1) Thursday was my birthday and all the celebrating distracted me.
2) Golf Girl zipped off to Vegas without me and I was... irked.
3) I was diligently working on a multitude of admin projects and just didn't have a minute for the Thursday post.
Anyway, it's a combination of the above and I figured I'd catch up today.
Here in CT the weather is gorgeous for golf right now, and the fall folliage provides a backdrop of orange, gold and crimson. It's lovely, but I'm having more and more trouble finding my golf balls... particularly after swings that sent them flying into the woods. The fallen leaves are now ankle-deep and they seem to see golf balls as their prey to devour. This is where my recycled balls come in handy.
As an arch-beginner in the game of golf, everything is fascinating to me, so when GolfGirl suggested I create our weekly list of notable links (which BTW we haven't done in a couple of weeks) I had a lot of trouble narrowing it down... but here's what I came up with:
You probably know John Raser from all the great social media initiatives he's undertaken. He's got a great new contest going on now with 59Golf.
24 year old Korean golfer, Kyung-Tae Kim, is the Japan Open champion after a stunning final round of 64 saw him win the event by two shots.
The top five women golfers in the world will battle it out in Asia this week at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia. They'll be fighting for World Number One among other things.
After her maiden LPGA win Beatriz Recari is looking towards the 2011 Solheim Cup.
... I may sneak a few more in later today. Catch you later.

ReplyDeleteBelated happy birthday golf girl jr!!!!!! I asked in one post when it was and you never answered. I feel bad I am late with this. Ok- to feel old I am guessing you were what?? 22 or somewhat younger than that?? On Sunday, I'll be three times that!! GOOD GRIEF!!! I need a nap. ;)
ReplyDeleteSeriously- I hope you have many , many, many more!! I'm sure you will!!
What kind of cake is that Junior? Looks like a lot of frosting to me. Hope you had a happy. ;)
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday Golf Girl Junior. You definitely have to insist that Golf Girl take you on her next Vegas trip, you'd love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much everyone for the birthday greetings!
ReplyDeleteAnd Frank, I sent you an email today...now that I've finally caught up with the masses of work GolfGirl left for me. Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness :)

Junior, your cake is competing with your cleavage. ;)
ReplyDelete23 What a great age that is. Enjoy every minute, it passes very quickly.
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of Rickie!
ReplyDeleteYes. You would enjoy a trip to Vegas. You should check out the two casinos just "up the block" from you. They are two of the biggest on the planet still.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun. I was just at Foxwoods Satur. I have lots of funny casino jokes for you. Did you hear about the guy who drove out to Vegas in his 100 thous $$ Mercedes and did so well he came home in a 200 thous $$ Greyhound bus?? :)

ReplyDeleteanon 11:59-- I think the icing wins :)
