That's it. No mention of scores or handicaps yet, you'll notice, I'm not quite there yet. Just some general plans. Make any sense?

ReplyDeleteGoals or plans? If you want to get better at playing golf, you should think about setting some goals, girl! :)
But those sound like some great plans, especially the travel ones. Have fun with it.

You're totally right Kristen, they're plans, and thus amended. I might consider setting some concrete goals one of these days, I'm just not quite there yet. Oh well.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like the idea of plans better anyway. I just wish I could make some exotic foreign country plans like yours. I look forward to living vicariously through you by reading about your adventures. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteRe your out of state travel plans through April:
ReplyDeleteIf you are a baseball fan, you might want to consider taking a trip to Arizona in March to:
* Soak up the springtime sun
* Enjoy the smell of the citrus trees in bloom (usually)
* Enjoy a leisurely baseball game (have a beer or three and enjoy an indulgent baseball-snack of your choice)
* Play as many of the AWESOME Phoenix/Tucson area golf courses that you can( JW Marriott Starr resort in Tucson fits that description to a tee, pun intended)
* Retire to your hotel/spa for an evening of indulgence, margaritas, martini's or your choice of adult beverage.
*We did that last Spring, and with the exception of the FREAK RAIN/HAILSTORM that had our round at JW Marriott Starr resort resembling the scene in Caddyshack where the Bishop gets NAILED by lightning and Bill Murray gets SOAKED, it's a taste of the PRIME GOLF LIFE, and a FUN, FUN weekend....
Food for thought...
Alternatively, if you want to head FURTHER West to California, "The GolfChick" and I can arm-wrestle to give you a short (or long) list of all the GREAT golf that we have here in Southern and Central California, too...either way, you CAN'T lose!!!
Oh, I forgot, I TRIED the "carpet putting" and it's useless on a hi-lo cut pile carpet...unless you want to practice for Sherwood Country Club or Sand Hills, where the greens break just because, from undulations that are impossible to discern without laser telemetry...
ReplyDeleteThe new hardwood laminate floor is NOISIER, but the putt rolls truer...I'm also finding that I REALLY like my new Yes! putter...there DOES seem to be something about those concentric C-grooves on the putter face...
Nice goals Patricia!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a specific, golf tailored workout in mind for the days at the gym?
I need to make a point of getting to the range more often myself. Though the past few days here in NJ have been pretty cold. I hear 60s are in the forecast for this weekend...!!! So a round may be in order!
Iran would probably not be a good idea at this time, especiallyfor a woman. Same might be true for Dubai but maybe they're more progressive there. Golf in France would be nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Nick has a contact that can get you into Mission Hills. . .
ReplyDeleteVery Nice course, You may see Ernie Els there???
So if you don't post the FM pic today at least post another weekend fun pic.
:-)!
Regarding the carpet putting, I tried the huge traditional Persian in our entrance hall it it seemed to work really well. Never thought of wood or laminate but will try it. Thanks for AZ info will let you know if I decide to go further west.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to work with a golf fitness trainer for a couple of sessions and see what that's like. Will let you know how it goes. Definitely playing this weekend Sean, hope you get to as well.
Mission Hills is a possibility, especially given the pos of an Ernie sighting. FM soon, WE fun later today.
You should really think of getting a handicap before you go to Iran. That's if you want them to take you seriously. :)
ReplyDeletehaving to golf in a chador should be enough of a handicap
