Well, two weeks have passed since I arrived in the USA and I still have yet to step foot on a golf course so its no wonder I’m becoming grouchy.

Anytime a golf professional takes a holiday with his family, certain sacrifices have to be made and careful negotiations are required. For example, if I want to play golf one time, then I have to take the wife to nine billion other places first, most of which involve shopping.

Hello from America…the Land of the Free and the Home of some of the largest bottoms on the planet.

I honestly cannot understand how something like this can happen in America, given the nation’s proclivity for producing TV shows where everyone is svelte and where there are fitness centres on almost every street corner.

Reality is a different story.

By the time you read this, my plane should be lightly touching down in Boston as I being enjoying a long-overdue annual leave. This means I have the opportunity to annoy all my old friends and family, become a menace on the highways and, of course, drive local golf professionals up a wall.

A curious thought struck me the other day…

Golf governing bodies are screeching that supercharged golf balls and titanium headed clubs are making some of the older tracts obsolete, golf course architects are crying that soon they will have to design 8,000-yard courses, and most of the newly designed golf courses have at least one Par 5 over 600-yards…

Well, another birthday has come and gone…

I am either fortunate, or unfortunate, to celebrate my birthday on July 4th. It’s fortunate because I can claim to be a "real live nephew of my Uncle Sam", and unfortunate because there’s no way to ignore it…it jumps out at you from all directions.

Vietnam’s unique way of calculating age doesn’t really help matters either. For example, in the US I would be 47, but here in Vietnam I’m 48.

AGGGGGGGGH!
