Pitching In

So here I am, starting my new blog about golf - anything to do with golf.

I am the original "golf nut", in that I love everything to do with the game. I may not me a very accomplished player in my own right, but I do understand the game.

Remember, this blog represents the thoughts and ideas of a single individual - me - and some you may agree with and many you will not. Whether you do, or not, I simply hope that you find them interesting, and that my ramblings occassionally give you something to think about.

This blog will not be about any one aspect of the game, but I am a devoted follower of the Women's game - and a huge supporter of SA Women's Golf. Being South African I reserve that right, whether our golfers are in the Top 50 or the Top 500 in the World Rankings does not matter; they are South Africans, and I follow their progress and support them.

What I will ramble on about will include, but not necessarilly be limited to, the following:

• Tournament Previews
• Tournament News
• Tournament Reviews & Results
• The History of the game : Top players and happenings of years gone by.
• Equipment
• Tips & Drills: no, not mine, as I am not that qualified. Links to tips & drills I found useful.
• Courses - those I have played, those I would like to play, and those on everyone's bucket list.
• General Ramblings - this is where it can become contentious, as the one or two readers who may stumble upon this blog and decide to return from time to time will either agree or disagree with me. However, these are my thoughts about various happenings, players, and events. You are quite welcome to disagree. That is your right, just as it is my right to express my views in my blog. If you disagree, feel free to comment - just do so in a polite manner, and make a valid, logical and substantiated point.

This blog is all about golf, and is simply an outlet for me to write about the game I love.
If I manage to, over time, build up a regular reader base of one or two people, great. If not, well I have still enjoyed writing about the game, and expressing my views.

The question often asked is, "If a tree falls in the forrest, and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" That I do not have the answer to. What I do know is this: If I write this blog, and nobody reads it (which I hope will not be the case) I will still have enjoyed writing it.

This is actually an exciting time to begin the blog, with The Open Championship beginning in 48 hours.

So, if you are reading this, comment with your predicted winner.
