Weather Good, Golf Bad

Actually wandered down to the putting green over at Haines Point in DC (http://www.golfdc.com/gc/ep/gc.htm) to practice my putting. Brought along my Scotty Cameron mil-spec (www.scottycameron.com) and my old hickory shafted blade which I use as a practice putter. The practice greens were in decent shape, but my stroke wasn't cooperating. Perhaps I'll get in some more time on the greens this upcoming weekend. Which reminds me- this weekend in New England isn't looking too good. My schedule was to consist of rounds at:

Shennecossett GC in Groton, CT (would have been my home course if I still lived there but then I'd have to rename this blog. The Wandering Golfer?.......wait, isn't that already taken? Crap.)
Norwich GC (www.norwichgolf.com) in Norwich, CT
Elmridge GC (www.elmridgegolf.com) in Pawcatuck, CT
Newport National (www.newportnational.com) in Middletown, RI
and maybe Granite Links (www.granitelinksgolfclub) in Quincy, MA
and if I got really desperate Lake of Isles in Preston, CT

Oh well. Might have to bring the executive indoor putting set to the (ugh) folks home. Happy Easter. At least the Masters is on. And the Red Sox.

The Golf Girl (http://thegolfgirl.blogspot.com) gives a decent editorial on newly minted LPGA Major Champ Morgan Pressel and her association with Polo Ralph Lauren. Though she misses one of the most annoying things about this years' Polo stuff. THAT BIG ASS POLO LOGO. (http://www.polo.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2528658&cp=1766616.1766670&SMR=1&parentPage=family) Enough. The original is classy (in fact I wore a Polo shirt to work today) with the normal logo. That huge ass logo is just annoying. More like Ralph being Tommy.

Introduction

Welcome to the on-line "home" of me, the Homeless Golfer. Yes, I have an actual home, but like many of you I don't belong to a golf club or even frequent the same local muni, so I am without a "home" club. Therefore, here I am, a golfer in search of a home. What I'll be doing is posting some thoughts and commentary on my journey and perhaps some other things along the way. Enjoy.
