Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Richard Helmstetter will stay with Callaway Golf Company acting as a primary consultant. Helmstetter has already given so much to the golfing scene — his Big Bertha — and hopefully, he’ll have many more inventions to come.
Reports have said Helmstetter will be working with Callaway for at least the next ten years.

Mee-quon Golf Course

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Last Friday, I went out with some friends to Mee-quon Golf Course located in Mequon, Wisconsin. It was my first time playing this course and I played horrible. Aside from shooting a 53, I only had a few decent shots. We played the back nine and only one of the holes […]

Golf Injuries

Friday, August 26th, 2005

I was just looking into golfing injuries people recieve after reading a post at Golf Blogger and found a story about a seven-year-old girl from Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.
Yesterday she was walking through a park with her sister and was hit in the head with a golf ball and today shes in the hospital after […]

A Closer Look At Fire Ridge

Friday, August 26th, 2005

I decided to post the course layout of Fire Ridge since its not to evident on the scorecard pictures I posted earlier. I believe 11 of the holes have a water hazzard.

The course has an excellent layout and tons of beautiful scenery — although you really can’t tell from the picture.
Here’s a picture of […]

Fire Ridge is Amazing!

Friday, August 26th, 2005

I went out with Wax today to use up our rain checks at Fire Ridge. I shot a 98, which is my best score at that course. I was hoping to put my scorecard up here, but I accidently left it in the cart — ugh. Wax finished just over 100. […]

Lotto Winner Purchases Golf Course

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

A man who had won the lottery a few years back just purchased a golf course in Naples for $1.4 million. He plans to keep the golf course on the land and throw up a restaurant as well.
To me, purchasing a golf course is a risky investment. Golf courses cost so much money […]

Fire Ridge and Mee-quon Golf Courses

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

I called Fire Ridge today to schedule another tee time since we got rained out last Thursday. We’re teeing off this Thursday at 8:15am. Hopefully the weather will stay nice so we can get in all 18 holes.
On Friday, I will be going to the Mee-quon golf course, located in Mequon Wisconsin, with […]

Golfing In The Rain

Thursday, August 18th, 2005

Today was an experience. I was so excited last night to go play 18 holes today to only have my excitement shattered by the weather radar. Rain. And lots of it. The rain seemed to be holding off so we decided to pay for the front nine. The other two […]

Tee Time: 9:00 am

Tuesday, August 16th, 2005

I just called and scheduled a tee time at Fire Ridge for 9:00 am this Thursday. I’m stoked to play there again hoping I’ll do better the second time around since I now know the course.
I went out today and purchased more balls and tees after Andrew and I hit the driving range. […]

River Island Park Golfing

Friday, August 12th, 2005

Andrew and I went out to River Island Park today. We were debating wether to play a small course or hit up the driving range. Well, obviously we decided to play the course.
I was pretty disappointed in how I played. I mean I did have a few decent shots, but for the […]
