Admittedly, I don't read too many non-golf blogs. It's a time issue, mostly. One I do like to read is Shakesville . While its success and readership dwarfs that of this humble blog, I only discov...

Sports writers and golf bloggers are covering the U.S. Open and Oakmont Country Club with the same fervor of CNN covering Paris Hilton. No detail left unreported. Of course the difference is spo...

Well, here is a case of a golf blogger popping up and then quickly disappearing. Usually, I like to wait until a new golf blogger has been around for a little while and looks like they're going t...

Exactly what does it mean to be non-competitive? Well, the LPGA has put a number on it: 88. If a non-member shoots an 88 or higher in an LPGA tournament, she is banned from LPGA events for the r...

I wrote about Women's Golf Week in my Worldgolf column this month. Also, check out the Play Golf America site for more information. I suppose that's a better name than Golf chick's week, but ...

I'm also giving new meaning to the term "bag lady." I guess when a girl obsessed with handbags develops an obsession with golf, it's only natural that she will start to collect golf bags. Awhile...

I'm channeling Kess today so I went into her inbox and found this old question that she never got the chance to answer. So, in her first column since her passing, the ghost of the Goose takes thi...

It's rattlesnake season again, so be careful out there! If you're daring (or stupid) enough to go into the brush looking for your golf ball, at least take a club with you and make lots of nois...

The Armchair Golfer has a new gig. The people over at The Most Valuable Network have wisely chosen Neil (evidently that's his name) to write their golf blog, "Down the Middle ." He has been bl...

Mom needs some golf clubs! My mom has only played golf a few times but she really enjoys getting out on the course with me and swatting the ball around. The last time we played, I was impressed ...

Well, it's that time of month again. No, not the time when I get all cranky and roll around in chocolate - my latest column is up at Worldgolf. Since their disaster of a new site design isn't jus...

Saw this darling bird on Letterman tonight and had to share. He three putted on the show but he didn't let it get to him. I wish I had his skills! AJ the parakeet can also dunk a basketball, do ...

Last week I posted Part One of the Geoff Shackelford interview in which we discussed his golf game and some thoughts on golf course architecture. As promised, here is the rest of the interview...

I often find myself saying - either aloud or in my head - "What is WRONG with people?" Sometimes it's for more serious actions, but I also use it for the stupid little things people do. Like lea...

For awhile now I've been thinking about trying some graphite shafted irons as part of my experimentation. I know a lot of women use them but I've been a steel shaft girl from the beginning. While...

The contents of my bag have been changing lately. Of course, the bag itself has been as well, but I'll talk about that in a future post. I'm also not talking about the crushed chips & crackers, t...

These Guys are Good Pretty Good Better than You. Whether it's all part of the hoax or not, Tiger Woods looked almost human at The Masters. In fact, Augusta National Golf Club made a bunch of p...

I mentioned in my last post the grip I received from Scott at Time Fore Tee (also www.tartangolfgrips.com ). I just installed it on my putter and it looks great! I'm psyched to use it in my roun...
