Once I started playing golf, I came to realise that I was a bit of an anomaly. I’m right handed with everything I do except playing bat and club sports. I also noticed this when I was rifle shooting years ago as well as using a microscope in my University years. However back then, it […]
Things I Love About Golf
This morning while driving to the golf club to play another round of 18 holes Stroke competition today, I thought about all the things I love about playing this game. It’s fast becoming my new learning obsession where I’m making time to improve my skill and lower the handicap. I have a long way to […]
Our Club Recognised for Women’s Golf
I’m glad that I was lucky enough to go through one of these Women Introduction to Golf Programs by the Woodlands Golf Course. Going through as a cohort of women of all ages, it’s been a chance to learn how to play, get introduced to the other staff and members, have access to the club […]
Quiet Time
It feels a bit awkward to write something here as I feel it’s been a while since I’ve had anything of note to say. Nothing much has been happening in my life and in fact, I don’t mind it at all. There’s a quietness to my days and there are days where I get up […]
New Golf Clubs
Last month I ordered a new set of customised golf clubs. I had myself fitted for a range as my old set was over 15 years old. Like everything, new technology means that sporting equipment like golf clubs improve over the years. I decided to order the ultra new Callaway Paradym X Driver which they […]
18 Holes on a Monday Morning…and Counting
It was so weird to stand there on the first hole and tee-off with a group of ladies at the Golf Club this morning. I tried to kerb my feelings of guilt. Everyone else would have been at work – or preparing for work at 8 o’clock. Instead, here I was, driver in hand ready […]
It’s Official Now
Today I started my day with a game of golf. I put my name down to go around on the course for a practice run fully expecting no other person to join me. Instead, another lady who had exactly the same idea as me joined me and we used the opportunity to play with three […]
Corellas on the Course
This morning I headed out to Woodlands Golf Course to have a bit of practice putting and chipping. It was the first bit of sunshine we had in over a week of constant rain and floods. I had to get out of the house to experience the sunlight on my skin. It was glorious! I […]
Eerie Coincidences
On Friday last week I headed over to the Woodlands Golf Club in Mordialloc. As a newly joined member of this golf course on the sandbelt of Melbourne, I now have a place away from home where I could meet new people, play golf and socialise whenever I want. It’s a welcoming club and I […]
Scotchman’s Hill Luncheon at Yarra Yarra Golf Course
We have just returned from an excellent long lunch at Andrew’s golf club. He’s been a member of Yarra Yarra for many years and it’s the first time in a couple of years, we have gone to a social function after lockdowns. Admittedly, attending these functions always have a bit of trepidation and anxiety knowing […]
Sunday Sunday
This morning Andrew arrives home fifteen minutes after he left for the golf course. I thought he has forgotten something which doesn’t set up the day ahead because he becomes cranky for the rest of it. However, the course was closed due to fog. That was my signal to get up from bed, get dressed […]
Enjoying Golf
Yesterday afternoon I had my second on course golf clinic with a few other ladies. I signed up for the Woodlands Golf Course Women’s Introductory Program which is a program involving classes, on course clinics, private lessons and mentoring where we each have one of the lady members help us learn the ropes of the […]
Introductory Women’s Golf Program
Many years ago, I used to play golf socially. A bit of a hit and giggle for me and joined The Women’s Golf Network which put on 9- and 18-hole rounds every week at the courses around Melbourne. I loved being part of the network mainly because of the social element plus weekends away which […]
Women’s Introductory Golf Program
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been getting back into golf. This was a sport I started about ten years ago and it was introduced to me by my husband Andrew, who’s a mad keen on the sport. Through his help, he bought me a set of left handed clubs (even though I am […]
Getting Into Golf
Yesterday I had my first lesson as part of Womens Introduction to Golf Package run by the Woodlands Golf Course. My friend Caroline and I used to be members of the Womens Golf Network, a social golf club ten years ago that organised lessons and golf games as well as trips away. With life getting […]
