Hello and Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready for 2015. I know I'm looking forward to this year and all of the opportunities for reading new books, writing my next novel, and creating some fun new blogs for you to enjoy.

So, without further delay, let me say thank you for stopping by my first blog of 2015. If you jumped over from the fabulous Ronnie Allen at http://ronnieallennovel.com/blog then thank you for stopping by. If you haven't visited Ronnie's website, then by all means, hop on over once you've finished visiting with me.

Today we are chatting about a question posed to us by the wonderful Xio Axelrod. Please stop by her blog website at  http://www.xioaxelrod.com   Xio asked us to describe "A Day in the Life...", or "What do you do when you're not writing?"


One thing I love and really enjoy doing is playing golf. Yes, I wake up early on my golfing days, stagger around in the dark to get dressed and grab some breakfast, before I meet up with my golf friends at the clubhouse. Sometimes we're there before the sun is up. Other times the fog is so dense we can't even see the ball after we've hit it. And on a rare occasion, there might be the tiniest bit of drizzle falling around us. As long as the rain isn't coming down in torrents, we're going to chase that ball around those eighteen holes.

Are we crazy? Maybe. But we do have fun.

And look at this beautiful picture of the golf course. Who wouldn't want to be outside on a lovely sunny day, feeling the breezes, listening to the birds, and driving a golf cart on emerald green grass. Mmmmm - lovely.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not a great golfer by any means. My handicap is an embarrassment and I won't print it here. But I'm not into golf for the glory, or a shot at the Ladies PGA. I'm into it for the fun. Some rounds are better than others, and it drives me crazy when I have a really great game one day, and then one of my worst games the next.

They say that golf is a four letter word - and I have to admit it, whoever first came up with that phrase is absolutely correct. Some days I want to break every club in my bag and hurl my balls into the lake.

But sometimes everything goes right, and you have a magical round of golf.  There was one day in particular when my drive was perfect, my second shot sublime, my chip shot amazing and I ended up putting into the hole from four feet away. All I can say is that I shouted my favorite words - I MADE PAR!


I was so excited I took a picture of my chip shot, and then the ball in the hole after my putt to prove to myself, and to anyone else who might ask, that I actually did it!

These photos are a testament to a special day of golfing, when all the stars aligned and life was good.

I think golf is a lot like life, and Forrest Gump said it best "... life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get."

The same is true of golf.


Well, I hoped you enjoyed your visit to my blog and thank you for stopping by. When you leave here, please hop over to the lovely LaNora Magnano  http://jeanne1965.wix.com/finding-lanora#!blog/c112v  and see what she has to say about her day of not writing.

See you next time!
