Sleeveless on the Course? Yes, Please!


OK, call me strange, but I only like to wear sleeveless things in the summer. Whether at the office, working around the house, playing golf or going to the movies, chances are that you won't see me wearing anything with sleeves if it is over 80 degrees. Fortunately, there is a great variety in ladies sleeveless golf shirts and golf dresses to keep even the most picky golfer cool this summer while meeting the dress codes are the most strict golf clubs. My personal favorite is the Ladies Sleeveless Crossover Golf Shirt from Jofit Golfwear. I own this ladies golf top in two colors and wear them all the time. It fits perfectly and is very flattering. Want something more basic? Try the ladies sleeveless polos from Golftini, Loft 8, or Pahr Golf.

Golf Lesson #2

So, it's been a few weeks, but I finally did get my second golf lesson in with Kathleen. I have been so busy with Pink Golf Tees, home remodeling projects that seem to never end, and a new puppy that I really haven't gotten to play golf all that much compared to normal and feel bad going to a lesson when I haven't been practicing.

We worked on my swing some more. My new stance and swing feels very unnatural, but I'm hitting the ball further with less effort, so I can't complain! Now if I could only get out and play! Hopefully lesson #3 will be soon. Stay tuned!

Golf Skorts Are HOT This Season!

In years past, I've had a difficult time deciding what to wear to the golf course. I didn't like most of my shorts because they didn't have adequate pocket space for tees or the stray golf ball. They also always felt either too short or too long to be comfortable while playing golf. Most summer days are far too hot for capris, so that didn't leave me with too many options. And then I discovered the skort. The all magical ladies golf skort. Suddenly I found myself buying just about every golf and non-golf related skort I could find.

Benefits of a golf skort:

1. Pockets! So far all of my skorts have far superior pockets or better arranged pockets than my traditional ladies golf shorts.

2. Comfortable! I have found skorts to be much more comfortable than my ladies golf shorts any day on the golf course. I feel more covered in a skort than in shorts, even short ones, but can still get the same sun as wearing shorts.

3. Kick up the style factor! Skorts are a great way to make a statement on the golf course for ladies. I've found more unique, stylish and creative ladies golf skorts than I know what to do with. Say good bye to those boring ladies khaki golf shorts!

4. Variety! There is such a wide variety of ladies golf skorts available, that you are sure to find something to fit your personal style and body type. From athlethic, form fitting fabrics to linen, to seersucker, the options are almost endless.

So, if you haven't tried a golf skort yet, I highly recommend it for your next trip to the golf course. Or to the grocery store, or library... They are so comfortable and flattering that I could honestly wear mine just about every day, whether playing golf or not.

Golf Lesson #1 of the Season

OK, so I finally made time to schedule my first golf lesson of the season. I usually take a series of 4-5 lessons each summer to head off any new bad habits and to work on my technique. My boyfriend got me a package of lessons last fall for my birthday and I'm just now getting around to using them. They are with a different pro this year and so far I am very happy with his choice. They are with the Linc Golf & Wellness Center here at the Overland Golf Course in Denver. My LPGA instructor is Kathleen Heiney and she is great. All of my previous lessons have been with male instructors, so this is a completely different experience. While they showed me what I should be doing, Kathleen showed me HOW to do what I should be doing. For the first lesson, she mainly worked with adjusting my grip, posture, and some tweaks to my swing. It is amazing how just a few small changes can make such great improvements! The main thing she stressed was to RELAX. That is something I've always struggled with - relaxing on the golf course. I always feel rushed or stressed because people are watching me or waiting for me. Those few times where the golf course isn't crowded and I'm playing only with people I know, I play so much better than usual. Duh!

Stay tuned for lesson 2!
