Almost snowed out…

…but not quite. It is Monday October 31st, Halloween, today, which means we will be getting numerous trick-or-treaters ringing our door bell. Hopefully Paladin, our dog, will not scare them too much. The weather today is supposed to go up to the mid 60’s. Who would have figured that my weekend “golf ritual” almost got [...]

Golf Putting Practice Cup w/Electronic Scoring

Posted by alon in , at 8:50 pm | Permanent Link

Well I finally did it… It is official… I am officially addicted to golf. Sounds like a good thing right? I agree, it is a good thing. Besides the enjoyment of the game there are some additional benefits such as the exercise when you carry your own golf bag instead of using a cart or [...]

Almost Rained out

Posted by alon in at 8:48 pm | Permanent Link

Based upon the number of leaves in my yard, fall is here. Last year we took out some 100 bags of leaves from our yard. That was a back breaker. This year I thought to try something different (other than paying someone else to do it). What we did was I bought a bag for [...]

My First Bogey

Posted by alon in at 8:48 pm | Permanent Link

The weather cleared up enough for me and Dan to play on Sunday. We agreed to meet at the Lancaster Golf Center and play 9 holes. I’m glad Dan agreed to play there as it was a bit of a drive for him while it is less than a 10 minute drive for me. I [...]

Hoping to golf tomorrow

I got some hits off of the My Golf Buddy website. One was from Dan. I sent him a short message saying that I was new at the game and was looking for people to golf with that would not be annoyed at me holing them up. Dan responded back that he was interested, and [...]

Finding Golf Partners

Posted by alon in at 8:48 pm | Permanent Link

It seems that finding partners to play with can sometimes be a bit difficult (at least for me). I don’t know too many people who play golf, so I am looking for new golf partners. For the most part, I have been practicing on my own up until now, but that is not the same [...]

Congratulations to Michelle Wie

In an interview she said that she is planning to donate some $500,000 to Hurricane Katrina relief. How many of us are donating [...]

Definition of Golf

Posted by alon in at 8:46 pm | Permanent Link

Here’s a quickie…
A few of the guys at the university newsgroup heard I play golf. While most supported my hobby, one had a humerous definition of golf that I wanted to share with you:
“Golf - hit a little ball with a stick, chase it down, hit it again - repeat until you get it into [...]

My first 9 holes at The Lancaster Golf Center

Posted by alon in at 8:45 pm | Permanent Link

I posted an advertisement in Craig’s List for a golfing partner last week. No hits yet, but that does not mean I will not play. Being pregnant, my wife did not play, but she joined me for the day, keeping me company and helping me a little with my game. So at around 11 AM [...]
