Hello everyone. I just received an email from James Gregson of Hill and Knowlton in my On-Mark-IT inbox and I was rather surprised to receive it. However, I am happy he sent it as it told me something I didn’t know and introduced me to Julieta’s blog. I think this is so cool that she is going to post stories …

I am always amazed by stories like this. If you buy a house on a fault line, be prepared for eathquake damage. The same is true for golf courses – if you buy a house on a golf course, be prepared for balls to drop into your yard, through your windows or even into your oven (now that was wierd). …

This seems like “much to do about nothing” to me. Drug testing for athletes is common all over the world. If golfers want the game to be called a sport and themselves, athletes, then that comes with conditions (whether they are “needed” or not). What’s the big deal? As long as they don’t start saying that an antihistamine is a …

Hello everyone I know you are all talking about the US Open and how Tiger couldn’t buy a birdie to save his life on Sunday, but while you were all sitting in front of your HD TV’s, enjoying the game, I was out in the teeming raining telling myself “I love this game”. Charles and I had played on Saturday …

I just wanted to say a big “good luck” to young Richard Lee, a 16 year old from Vancouver who qualified for the US Open! Can you imagine shooting a 62 at 12 years of age??? I can, but that would be for 9 holes 🙂 Well, Richard, we’ll be following you at Oakmont and wishing you all the best! …

It’s sometimes hard to believe we’re not living in the dark ages. I have no problem with private clubs that are specfically for one gender, male or female, but to have a golf club (that is supposed to be “open” to both sexes) treat women as second class citizens….well…it’s just too pathetic for words. A similar situation occured here in …
