Just a really quick photo post on my weekend at Foxwoods Resort. (BTW, The job of Golf Girl staff photographer is open. Nick's been fired for excessive complaining and dereliction of duties).
On Saturday evening we met some friends and went to a Middle Eastern dinner and show. Here I'm with Zaina (left) and Nadine (right). I'm trying to convince them to take golf lessons.
There was a very entertaining floor show with several belly dancers. I love belly dancing and I think it's really good exercise for golf. In fact, I'm considering creating a golf fitness program based on belly dancing. Nick said it was a dumb idea.
One girl danced with a sparkly baton. I'd simply replace that with a sparkly long iron to keep the workout on-topic.
In addition to core strengthening and flexibility, belly dancing also provides an excellent aerobic benefit. This girl must have burned like... 2,000 calories.
On Sunday we played Lake of Isles. As you can see it's still quite wintery in CT, but it was beautiful and about 60 degrees. The course had just opened the previous day so there's quite a bit to be done on the course. Quite a bit to be done on my golf game too.
In keeping with the previous evening's Arabian theme I spent a lot of time in the sand traps.
In the end we had a fantastic time and I can't wait to play again. Hopefully I'll have a new staff photographer by then too. No, Nick, you can't have your job back.
Let's get those scores entered! What gives?
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my bolg!!! If you have time, Please come again!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely let me know when you come out with the belly dancing golf workout. That sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how winter-like Connecticut still is. I used to live in Clinton, but I had forgotten the extent of the long winters. Arizona will do that.
ReplyDeleteSo what does it take to be the golfbabe's photographer?
ReplyDeleteWell if you ever play up near Providence I would be happy to be your golf photographer, we usually play @ Triggs, Chemawa or Swansea all pretty decent courses!
ReplyDeleteNow Pat, you know I want the photographer job ;), but I don't think Nick is going give it up so quickly. . .
ReplyDeleteYour golf swing looks pretty good from the pic, nice extension and front leg flexed toward the ball - (or slightly in), can't really tell?
For all of you who want to put me out of business please note that you will have to pay dearly for my retirement . You cannot imagine the pain and suffering I have to go through...
ReplyDeleteRight Nick...pain and suffering. Is that why your begging for your job back?
ReplyDeleteReminder: standing invitation for you and Nick to come play at Stonington CC. Maybe next time you go to Lake of Isles, stay over at the casino, then play SCC next day or vice versa. Only a few minutes away. We open on the 15th. Would recommend waiting until the course dries up a little, though.
ReplyDeleteI think you might be onto something with the belly-dancing golf workout...
ReplyDeleteIf the yoga thing works...the belly dancing angle should work even better, especially with the focus on core strength...
You might want to rethink that dissenting opinion, Mr. Nick...
By the way, you NEED to get your two friends into golf...any course would be beautified by THAT threesome...
=)
One thing I've noticed about your photos. Not very green is New England is it! Not like Augusta but I suspect they use green dye or something.
ReplyDeleteCarry on. Thanks for the link.
Looks cold outside. Hot inside.
ReplyDeleteThanks
