http://golfolicious.com In the hunt for BIRDIE :-) Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:15:32 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It hasn't really been unseasonably cold, but it still seems like spring is taking an awfully long time to get here! So it was nice to get out for 18 yesterday. I'd never played Sodus Bay before, either, so I took my camera along. It's a pretty course. There are views ... http://golfolicious.com/courses-ive-played/sodus-bay Best wishes to Tony Korologos (who also blogs at Hooked on Golf) for his success at creating the Internet's most active (& friendly!) golf networking space. Three years old now and going strong! Nice! http://golfolicious.com/for-fun/happy-birthday-golf-space I joined the EWGA (Executive Women's Golf Association) two years ago and it was one of the best things I ever did. I've met some great local women golfers. Members run a variety of leagues -- lots more chances to get out & play. And members can can compete in the EWGA ... http://golfolicious.com/rochester-new-york/roch-chapter-ewga-kick-off-sat-march-7 Late last year, I decided to put a little money into my other golf-related site to give myself a prettier (and more easily updatable!) interface. The site has been live now since late January, and I'm very happy with the results. So check it out and let me know what you ... http://golfolicious.com/women-and-golf/new-womens-golf-apparel-site-up Managed to sneak away for a long weekend in Florida, and golfed while there, of course :-) Unfortunately we got rained out after only nine holes during our first round at The Timacuan on Thursday afternoon. We did get to play a couple of really interesting holes, including number 2, where ... http://golfolicious.com/courses-ive-played/golf-interlude We played the last round of our trip at The Boulders Resort, where we also stayed. More about the resort here, at my other blog. This was another beautifully maintained course. Here's the putting green. The course winds all over the place. Holes are connected by concrete cart paths. It's a ... http://golfolicious.com/courses-ive-played/the-boulders-south-course The third day of our Arizona golf trip we played Rancho Manana, in Cave Creek, Arizona, and that's the day my game came together. I just felt so good standing over the ball! It was a breathtakingly beautiful course. Here's what it looks like when you pull into the parking ... http://golfolicious.com/courses-ive-played/rancho-manana-cave-creek The second course we played on our Arizona Golf trip this month was Longbow Golf Club in Mesa. My partner loved this course in particular. It was beautifully maintained, as you can tell from these pics. A very open, rolling course. Lots of small aircraft to watch between shots -- it's ... http://golfolicious.com/courses-ive-played/longbow-golf-club-mesa As I mentioned on my kirstenmortensen.com blog, I had the great pleasure of a short golf trip to Arizona earlier this month. I posted some trip pics there. Now for some pics of the courses we played :-) First up: Dove Valley Ranch in Cave Creek, a Robert Trent Jones II-designed ... http://golfolicious.com/courses-ive-played/dove-valley-ranch I picked up a copy of Putting Out of Your Mind by Bob Rotella a few days ago and I'm enjoying it. The mental side of the game is one of the main appeals for me. I've learned so much about composure and self-control over the years. Taking up golf a ... http://golfolicious.com/working-on-my-game/more-thoughts-on-the-mental-game
