A Little Crotch Pot Cooking

That's a famous line used by Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam.  It's so hot they're doing a little crotch pot cooking.  The reason I bring this up is because I am a little dismayed by the way some women sit in a cart with a skort on.  They sit as if they have on a pair of shorts.

Now is this a good look?  I don't think so.  So ladies, if you're doing this then you are basically flashing the world.  You're also letting everybody know what the inside of your thighs look like and at at a certain age, that is not a good thing.  Yes, I know it's cooler but really?  Take another look...On second thought, maybe not.

What Do You Expect?

Last month I played in a match play event that pitted me against a 7 handicap.  Ok, she had to give me 13 strokes.  One would think one could do something with that.  Well, one can always hope.  I lost 3/2.  I came home and my husband asked me how I played.  Not well I said.  He looked at me and cautiously said, now don't get mad at me for saying this but what did you expect?  You don't practice, you haven't played as much as you normally do and you don't take lessons.  I did not hit him with my putter.  I hate it when he is right...

Formats for Tournaments...Can You Ever Satisfy Everyone?

I have been in charge of many of our major tournaments over the years.  From our Member Guest, to our Member Member to our Solheim Cups. I know that's a sentence fragment but just go with it.  The women always accept the Solheim format which is 6 holes scramble, 6 holes best ball and 6 holes alternate shot.  But when it comes to a tournament like the M/G or M/M, whoa, does the bitching start.  I can see how the M/G format should be more player fun.  But for me, the M/M means it's a team event with big prizes and the TEAM should earn it,  My goodness you would think the world is coming to an end when I want to in some way count both players scores, even on a divided format.  Here's what we've tried:

Golfing Italy...Well, it Was an Experience

We just got back from an 8 day trip to Tuscany.  We went with another couple who had never been to Italy.  My husband and I have been all over the country.  We did it in batches and different ways.  We spent 8 days driving the lake country.  We've been to Rome and Tuscany and Florence.  And we've cruised all around the country on our favorite cruise line Windstar (http://www.windstarcruises.com/). From Venice to Malta, from Rome to Venice, from Rome to Rome.  This trip we stayed at a great little boutique hotel Villa Le Barone (http://www.villalebarone.com/) right smack dab in the middle of Chianti.

Top Golf...Fun for the Whole Family

I had heard about Top Golf on Bryant Gumbel's show Real Sports on HBO.  He featured this new business to showcase the drop in the number of people who play golf.  Yes, actually, the number of people playing golf has decreased over the last few years.  Gumbel was spotlighting Top Golf because Top Golf caters to everyone...the golfer and non-golfer.  How is that possible?

Songs About Strong Women

As I posted on my last blog, we are hosting a breast cancer charity golf tournament with the theme of Hear Me Roar.  Roar is a Katy Perry song.  What I'm going to do is put together a song list for my iPod with songs about strong women.  I asked my FB friends to email me with ideas for songs.  This is what we came up with:

Golf Tournaments to Support Breast Cancer Charities

I know that this has become a great way to support breast cancer charities.  I wrote about our efforts in an earlier blog: http://womanlovesgolf.blogspot.com/2013/02/think-pink-golf-tournaments.html

Here's an update.  This year's theme is based on the Katy Perry song, Roar!  Our theme is "HEAR ME ROAR!"  Our mascot is a pink tiger roaring loudly.  But the focus of the decorations will be butterflies.  It's based on these lyrics:  "Now I'm floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee..."  Strong but beautiful...At the awards luncheon I'm going to do a dramatic reading of the song and will have a Greek chorus to sing, well, the chorus.  I was a speech coach so I don't mind doing that. It should be fun.
