It's the weekend and this tigress is ready to hit the links yet once again! While still being a part of the working class, (fortunately these days!) I am regulated to only being a weekend golfer. Nonetheless, I watch The Golf Channel everyday, subscribe to and read some of the monthly golf publications and get in some practice after work every week.
Since none of the clubs I belong to are playing this weekend, I am looking forward to getting in some live on-the-course practice in an effort to see if I can transfer what I practiced to the course. With the tournament season fastly approaching, I need to hone in some skills to beat some of the lady sharks I'll be playing against. You know the kind that pad their handicap to the high double digits and then shoot 80 in tournament!
Anyway, I'm off to play and hopefully keep it in play!

In Like a Tiger, Out Like a Lamb?
Is this going to be the mantra of Tiger Woods? I was so excited to see him coming back to the PGA Tour, but he was out too soon. He truly came in on Day One of the WGC Accenture Match Play like a Tiger, but the next day he went out like a lamb. Maybe he got a little ahead of himself and started feeling (and maybe playing) a little too cocky.
The first day back he played with caution. Not swinging too hard and trying to feel out the reconstructed knee . . . and it worked! Started the round with a birdie, then eagle and consistent play throughout the whole round. Result - winner, winner, chicken dinner!
The second day, he started trying to swing harder. Result - a few wild swings, out of bounds, a few bogies, missed putts and out of the tournament.
Hopefully, he will analyze his play during his respite and come back and play smarter the next time. Maybe he needs to remember what all us amateurs try to do . . . Keep it in play!

My Very First Time
This is my very first time blogging and I'm a little nervous, confused and every other emotional adjective! As my name suggests, I am a lady golfer. I'm not the best lady golfer, but I can hold my own and know my way around a golf course pretty well. I can pretty much hang with the average golfer -- male or female! I hope to use this blog to experience some other golfer stories, male or female. Let's hear em!
