Annual Golf Ball Drop

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

As I was combing over news stories, I found a golf event at the Denison Country Club located in Texas. Every year the Denison Country Club hosts a charity where participants purchase golf balls. Once everyone who wants to participate has purchased a golf ball, the golf balls are taken in the air […]

Michelle Wie’s Disqualification

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

I know there has been quite a bit of controversy over the Michelle Wie insident with the mis-dropping of her ball. Here’s my two cents on the topic.

October 21st and Still Golfing

Friday, October 21st, 2005

I can’t believe it’s the end of October already. Nonetheless, it’s a beautiful day out and I’m going to play nine holes at Mee-quon. It is a little cold out at 47 degrees Fahrenheit, but the sun is out and the wind is calm. I have a good feeling this will be […]

Rain Check @ Hawthorne Hills Golf Course

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

I’m so excited today. I thought my rain check to Hawthorne Hills Golf Course was going to go to waste, but alas I’m using it today. I think this is the latest in the year I’ve ever gone golfing because it’s already getting so cold and getting dark so early. Anyway, the […]
