Heading South (Again)

Posted on February 17, 2019February 17, 2019by The Sub Par Golfer

After a welcome break in the UK visiting Phil’s family, we started heading south once again. I had just had a small carpal tunnel surgery on my hand so was sworn off sport for a month – a good time to hunker down for holidays and spend a couple of weeks driving to warmer temperatures. […]

Mo’ Miles, Mo’ Problems

Posted on January 14, 2019by The Sub Par Golfer

Being broken into was a major downer. Someone had been in our space and took what they wanted, which happened to be our stuff. Little did we know it was just the start of a long-winded, day-in-day-out litany of problems. We were meant to go on a big ol’ mountain bike ride with our friends Dan […]

We got robbed.

Posted on January 9, 2019by The Sub Par Golfer

I love Finale.  I’d consider moving here part-time, even. The only thing I don’t like about Finale, is the %#$@ing thieves. The last time we came to Finale, Phil was pick-pocketed at the Thursday market and they got away with his iPhone. Not long before that, our friends had their van broken into in broad […]

Gorgeous Garlenda Golf

Posted on January 3, 2019January 9, 2019by The Sub Par Golfer

We’d played Garlenda once before on our last trip to Finale about two years ago. We had always thought the one thing missing from Finale was a golf course. As it turns out there is one half an hour away, and a stunning one at that. Even better, they allow dogs on the course (“as long […]

Frost to Farinata

Posted on December 30, 2018January 9, 2019by The Sub Par Golfer

The day we left Chamonix was cold. We’d spent the night in the camper van as our chalet was so clean we felt it would be a shame to sleep in it. We’re renting it out to a local company for the season and it was in tip top shape, cleanest I’ve ever seen it […]

Down Down and Away

Posted on December 7, 2018January 9, 2019by The Sub Par Golfer

This winter, Phil and I are escaping the icy grip of winter and heading south for a change. For five months. We’ve got our camper van, our clubs and our dog Pepper and we’re excited to finally get to golf throughout the entire winter. Maybe in 2019, with constant play throughout the year, I’ll finally […]

Finding Women’s Golf Clothes That Don’t Suck

Posted on August 24, 2018August 24, 2018by The Sub Par Golfer

As a lady golfer, I spend a lot of time on the golf course and much of that time, not naked. So whenever I’m window-shopping for clothes, I’m always thinking, “Can I wear this on the golf course?” because that’s where I spend most of my time out of the house, not naked. I always […]

Golf in the Algarve

Posted on January 11, 2018by The Sub Par Golfer

We’d heard so much about golf in Portugal. So did it live up to the hype? We left Chamonix at an unholy 3am on Dec 5th. It was -9°C (15°F) and the idea that we would soon be outside in a t-shirt seemed too good to be true. We touched down, got our car and […]

When Winning Goes Wrong

Posted on September 7, 2017September 7, 2017by The Sub Par Golfer

It was like something out of a Monty Python sketch. It should have been so simple – you win a prize, you claim a prize. It was the first golf comp of the season and we’d just performed out of our skins, and as the new sponsor “Lucie F. Joaillerie”called us up as the brut […]

New LPGA Dress Code Is A Joke

Posted on July 19, 2017July 19, 2017by The Sub Par Golfer

A new policy will take effect this weekend on the LPGA, a crackdown on “plunging necklines” (how plungy?) and exposed “bottom areas” (how bottomy?). Last September I wrote a blog post about this very topic, so my feelings are pretty clear. At the time I believed we as golfers were moving into more progressive territory […]

Welcome


Hello, I'm Michelle. I'm a 7.9 handicapper and I've been golfing for as long as I can remember. Despite golf's tendency to frustrate and humiliate me, I've stuck with the ridiculous and satisfying sport. I'll be talking golf and talking sh*t, so stick around.
