For a romantic golf getaway – Check out Alderbrook in Washington State

After two weeks vacationing with the kids this summer, my golfguy and I wanted a getaway just for ourselves – somewhere where we could golf, but also enjoy being pampered with luxury accommodations, fine dining, and a spa – all on the water, of course. And as luck would have it, I received, out of the blue, an email promoting …

Private Golf Courses No Longer Off Limits

As a “public golfer” I occasionally get to play at private clubs where friends of mine have memberships, but most of the time, private country clubs and courses are off limits to me and my golfguy. It’s not that I don’t love public courses. There are a ton of them that are great – just look at Chambers Bay – …

I feel like it was just yesterday we were watching The Masters and talking about the legendary Bobby Jones, as we do every year when the azaleas are in bloom.

Wales offers much more than just the Ryder Cup in 2010

Wow! I just watched the Solheim Cup finale and I was in awe. I love watching match play – there is no more entertaining way to watch golf than players teeing off against each other – Mano-a-mano. It brought to mind the Ryder Cup, one year away, where the best of the best from Europe and the USA will face-off …

Michelle Wie – a Sure Thing for the Solheim Cup?

We all know, there are no guarantees in life. And…there are even fewer in golf. Certainly Michelle Wie learned that lesson the hard way, living in a world of unrealistic expectations, and dare I say, exploitation, by adults who were supposed to take care of her. But Michelle was not alone. Others paid dearly for jumping on the gravy train …

Links meet Luxury on Prince Edward Island

It’s not very often you find a links style course in Canada. So when I had the opportunity to play The Links at Crowbush in PEI, a sister course to Rodd Mill River, home of Big Break PEI, I jumped at the chance.

The hardest thing in golf is…

I was listening to Phil Mickelson yesterday at the Bridgestone talk about his up and down day (or should I say down and up day) and what he said really hit home personally. “I got out to a shaky start,” said Phil. “I didn’t commit to a lot of shots – I didn’t play aggressive – I didn’t make aggressive …

Golfing with the Gals for the Gals

There is nothing better than golfing on a great course…on a great day…with great golfgals… for a great cause. Of course, any day on a golf course is a great day, but there is something very special about playing golf with women who give back to other women and children in need. And for the past two years I have …
