Dear Golf For Women,
I read your magazine faithfully. I appreciate your swing tips and equipment reviews. And the fashion is nice to look at, although I am past the age where I could actually wear any of it without attracting some rather rude stares and giggles. I realize that, as a woman who happens to golf, but is primarily a working mom and wife to The Golfer, I am not your target demographic. However, if you ever find yourself with a few empty pages to fill, may I suggest an article on one of the following:
Raising Golfers: The Offspring are on a first name basis with the staff at the halfway house and have the menu memorized. Is this a good thing?
Course Etiquette: If you hit into the pot bunker way down on the left, and your Offspring lands on the fairway of the hole next to the one you are on, to the right, at what age is it alright to let them drive the cart to their ball while you walk to yours, assuming you are way out on the 5th hole and there is no ranger in site?
Organization: The back of the mini van always contains folding chairs for the many sports practices/games, a work out bag, a bag with water/treats/poop bags for the dog, a picnic blanket and a set of clubs. How do you arrange these so that each one is available to be pulled out individually, and there is still room for the musical instruments and the occasional school project?
Trick shots: The last time you and Offspring #1 played a round together you tried out her new 7 wood and hybrid, and she played with your new wedges and new driver. You both agreed that you would get all the clubs back in the right bag at the end of the round, but you were really looking forward to the 19th hole, and forgot. It is now 2 weeks later and you are standing on the first tee, minus your driver and all your wedges, but you have a nice new 7 wood and hybrid. How do you get the most distance off the tee with a 7 wood, and can you use a hybrid to get out of a sand trap?
Fashion: The tee time is for 2pm and you were sure that gave you enough time to clean a bathroom, do a load of laundry, get the dish washer loaded, clean up all the pages from the latest book the dog chewed up, and clean up most of the mud the animals tracked in after the rain last night. It is now 1:15 and you are still wearing the sweats you clean house in, and the cat just came inside with a half dead bird that is dripping blood and trailing feathers*. What are some fast hair/makeup/fashion tips that will allow you to check in with the starter on time and not look like you just survived a tornado?
These are just suggestions of course. I'm sure if you ask the golfing mom's on your staff they will have many other ideas.
Thank you for your time,
The Golfer's Wife
* Yes this really happened. You people think I can make stuff like this up?
