I changed tees mid-round! Can I still post?

Dear Molly: On vacation in Arizona I played a course that was new to me, and after the first five holes it became clear that I had teed it up a little farther back than I should have and so I moved up a set of tees. Is there any way that I can post that round? Golf clap here for your wisdom! Golf is supposed to be fun. When you’re hitting driver, fairway wood, hybrid just to reach the green on a par-4, that sounds more like agony than fun. Playing too far back creates an even bigger margin

GottaGoGolf Getaway: Taos, New Mexico

Susan Fornoff, editor of GottaGoGolf — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 20:28:31 +0000

Sparkling blue skies, colorful art works and fresh green chiles lure travelers to Taos, so the golf feels like a bonus. And, what a bonus it is! We had cabin fever when we planned a May golf getaway to Taos, New Mexico. At about 7,000 feet elevation, it’s got great golf appeal from spring into fall — pretty much from when the snow melts until it falls again. But it’s close enough to lower elevations that you could stay here in winter and drive down to golf! And the high desert scenery would drop jaws in the fall. We drove

Are there more than 7 dirty golf tricks? That seems like more than enough. IF SUZANN PETTERSEN and Charley Hull had intentionally staged the scene that won them the 17th hole and ultimately their 2015 Solheim Cup match against Brittany Lincicome and Alison Lee, it might have gone down in history as one of golf’s greatest gambits. Lee missed her putt and Hull started walking away, taking the referee with her, giving the impression that the ensuing putt was conceded. Lee picked up her putt. And there across the green was Pettersen saying, “We didn’t give her that.” All legal

It’s not the healthiest breakfast, but ‘ham and egg’ can be good for golf partners

Susan Fornoff, editor of GottaGoGolf — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 20:36:47 +0000

WHENEVER the Solheim Cup, Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup comes to your TV set, prepare to hear “ham and egg” become a verb during the four-ball matches. The announcers will not be referring to the breakfast you may be preparing in a few hours or the Dr. Seuss story you may be reading your wee one. They probably will be complimenting two teammates who are complementing each other, perhaps because ham (particularly in the form of bacon) and eggs work so well together on a plate. But, specifically, in a match where the best ball of two counts, “ham and
