Please comment on who won. We definitely can’t decide ourselves, as we have to live together for the next month. Catch up on the dysfunction here: THE PAR WARS SAGA

Is Golf the Ultimate Game for Self-Isolation?
On the day the UK has announced their latest lockdown measures and while France is on day 8 of lockdown, I can’t help but daydream of the possibility of our golf course opening again. While the chances of a lockdown ending anytime soon seem to be dwindling day by day (some are predicting the lockdown […]
Gorgeous Garlenda Golf
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 […]
Down Down and Away
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
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
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
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
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 […]
How to Keep Focused on Your Game
It’s not always easy to keep focus during golf, especially when your golf buddies are hell-bent on jazz-handing their way into your consciousness. When you’re trying to hit the perfect shot or sink that clutch putt, a thoughtless cough, sneeze or muted shuffling through one’s bag could send you into a tailspin of frustration. Don’t […]
PAR WARS: The Final Round
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 […]
