I’m Ready to Get Pissed Off: My New Year’s Resolution
It’s almost the end of February and I have finally decided that it’s time to focus on my resolution for the year. Call it cabin fever—or maybe just a sudden urge to improve—as I watch the outside temperature creep above freezing again. And let me remind you, I live in Texas, where global warming in […]
Golf May Not Kill Me, but Skin Cancer Might Try!
Golf sucks. We all know this, especially those of us who brave the Texas sun for hours, chasing a little white ball while swearing that this will be the round where we finally break 100. But as much as golf likes to mess with my scorecard, something else decided to take a swing at me […]

In fact, it is the course for the Texas Tech University golf […]
A Texas Showdown

His efforts resulted in chasing down Akshay Bhatia forcing a Texas showdown. On the first hole of the playoff, McCarthy chunked a shot in to the brook protecting the 18th […]
Busted Club and Long (for Me) Drives – Memories at TPC San Antonio
As I tuned into the Valero Open this weekend, it brought back memories of my rare opportunity in 2021 to play a round on the course. It was a scorching summer day, mid-week, and fortunately, the course was relatively empty – just the way I prefer it! It was during that round that I unfortunately […]
Golf. A Game. Really?
According to Merriam-Webster, a golfer is someone who “plays golf.” But let’s be real, playing is supposed to be fun, right? I mean, when was the last time you heard a child mutter a string of profanities while playing with Legos? Golf, my friends, is not a game. It’s a curse, an addiction, a royal […]
