It's a rainy winter day, and my mind has started wondering to the game of golf.
It has been said that golf is a game for life, as both the young and old can experience the game and have a whole lot of fun playing the game.
By playing the game and keeping track of your score, you can earn a golf handicap which allows you to play other golfers in head-to-head or in tournaments where competition is fair and equitable because the better player "gives" strokes to the lesser player in an effort to make it a fair competition. This is a feature of the game that allows players with different abilities, ages, you name it to compete at the same level.

Imagine bending over to tie your shoe lace on a nice sunny afternoon and you can't perform this simple task. Imagine that your fingers were cold and had little feeling to loop the laces and tie a knot. That is the hazard of playing golf in mid-30 degree temperatures with wind chill in the 20's in January...and without gloves.
Standing on the eighth tee, traditionally a par 3 that plays in the 180 yard range and as I hit my drive I literally came out of my right shoe. Yes, I said drive as with my 9.5 degree driver, because on this day the 8th tee was the starting point for the par five 7th hole ending up at the 9th green at the Makefield Highlands Golf Club. Saturday, January 14, marked the playing of the Second Annual Artic Open and 60 die hard golfers showed up to play in this cross country event.

In 2011 scores of area golfers had outstanding achievements. Here's www.golfbuckscounty.com quick lookback at the year's top stories.
When it comes to golf in Bucks County, 2011 was a year of firsts.
Oh, there were the annual assortment of winners, no doubt about it. But there were also some historic firsts that "lap" the list of firsts.

There is some good news and bad news in everything. Sometimes, though, the bad outweighs the good.
Take the Yardley Country Club, for instance. On one hand, there is a tremendous sale going on in its pro shop. Steep discounts of 30-70 percent off are available, and the sale is open to the public. Deals on clubs, apparel, jewelry and other equipment are available, and just in time for Christmas.
That, of course is good news. But with the good comes the bad. Matt Esposito, head golf professional at "The Yard" since 2001, is holding the sale as his contract has not been renewed. The Council Rock grad, who has earned numerous awards for his stewardship, is moving on at the end of the year.
