Keeping A Streak of Birdies Alive
Hitting to the 12th green over some friends.
My fun on the course increases exponentially depending on the number of birdies I shoot during a round. I expect to shoot at least 1 birdie and on most days 2. But there are those special days where I score more than 2 and my score usually reflects my good fortune.

Although expect to shoot birdies, even those rounds exceeded my expectations. Additionally over the years, I have shot 3 and 4 birdies in on round many of times. But, only twice have I shot 4 birdies in a row! What a thrill! Continue reading

There is merit to this logic, however the long game is not only about hitting your driver or 3 wood; it is about you mid to long irons that are hit as often as the woods. The mid to long irons are most ignored clubs in golf and warrant some attention. Continue reading
It is Never to Late for a Hole-in-One!
Atypical for the Grateful Golfer, I have not written for a while. With all going on in my life, I was less than motivated to write something. Well that changed tonight when I was checking my comments and Kevin (an avid reader and supporter of the Grateful Golfer) sent me something that brought back the writing juices and an interest in writing about golf. Thanks Kevin, I appreciate the support. So, keep reading and I hope this article brings a smile to your face! Continue reading
A Teaser Post!
I received something in the mail yesterday. After opening the package, I can say that I was immediately impressed by the contents. I will make the big reveal on Monday night or Tuesday (depends on if I can write it in time). I am not going to tell you what was in the package, but after I write the article you will “clearly see” what I am talking about!
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
