Hey! I'm Trying to Relax Over Here!

The freaking work week is grueling, isn't it? Take yesterday for example; I boot up my computer at 9AM and the next thing I know it's 5:30PM and I haven't even had lunch yet. Sure, the day goes by fast when you're busy, but come on!Like you, I have a regular, 40+ hour a week job in a field unrelated to golf. All day I'm on the phone with internal sales people and external clients talking about statistics, quotes and contract parameters. I'm a public relations consultant at a large media relations firm trying to help corporate communicators do their job better. And, as you may have been able to tell, a good portion of my day is spent trying to win new business.Not sure how many of you are in sales, but man - it's hectic. So hectic, in fact, that a Friday evening doesn't mean it's time for fun,...

Know The Next Golf Tournament Winner? Wanna Bet?

I like betting.  I can't help it.., it's just fun for me.  I'm not an addict.  I'm not at the casino every other night.  I haven't lost my house or my car.  Maybe my shirt, but that's about it.  I'll bet on individual games, drop money into fantasy sports and, of course, the brackets going on this time of year.      The thing about betting is, it just makes the game, or whatever you're betting on, that much more interesting.  Whether you're betting on the NCAA Championship game, or the day your co-worker's baby is born - it makes you care that much more about the result.  We here at golfstinks have touched on different kinds of betting in the past.  Be it betting while...

Golf: A Human Sport...

I'm stuck in a catch 22. Besides Golfstinks.com, I also work in the semiconductor industry supplying manufacturers with components to make circuit boards. I'm all about electronics and developing new technology but not so much when it comes to golf. As much as these electronic gadgets supposedly make life easier, it can also take from the human aspect of it. I'm submerged knee deep in electronics on a daily basis, golfing is my way to get away from it. To me, golf is a sport* that relies heavily on human feel, intuition, instinct, some common sense and most importantly - practice. I'm not really sure if electronics should have much play in this game we love. For example, you drop $300 on a golf GPS apparatus another $250 on a rangefinder and...

EWGA: Give Back, Have Fun, Play Golf

In a world dominated by male sports, golf these days is typically a game that transcends the sexes. For example, the LPGA has done a somewhat decent job of reminding us that women do indeed play golf. But their not the only organization helping promote the game for ladies - there's also the EWGA.The EWGA (Executive Women's Golf Association) has been connecting business and professional women to golf for over 20 years and has built a vast sisterhood of members across not only the United States, but also Canada and Italy to boot.And the association knows how to have fun - their biggest event of the year, Golfpalooza, is being held in Vegas this year (former LPGA star Lorena Ochoa will not only be in attendance, but she will also be receiving...

The Golf Tour of The Average Hack's Dreams

It's an idea that's crossed all of our minds numerous times.  It's an idea we've tackled here at Golfstinks on more than one occasion.  It's something of which many of us have thought we'd like to be a part.  It's a golf tour for the regular guy.  Yes, it turns out, they do exist after all!  This past weekend, I attended the Connecticut Golf Show.  It was here, among the rows of reps from resorts, club manufacturers and apparel companies, that we came across a little organization called The Tour of Western New England.  It's this tour, and others around the country like it, that is the answer to many golfers prayers - the opportunity for the average hack to play, and...

5 Reasons They Quit Golf

As much as I love this game, there was a time when I thought about giving it up. Even though I snapped-out-of-it and rediscovered my passion for golf, others don't. Why? Golf is too HardPerhaps the most common reason is that golf is simply too hard. But is it too hard or are they just too lazy? Last year, I penned a guest post for a popular golf blog in which I asked if we're too lazy to get better at golf. Here's an excerpt:Practice makes perfect�Or so the saying goes. What that little phrase fails to articulate is how much practice it actually takes to make things perfect. Throw in an impossibly difficult sport like golf and attaining perfection becomes perfectly ridiculous. Now don�t get me wrong, there are a select few who not only have...
