Amateur Golf. There’s nothing amateur about it while competing for your state’s amateur title. To those who took vacation days, are working nights, or simply home on college break, it’s the highlight of the competitive golf season. This week, my son and I competed in the 114th New Hampshire Golf Association (NHGA) State Amateur Championship. The […]

2017 New Hampshire State-Am Qualifier
The demanding part of the competitive golf season has arrived with the playing of the state-am qualifiers. No longer is there time for swing tweaks, equipment changes, or self-doubt. It’s #gotime. This year I returned to the site of the 2015 New Hampshire State Amateur Championship to attempt to qualify for this year’s event. Having […]
Every Day is Father's Day
Moms around the country joke that “Every day is Father’s Day”. While they are trying to jab at the notion that dads have it easy, there’s another take-away from the expression: you’re a father every day. There are no days off from the responsibility of being a great dad. Show up every day. 99% of fatherhood is just being […]

Spectacles
Perhaps I’ve just been in denial but after 39 years it was time to get some glasses. The world is back to being rendered in high-def instead of 800×600. Who knows, perhaps it’ll improve my golf game too…
Bloom
This daffodil sprang to life as the snow melted and air warmed. In two weeks time, a barren patch of dirt has become home to a complex and beautiful flower. Take advantage of the warmth in your life. Bloom.
