Golf. It’s like that one friend who always shows up for the hangout but constantly changes up plans last minute. You either love it or you’re grudgingly ambivalent about it. If you’re still reading, maybe you’re on the former side of that line, or maybe you just stumbled here by accident. Either way, welcome to the chaos that is GolfBlogger.
So, GolfBlogger has been around for a while—like, since 2004, folks. That’s 20-ish years if you don’t feel like doing the math, which, I totally get. Who wants to think math when you’re trying to escape into some golf goodness, am I right? This little blog right here is handmade in Michigan, a place apparently dubbed “America’s Summer Golf Capital.” Which is kind of nice if you associate summer with screwing around on the green.
Anyway, this isn’t just the story of the 1 percent who have all the flashy clubs and can hit a 300-yard drive in their sleep. No, it’s more like the blog that speaks to golf’s 99%—you know, the regular folk. The ones playing with decade-old clubs and a love for the game that just won’t quit, no matter how pesky family or work can be sometimes. We all know how time-consuming loving something can be. Yet, do we love love any less? Nah. Always comes back to haunt us with fond memories and that undying call to the greens.
So, who exactly is this GolfBlogger? It’s part of the esteemed Golf Writers Association of America. Yeah, they’re legit. The quirks are there, but nothing says serious about the game like being part of a whole writers association just for golf!
Let’s break from the main stage and head into the sections for a sec. Categories run wild here. They’ve got everything from the ridiculously specific (Wedges! Like, what?), to the tellingly broad (Fitness! Food! Both equally important for different reasons). There are also some more sentimental choices like “Mental Golf Tips,” which probably get right into your golfer’s psyche. Deep stuff. And “Humor,” because golf can be funny. Don’t anyone kid themselves.
Oh, and this blog has archives. If you’re that dedicated, you can go back and peel back the layers of golfing history here, all the way till the very start in 2004. Talk about diving deep, huh?
GolfBlogger runs like a conversation more than just a stiff list of facts and figures, and isn’t that kinda what we need sometimes? Something that gives us the vibes we’re chatting holes-in-one over drinks with a buddy rather than slogging through another day at the desk.
But I digress. It’s about golf. It’s about stories. It’s about seeing an old sport through totally human eyes. GolfBlogger is one for us—fixations, familial obligations, and outdated clubs included. Which, let’s be real, probably end up being one of the best parts.
