Golf Course Bling

Do your rings, watches, bracelets and necklaces pass the fairway fashion test?  Before heading off to the golf course, ask yourself: 

Will this jewelry become uncomfortable during play or interfere with my golf grip?

Is the jewelry too loose fitting or does it have a worn clasp?  Even just a 9-hole round is a lot of ground to cover looking for lost pieces.

Will the item(s) fit comfortably within my golf glove? 

How noisy is my favorite bracelet ensemble or necklace?  Will they be a distraction to me or my playing partners?

If you are unsure about your favorite items, take a few practice swings prior to teeing it up.  This quick fairway fashion test will help ensure that you and the other lady golfers in your group have an enjoyable experience.

Does Luck Trump Fashion?

I play better when I wear it. I’m happy when it matches my outfit. It is always my first choice for headwear. The problem is my lucky hat is nowhere near fashionable. I’m one of those people who can get emotionally attached to a certain hat, golf glove or golf club. My hat was a birthday gift from a friend and her children. I often wear it on very hot and humid days and after its last spin through the washing machine, I find myself thinking about the life expectancy of my lucky hat. I was wearing it the day I shot my lowest score. I was wearing it when I finally drove the green on an evil par three at our local course. The truth is I have also worn it many more times while climbing down banks, wading through weeds and fishing my golf ball out of the creek. Maybe it is
not a lucky hat after all. In the end, fashion will trump, if not my lucky hat, my favorite hat.
