In the fall of 2021, I said to my wife: Wouldn’t it be great if I could play the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland? Why not, was the answer. I then enlightened her that this is not so easy. Tee times for this club are only raffled off for non-members one year in … Read more
On September 3rd and 4th the time had come: The Club Championships started at Hohenhardter Hof in Wiesloch. The week before I had practiced: irons 6 and 7 and my wedges, which lately always went too far to the left. Also 2 practice rounds. My strategy: Again without driver and wood – club championships are … Read more
How could this happen? At the men’s golf on 13.7.2022 I compete in the tournament (sponsored by DVAG). The weather is great and my flight partners Otto and Peter are very pleasant companions. Also, today I decide to play without driver and wood. The days before, I had played an 86 in a private round. … Read more
Hello on my website about golf! So far I have reported on the Internet almost exclusively about technical things (Excel templates, technology, website creation, etc.). Also my 3 books deal only with professional topics. Looking back, however, it is at least as important to take care of the other parts of life and to make … Read more

The first golf tournament is an exciting thing! I remember it fondly – first I forgot my trolley at home and on the way I lost my teammate’s scorecard on a course. I don’t tend to get nervous, but this also made me a little anxious 😉 . But what is the best way to … Read more
It’s winter and unfortunately in Germany we then often only play on front-laid winter greens. This means that the greens are just a small short mowed grass area with a bucket-like hole. This of course increases the probability of hitting a hole in one, as the hole is much larger. However, the turf is anything … Read more
Like any ball sport, golfers need a ball. Everyone knows the tennis ball, volleyball, basketball or soccer ball from school sports or from the baketball-court around the corner. But as a beginner, you usually only come into contact with a golf ball when you start playing that sport. Now I’m not sure how big the … Read more
In any sport, the beginner asks himself the following questions – golf is no different: What do I need in the beginning to perform reasonably well in the sport? What do I have to consider in order not to damage my health? How do I behave best so as not to attract unpleasant attention as … Read more
I dedicate this post to the category “Handicap Challenge”. Because I want to improve my handicap in 2021? No! No? Yes, here’s the deal. In 2020 I played quite decent golf and finally managed to play my way down to “under 20”. The new WHS is also of this opinion and so I start the … Read more
Today it’s not about the right grip on the club, but about the grip in the wallet. How much and what did I spend money on in golf last year. Here is a small tabular overview: That makes a total of $ 4,320! Wow, not bad at all, what comes together like that! How … Read more
