Golf bloggers are ending the year on a high note, and things should just keep on getting better. First things first: Who else can match Golf Chick’s improvement on the links this year? My guess is, not many of you can. Seems the Chick has seen her handicap go from 33 at the start of the year to 16 by the end. Seventeen strokes? I think we have a winner. Maybe the Chick can give Greg at New 2 Golf some pointers for 2006. If she can’t help, maybe he can try some of Golf on the Brain’s advice. SirShanksAlot has done ...

We’re pleased to include Luke Swilor at our Worldwide Golf Blogs listings. Luke is sharing his experiences as a young golfer trying to make it to the PGA Tour. In his most recent blog, you can just feel his excitement for the 2006 season. Keep us posted, Luke! Over at Texas Golf, BogeyMcDuff has a great blog on why he’ll hire a fulltime caddie should he win the lottery. Seems the lovely Mr. McDuff has that common penchant for thinking he hits his clubs further than he really does. “Coming up short is a commonality among amateurs. It’s as if we have ...

For golf bloggers, silly season seems to be getting even sillier. Miranda at Even Par Round is blogging about the bet between Sergio Garcia, Tim Clark and Adam Scott on who can grow their hair the longest. Should be interesting. I can pretty much guarantee that regardless of the outcome, all three will look better than Tiger Wood’s blonde moment a while back. Over at Golf Times, MattB has made an important scientific discovery about the relationship of water and new golf balls. “If there ever comes a time when you think you might be in the desert for an extended period of ...

From folk songs, to terrorist warnings, golf bloggers are going the extra mile. The Armchair Golfer has seen his new streak of golf-less days hit 50, so he celebrated with folk song about John Daly, based on “John Henry, the Steel-Driving Man.” John Daly was a golfer He gripped and ripped and let fly, “Tee ‘em up and swing from the heels, I’ll out drive you or I’ll die.” The poor dear may have gone batty, I’m afraid. Someone get a tee time for Armchair, ok? Over at The Golf Blog, Mulligan does a good job to help us poor Tivo-less souls. He gives two thumbs up ...

Golfing Michiganer had a nice find when he saw that Joe Gibbs, owner of Chocolay Down Golf Course in Marquette, Mich., is setting to build the world’s largest golf hole – a par 6 that will measure 1,007 yards, plus have room to grow should anyone challenge the record. The previous longest hole is in Sano, Japan, which apparently sent Gibbs off on some type of delayed patriotic spree. “I don’t mean to start World War III over this, but the World War II veterans like the fact that we’re beating the Japs again,” said Gibbs, whose course is set to open ...

It feels like a delicious day to take a look at some new golf blogs, as well as revisit favorites. First of all, Wounded Duck kind of frightens me. But I sort of like that. His interests: panic attacks, cold sweats, public humiliation, and coming to terms with the oblivion of death. WD has been talking about clubs he has tried and wants (and you definitely need to have something to hit between a fairway wood and a 5-iron, dear). He also noted the Sky Caddie, a GPS yardage guide that he wants, but the $350 price tag is currently too hefty ...
