Golf Tales and Tribulations, the new Golf Tales

Our name has changed. What do you think?

Returning after a busy Summer of hard work, I found Golf Tales in a rather messy state of despair and seriously in need of some love and attention.

With the new year quickly approaching, I thought, what a great time for a long needed name change, as I am now many years retired from my days behind a Pro Shop counter. From this, Golf Tales From the Pro Shop Counter was transformed and Golf Tales and Tribulations was born.

As returning visitors may have noticed, many other updates have also been made to the layout, pages, images, and load time of Golf Tales.

Take a moment to peek around at what’s new and leave your comments as you wish...

Hanging droplets


Water glistened


Orangey clear, fall


Painted by the brush


Of the afternoon sun.


On a backdrop of daisies,


Lupines and sage


This garden yarn was sown.

Growing a garden

So, now that the holidays are over and New Year’s is past us, the upcoming year can go nowhere but up from here!
Since changing employment avenues in the last few years and leaving the Pro Shop for the freedom and peacefulness of my gardens, I have realized my love for all things green. This winter has brought with it the creation of several garden and landscaping related articles, which also brought the need for a New Year's addition to my blog roll.

If you have a free minute or two, please take a moment to stop by my newest online endeavour, A Growing Garden.
