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 […]
Heading South (Again)
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
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.
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
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
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
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 […]
