A Golf Ball for Duffers

January 5, 2023 by Jim Brewer

A Golf Ball for Duffers

The golf pros endorse this ball or that one because of spin and that they perform better on the greens. The greens? When the pros speak of greens, they mean hitting the ball close to the flagstick on no worse than the second shot. It sometimes takes me that many to get to ladies’ tees. They also may suggest another brand because it goes high, spins on command, and responds well to wedges. All … [Read more...]

Winton Farm Golf Course

August 18, 2022 by Jim Brewer

Winton Farm Golf Course

  We are blessed to have a number of nice golf courses in and near Charlottesville, with lots of options to tee it up. But many don’t consider a really nice course available to us just 40 miles south. Winton Farm Golf Course in Amherst. I had played it once, 5 or 6 years ago, and played it again last week. I remember the course as being pretty long for me, so I moved up in tee boxes and … [Read more...]

Playing Expensive Golf

May 12, 2022 by Jim Brewer

  Like everything else, golf is getting more expensive. Chemicals, gasoline for the carts and increased labor costs for maintenance adds up, so courses are raising greens fees, but in my opinion, some courses may be pricing themselves out of the market and losing revenue. Case in point. Old Trail in Crozet is now $84 for 18 holes and a cart Mon-Thu, $90 on Friday and $104 on … [Read more...]

VSGA VIP Cards

With the thermometer on the front porch checking in at a brisk 17 degrees, it’s hard to imagine that The Masters begins 94 days.

Old and Corny Golf Jokes

January 6, 2022 by Jim Brewer

Old and Corny Golf Jokes

What’s the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver? A bad golfer goes: “Whack...Damn!" A bad Skydiver goes: "Damn!...Whack.”   Bob stood over his tee shot for what seemed an eternity. He waggled, looked up, looked down, waggled again, but didn't start his back swing. Finally his exasperated partner asked, "What the hell is taking so long?" "My wife is up there … [Read more...]

Swannanoa? Really?

September 16, 2021 by Jim Brewer

Swannanoa? Really?

If you haven’t played Swannanoa golf course in a while, you’re in for a surprise. In previous years, you could give a downhill putt a good rap and often leave it short. Not anymore. The greens at Swannanoa are now fast and quick, and there are no more mysterious bumps on the surfaces. They have really improved the course. Last year, during the Chinese Virus (it came from China, you know), a lot … [Read more...]

The Golf Fly

September 2, 2021 by Jim Brewer

The Golf Fly

He follows me no matter where I go. Old Trail, The Homestead, Trump National, Stony Creek, no matter the course, he’s always there. He’s a Golf Fly and his favorite perch is on one of my white golf balls. My Golf Fly is particular, though. He won’t land on a green golf ball, just a white one. I don’t know how he does it, but no matter where I hit my drive, he zeroes in and settles on top of the … [Read more...]

A $50 Bargain

July 8, 2021 by Jim Brewer

A $50 Bargain

    I played Trump National in Charlotte last week. The course is a little like the Sahara Desert with patches of grass here and there. Yes, there are lots of sand-filled hazards and some are almost as deep as The Grand Canyon.   But yea though I walk through the valley of traps and bunkers, I shall fear no sand, because I have my xE1 sand wedge with me.   Two … [Read more...]
