Mad about golf, enthusiastic about life, totally in love with my husband and just having fun.

Palm Springs – PGA West Stadium

A good nights sleep, another fantastic day, a little cooler as it was early morning and a 15 minute shuttle ride from the hotel.  All the courses we played include range balls in their rounds, so you get a nice warm up, get your refreshments, practice chipping and putting and […]

On our way to Palm Springs 

Palm Springs is a desert resort city within the Coachella Valley and is about 170 kms East of LA. It is 240km squared, making it the largest city in the country by land area. With more golf courses than any other region in California, it is the perfect place for […]

Final day 2015 Masters

We were on a shuttle at 6am, to get to the Masters and queue to put your chair in a good spot.  Bleary eyed exisiting on the adrenalin from the excitement of being at the masters on the final day, we were buzzing.  Even the thought of hanging around for […]

Ryder Cup at Palmetto

     Totally inspired by the Masters, we ventured off to Palmetta which is in Aiken.  It was the Boys versus the girls and we were ready to take them on.  Sadly, we got our butts kicked, the opposition team had a hole in one, and eagle and so many […]

Day 2 @ The Masters

After having great plans to get an early night, some how we forgot that and only got to bed at 11:30, with an early  morning ahead that might not have been the smartest thing to do..  We had a great nights sleep apart from the jumbo jet engines starting up […]

Pinehurst No. 2

Donald Ross’ creatively named course “Number 2″ was then and is still now considered the crown jewel of the resort. Donald Ross who has hundreds of golf course designs to his credit did a large number of them having never set foot on the job sites. What makes Pinehurst different […]

Pinehurst No 4

My favourite so far. Didn’t score very well but that was due to some dubious course management. If you hit it short there is no hope of the ball skipping on, if it doesn’t kick left or right into a pot bunker then it will roll down a false front. […]

Pinehurst No 8

This course has a little of all the other course according to ex CIA Jim who started us.  The complex is amazing and very well done as you would expect.  The golf was good with an even par round from Robbo and Rossco, Pato and Hoppy all shooting 38 points. […]
