Today, Mike and I headed to Simon’s Town for a round of golf. It’s been too long since we were there. They can’t be accused of wasting water on the fairways. They are keeping what they have for the greens. … Continue reading

When We Can’t See What’s Ahead

Favourite Photo
This photo tells a story. It’s Mike and I walking down what seems to be the 12th fairway at Clovelly, both dragging the cart, in conversation, no doubt about where the ball went. I don’t like that we are walking … Continue reading

Golf & Grace
3-30pm As Mike & I enjoyed the great outdoors this morning, I was reminded of something I had seen online… This is true, but it’s best to be sitting in church thinking about God! Today, Mike & I spent more … Continue reading
People Look At Me Funny!
1-19pm I think I know why I love golf so much, not to play, but rather to caddy. People look at me funny when I say I love caddying…. and it is the most commonly asked question I get, “when … Continue reading
