  • Lower your score with advice to help you play smart golf

    Golf is a simple game.
    The ball is not moving when you try to make contact with it. No one is out there intercepting it or catching it and throwing it to first base. When you walk down the fairway, no one is rushing you, trying to tackle you and bring you to the ground.
    There are no defensive players in the grass, waiting to high-stick you. You have no team and there is no opposing team. When you get to the green, nothing stands between you and the cup except your skills and mental readiness.

  • The First Tee of the Cape Fear Region: off and running

    In August 2004, I wrote a column about Rusty and Carol Petrea and their dream of establishing a chapter of The First Tee in Brunswick County. They had built a 20-acre golf facility with three greens, multiple tees and a practice putting area. At that time, they were in the process of building a learning center with offices, classrooms and locker rooms.
    In November 2005, that dream came true when The First Tee of Brunswick County received its charter from the national office and became one of nearly 200 chapters in the United States and around the world.

  • Great idea for the gals: The Five O’Clock Club

    A few months ago, my dear friend Carol Fredericks broached an idea with me and I loved it.
    Carol and her husband, Bill, belong to Plainfield Country Club in New Jersey. Built in 1890, the venerable old Donald Ross design was the site of the 1978 U.S. Amateur and the 1987 U.S. Women’s Open. In 2011, Plainfield hosted The Barclays.
