The New Year and New Topics

Here's to the many wonderful things the new year will bring all of us.

Some of the items I plan to look at this year are reviews and critiques of some of the great golf courses I have played over the past few years and those I hope to play this year. I have even asked my wife to review some of the courses from the perspective of playing from the front tees. Not all courses are "women friendly" and with some luck we can get opinions on those that are and those that may require a extra length for the women.

I have also encouraged some of my friends who travel and play golf to participate in this process so we can get some diverse opinions and maybe cover more territory than I could cover based solely on my own travels.

Periodically I hope to introduce some additional topics including life after pets and will we see our pets in the hereafter. I am sure this could lead to some impassioned debates. It is also an election year so don't be surprised if some political "stuff" springs up periodically including links to other sites that might have some enlightened opinions - and not all of them conservative.

Enough for now, Happy New Year to all and I look forward to your visits.

By the way, anyone thinking about creating a nice little backyard retreat this summer may want to consider getting the designs rolling early this spring. A friend of mine is a true talent in that regards. Check out his website at www.carterlandscaping.net for some inspiration.
