Enough of saying ‘let’s take a golf trip together.’ If this is something a bunch of friends want to do, then someone has to organize the ding-dang thing. Time’s a wasting and I'm not getting any younger. I'm taking control of my bucket list!
Most of you know I’m a golfer, leaving my writing desk to play a couple times a week...for exercise, for the competition and for the camaraderie. My husband doesn’t play golf, so I’m taking these trips with my girlfriends. Ready? Set? Go!

Three of us drove to Palm Springs last week, staying there three nights to play golf courses #10, #21 and #11. No question about it, we had fun and we were challenged…and we’ll be ready to play more of the courses on our bucket list next year. Goal? At least three courses a year for the next 9 years. Can we do it? You bet we can!
