Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! May 2025 be filled with fairways, greens, birdies and pars!
The Adventures of A Public Course Golfer
I've made my list and hopefully Santa has checked it twice. Hopefully tonight that Jolly Old Elf will leave a few of my golf-related Christmas list items under my tree. This year I asked Santa for a gift card to Dicks Sporting Goods or Golf Galaxy, some Titleist NXT golf balls and some Clif Bars for my golf bag. Although my golf game was more naughty than nice this past year, I think Santa might leave a couple of these items. As the Chipmunks sing: "We can hardly stand the wait, please Christmas don't be late!"
As we end the first decade on the 21st Century, I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy and Safe Holiday Season. I also want to thank you for visiting this blog and following my adventures throughout the year! May you get everything on your holiday wish list and may 2010 be a year of fairways and greens, birdies and pars, and lower handicaps for all!
Sadly, yesterday's big snowstorm made me realize that the end of my 2009 golfing season has arrived. Although I have not been able to play since October, like many golfers, I kept hoping that there was one more round to play before the calendar flips over to 2010. But between a couple of colds, family commitments, the holidays and now the weather, I realize I've filled out my last scorecard for this year. Before the end of the year, I'll reflect back on how this season went and post my thoughts, as well as my statistics.
Like most everyone, The Muni Golfer woke up this morning to find that Santa had left several packages under the Christmas Tree. Santa must have gotten my Christmas list, because when I opened my gifts, I found two boxes of Wilson Staff Zip golf balls and a DVD of the golf movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance. I can hardly wait for some good weather to try the golf balls on the course. And I'll be watching one of my favorite golf movies as I start thinking about next season and using those golf balls. Thank you Santa...and Mrs. Claus too!
Like everyone else this time of year, The Muni Golfer has made out his list for jolly Old St. Nick. Among the golf items that I've asked Santa for is a gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods or Golf Galaxy, some Wilson Staff 50/50 or Zip golf balls, a box of Nature Valley Granola Bars (The Muni Golfer's favorite on-course snack) and a DVD of either Legend of Bagger Vance or Tin Cup. The Muni Golfer has been especially good this year--hitting the driving range, counting all my shots, and taking appropriate penalty strokes--so Santa should deliver at least a couple of the things on my list. I can hardly wait until Christmas morning!
