What Do You Order from the #GolfChat Bar?

Well for the most part these days it’s as ol’ Hank Jr. would sing “corn bread and ice tea has took the place of pills and ninety-proof” but an occasional glass of Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva during #golfchat is always in order.

How Did You Get Into Golf?

When I was growing up one of our neighbors was a golf pro at local course (Westland Golf Course I do believe it was called.) Just about when I was 18-19 yrs old he ask if I would be interesting in learning. Up until then I would just hang at the course selling golf balls, etc. So he gave me a set of clubs, taught me the basics and I muddled through a yr or two. Gave it up when I join the service and my dad died. Played off and on through the yrs after that but nothing really to mention until about 4/5 yrs ago.

What Are You Doing in Golf and Why?

Consider myself a senior amateur golfer. Trying my best to lower my handicap in order to play in some future Golf Association of Michigan championships. Will play in 2016 on the MPSGA mini tour to gain tourney experience.

I also wrote a golf e-book called ‘Smart golf for everyday golfers’ which is for sale on Amazon.

As to why it’s because i love golf, I wish I would have had stronger push when I was younger but I now have time to do in golf what I didn’t have time for in my earlier yrs.

Favorite #GolfChat Topics?

Lately I’ve been really gung-Ho about amateur golfing and Senior Champions Tour.

Favorite Golf Quote?

Being I’m in my 60’s and trying to re-start a amateur golf career I love this quote from Michael Breed “It’s never too late to be great.”

Favorite Golf Destination and Why?

Marquette Golf Club / Greywalls course

How Do You View the State of the Game of Golf?

Here in Michigan golf seems to be doing pretty good. As in other places/states I can’t speak if it’s going good or not. I know a lot has been made over slow play but I personally have not actually experience any. So basically I would say around me golf is doing wonderful.

Who Are Your Favorite #GolfChatters and Why?

@jcgolferVA @12DegreeOffTee @Todd_fitness @cencalhack @h2cgolf @SuzyfromFlorida @29sonski @MarkKagaoan @Avgjoegolf and a whole slew of others! All are great interacting tweeters!

Favorite Golfers and Why?

Bernhard Langer the man can play golf as a senior.

Tom Watson again for 66 yrs old he can still play a mean round of golf.

How Did You Get Into Golf?

My dad introduced me to golf when I was in elementary school. My dad loves golf and was introduced to the game by his dad. One of the best memories of golf with my dad is going out to Fort Sam Houston golf course here in San Antonio. My grandfather was a Captain in the Army and is buried at Fort Sam Houston. From one of the holes on the back 9, we can see his gravesite from the fairway. My dad will look over and say that Pa Pa is watching us play golf right now. It’s great.

What Are You Doing in Golf and Why?

I have a golf blog, Front9Back9.com, which I started about five years ago. I love writing about golf and interacting with people about golf. I wouldn’t exactly call it a business but it grows every year and maybe one day I will be able to call it one. I do it more for fun at this point in my life but would like to grow into something awesome in the future.

Favorite #GolfChat Topics?

I just like talking golf so all the topics interest me. But if I have to pick one, I like talking about golf rules and etiquette on #GolfChat the most.

Favorite Golf Quote?

If you are on a golf course during and storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.

— Lee Trevino

Favorite Golf Destination and Why?

I don’t really have a favorite golf destination. If I had to pick, I’d like to go play Pebble Beach and Bandon Dunes. Have not been to either one of them yet but will get there one day.

How Do You View the State of the Game of Golf?

I think golf is strong. I typically play at a high end resort here in San Antonio and it always seems to be busy so I see lots of different people playing golf. I think the most critical component of golf right now is hooking the younger people on the game now. I think golf needs to be grown from the local level. Sure, there are several big national golf organizaitons that do their part to grow the game, but I think they only do so much. They might be able to help get the young people to the golf course but the local courses and instructors have to do their part to keep them hooked.

Who Are Your Favorite #GolfChatters and Why?

I have many favorite #GolfChatters. I’ve been doing this every Tuesday night for 4-5 months now I think.

@CitizenCage
@AmyMcTobin
@OnePuttBlunder
@Spin_47
@GolfBloggerCom
@ConnectGolf
@Regripped

And the list goes on and on and on…. Thank you #GolfChatters to making this an awesome and engaging hour!

Favorite Golfers and Why?

Tiger Woods by far.

Tiger Woods to me is my dad’s Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman. I was hooked on golf before Tiger burst on the scene but I loved watching it grow to the point it is today. He has done so much to grow this game.

What Do You Order from the #GolfChat Bar?

First of all, I appreciate that this is the first question! Ha! As far as an answer, it depends on the day/season and time of day…always prefer a good New Zealand or Australian Sauvignon Blanc or if cocktail time a Bombay Sapphire/Tonic (always with extra limes) or if beer, Pacifico with lime, Bloody Mary’s in the morning preferably fully garnished to include #bacon. It all depends but #rake #rake #rake

How Did You Get Into Golf?

My ex-husband introduced the game to me on our honeymoon in Maui. Bought my first set of clubs at Target. I still play with the same putter today, although a Wilson set, I named him Ralph.

What Are You Doing in Golf and Why?

I am working for the best golf course management company, KemperSports. It’s family owned and it feels like home. I get to travel and work with some of the most fun and innovative people in the business and brainstorm new ideas on driving revenue at all types of golf courses. It’s a hoot. I’m not sure I am changing the world by any means but I am trying to make it in a work hard-play hard place and positively promote the game of golf! I’m also on the board for the California Golf Course Owners Association #GolfAdvocate

Favorite #GolfChat Topics?

Favorite Golf Quote?

“It’s not about how good you play, it’s about how fast you play.” – AMEN

Favorite Golf Destination and Why?

This is tough to answer. Chambers Bay is a favorite but destination wise I might have to say Palm Desert, CA. the scenery is beautiful and the variety of resort style courses are plentiful. Love Desert Willow Golf Resort!

How Do You View the State of the Game of Golf?

I wish there was a magic bullet… I think seeing younger players on tour succeed such as Jordan Spieth does the game a lot of good. Showing golfers having fun versus being quiet and reserved (like we currently see on TV) would help some too. I think overall, the industry could create a stronger social aspect versus the heavy promoting of competition and having to hold a handicap would make room for an increase in participation. Plus throw in some adult beverages and music on occasion to kick it up a notch (yet not interfering with the die-hard competitive players.)
