I believe your Dad said it was today. Now you're a teenager--go scare the heck out of your parents.

Happy birthday!

We made a tee time at Pok-Ta-Pok based solely on proximity. Well, it was a slice. It's the first time I've ever seen fairways that were principally crabgrass. Lots of ground under repair, but at least it was marked. Lots of greens crews who never bothered to move out of our way. Lots of...

Hubby and I celebrated our anniversary by playing this course. It's a Jack Nicklaus course, all of 16 months old, and is supposed to be the hot course in Cancun. Sixteen months old--that alone should tell you something. It means it got underway during the last boom and came online just as...

Did I miss a thread on these? I searched but couldn't find one. Anyway, I saw these in the pro shop this morning and absolutely fell in love. This would go fabulous with the zebra print belt Diane gave me. These look incredible in person. Sadly, I didn't have time to try them all on...

Wow. Just Wow. Kinda makes your own issues seem picayune, doesn't it? Kudos to Ricey for pointing me at this.

Those of us in the frozen north can't wait for golf season to start. Reading about our friends further south, and about the Florida golf outing, is just making it worse. Sometimes when the beginning of the season is just weeks, not months, away it's that much harder not to have it. So--what...

My first baby is 12 today. He towers over me and has a wicked sense of humor. We celebrated by going to the orthopede for his wrist. The Kid continues to refuse to play golf, but we keep hoping.

My favorite retailers (I won't name names, for fear of creating spam) is running a contest for customers to submit their worst Valentine's Day present ever. Winner gets a trip to New York & a shopping spree. I loathe the day myself and rarely am on the receving end of Valentine's Day gifts...

Diane was kind enough to have belts custom made for Boo Girl and me. She picked green for Boo and this great zebra print for me. The Kid took the photos of us modeling the belts; Boo Girl took the ones on the floor (it's hard to see the pattern in her belt--it's sort of paisley, made up of...

I am so there! This is the course that convinced me to volunteer. Far better to be inside the ropes at this one. Off to register as a walking scorer... .

Here's this year's schedule. These are always great fun, if only because a vendor pays my admission. Doodles, any chance you'll be on staff for the one in March, at Stonebriar?

Okay, so I had my swing analysis at GolfTec yesterday, and it was ugly. I won't get into that, other than to say that ratios, angles, and drawing lines on computer images appeals to my left-brained self. I have a lot of work to do. Random observations: Boy, what you feel your body do and...

Last year was pretty incredible for the LPGA rookies. Michelle Wie got the early headlines, but anyone who was paying attention shouldn't have been surprised at Jiyah Shin's stellar performance. The only surrprise (for me) is that Stacy Lewis didn't have a better showing. This year doesn't...

It's lengthy; here's the link: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704130904574644202781104302.html I'm surprised they don't link the website.
