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 […]

PAR WARS: The Final Round

Posted on March 28, 2017March 28, 2017by The Sub Par Golfer

PAR WARS: THE FINAL ROUND The Sub Par Golfer’s Account ROUND NINE – KA’ANAPALI This was make or break time. The last round at a difficult course, a round that could spell the end of Par Wars 2016. I’d already had a massive argument with my family that morning about Trump, so I wasn’t off to a […]

New Golf Rules My Arse

Posted on March 24, 2017March 25, 2017by The Sub Par Golfer

In case you haven’t already heard, the R&A and USGA have come up with a list of proposed rule changes to the game of golf. Now, I’ve spent a lot of my available mental memory storing these rules and regs (to the detriment of remembering names of people I’ve known for less than three years). […]

PAR WARS: ROUND 6

Posted on January 20, 2017January 31, 2017by The Sub Par Golfer

PAR WARS: ROUND 6 ROUND SIX The Sub Par Golfer’s Account Today we were back at Maui Nui playing with our buddy Bud, the amazing 82-year old man who for at least 15 years has shot his own age, which when you start to think about it is an amazing feat and the first person I’d met who had […]

Compétition de Noël

Posted on January 3, 2017January 7, 2017by The Sub Par Golfer

It’s not often you get the chance to play golf in Chamonix around Christmas. Normally the course is already under a few feet of snow and sprinkled with its first layer of ‘dog business.’ This season, however, it’s prime golf time. The course had shut in early November after a super-dump of snow but since there had been […]

PAR WARS: ROUND 5

Posted on December 29, 2016January 20, 2017by The Sub Par Golfer

First of all, apologies for the long break between posts! Holidays, travel and jet-lag got the better of me, but now I’m back. PAR WARS: ROUND 5 ROUND FIVE The Sub Par Golfer’s Account After my psychogolfic breakdown in the last round, I was very tentative about round five. I was going in one-down, Phil was playing outstandingly, […]

PAR WARS: The Ultimate Golf Showdown?

Posted on November 23, 2016December 5, 2016by The Sub Par Golfer

PAR WARS SCROLL DOWN TO READ PHIL’S (ALBEIT BIASED) ACCOUNT OF ROUND ONE Every vacation that involves a few rounds of golf ultimately sparks a competition between my parter Phil and myself. Are we competitive? Yes. Have I won every PAR WARS golf cup to date? Yes. Does mentioning that fact make me an ass? […]

Going Out With a Bang

Posted on October 27, 2016October 26, 2016by The Sub Par Golfer

It was the last golf competition of the season and I wanted to finish the year like I started. Kicking ass (sort of) and taking names (politely). I had started the year with a solid win in the 1st annual Porsche Trophy, and I (stupidly) had high hopes for the rest of the season. But a few […]

PLUS FIVE, BOOM!

Posted on October 21, 2016October 25, 2016by The Sub Par Golfer

Yesterday, for the second time this year, I shot plus 5 at Chamonix Golf Course. Not an easy feat, as anyone who’s played here can tell you. With our course slope, a 7.9 handicapper should be given 9 strokes from the blue ladies’ tees, so shooting 5 over par is pretty damn good (if I do […]

Golf for Thickies

Posted on October 3, 2016July 24, 2017by The Sub Par Golfer

I have a surprising amount of friends who don’t know A THING about golf, despite my repeated attempts to talk ceaselessly about it at dinner parties. These are educated, well-read people, but when it comes to golf they’re more Clueless than Alicia Silverstone – in Blast from the Past (he’s been underground since 1965, idiot!). […]

Welcome


Hello, I'm Michelle. I'm a 7 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 crap, so stick around.
