Golf Green Blues
Yesterday was going to be the day my putting green was going to come to life. And you’ll never guess what happened… … it rained. Again. The bloody rain is driving me crazy! I thought this was meant to be the Sunshine Coast? And today wasn’t looking much better but Bruce and his team decided…
The strangest golfer I’ve met
I promise there is a golf lesson at the end of all this – just hang in there please. David is the strangest (in want of a better word) golfer I have encountered in my time doing this golf thing. He has sent emails and left the odd comment on the blog, has also purchased…
What my Dad taught me about playing golf
My Old Man is a terrible golfer and not someone who should be let near a golf course – he’s only played a handful of games and there’s nothing there that would suggest he’d trouble the scorers in a good way. In his professional life he was a system’s analyst – a really smart person…

The day I hit a golf shank
I was cruising and playing some of the best golf of my life. It was the 26th hole of a 36 hole competition – I shot two under in the morning round and was under the card for the afternoon. I knew I was leading when standing in the middle of the 8th fairway after…
Rain rain stay away – the golf green update
Bruce and Adam are back today to have a second crack at my putting green. The weather is threatening and Adam thinks he is wasting his time – I think he might be right. Bruce is an optimist, and reckons we’ll be just fine. I hinted the other day that I’m getting a synthetic green…
