Holidays a time to reflect on life, golf and shallow holiday blogs
The holidays are just a fantastic time to be a writer. A writer’s lonely existence is mollified by being surrounded with family, friends and loved ones in a heartwarming, soul-enrapturing yadda, yadda, yadda.
But mainly, it’s a great time to be a writer during the holidays because finding topics to write about is just so easy. Let’s see, it’s Thanksgiving, what am I thankful for? It’s Christmas, what gifts would I give to golfers? It’s Hanukkah … Ok, I got nothing for that. Or Kwanza, for that matter. But New Years is just a “2005’s Top-10 Whatevers” free-for-all.
It’s sad really, and casts long shadows on man’s creative abilities. Are we all such hacks that year after year we continually write the same stories? It’s about time someone took a stand against the trite, uninspired detonation of holiday-themed articles that come annually to dull the minds of readers throughout the land. And I plan to be the person to do something, right after this:
Top Things I’m Thankful For
Michelle Wie: Based purely on how much she seems to get under Chris Baldwin’s skin.
Tiger Woods: Because it’s a pleasure to see a legend in his prime.
Cheap Bastard: For knowing what bars have the best Happy Hours.
Tim McDonald: For knowing when to make us leave said bars.
Annika Sorenstam: See Tiger’s entry; replace “his” with “her".
Shakira: For those belly-dancing moves she does.
TravelGolf.com Readers: For being such devoted, kind-hearted, intelligent, yadda, yadda, yadda.
