Hey all, May 2018 bring more kindness and empathy. This is the last picture I took for 2017. What will the new year bring? Stay curious. Funny that today is National Bacon Day. I ate bacon 2X today, so good.
Quick Review of Law 11: Offside for Parents and Volunteer Coaches
Ok, pop quiz for parents and coaches of youth soccer players: For U10 and U9 matches with the new build out line….where can an offside offense occur on the pitch? I’ll have the answer at the end. A lot of parents lose their minds if not familiar with this age group rule! Here’s a quick…
How Far Does a Soccer Ref Run During a Tournament Day?
I’m 18 months into reffing youth soccer matches here in Bucks County, PA. I’ve enjoyed the continual process of learning about the Laws of the Game in match situations. The game is so different from U8 level up through U16 (my experience so far) in terms of skill, speed and yes, aggression! One question I am asked…

Golf Thoughts from Canada and the Grateful Golfer
Life continues to plod along whether we want it to or not. It never stops and for the most part, it is at a pace that allows us to enjoy the ride. I do not have any real golf musings today, but wanted to share a couple of thoughts. via Being Mindful Today — The Grateful…
The Grid Begins for My Kitchen
I’m moving my The Inefficient Kitchen site over to The Grid. The site will be down until at least morning, then I’ll see how she’s working. I’ve waited over a year to do this, and am founding member 49,742 (I think). I have no idea what is going to happen, what it will grow into. I’m intrigued […]
Golfers want to buy a better game
Look at 3 different golf coach/golf course websites, navigate to “lessons” and see if you can find a success story or any reasons why you should engage with that coach or course. Watch the video version I bet at least 2 will have “1 lesson = $ or buy 3 for $ and save X”…
I like golf technology in general…
…especially technology that fits in my iPhone. Jason Blonder is a coach in NJ and uses a cool app called Shot Tracer, and in this video, explains how he likes to use this tool for not only his clients, but for his own game. Cool stuff! The Grateful Golfer, have you ever used this app? Jason’s…

Golf Pros – stop doing nothing and grow
Here’s a quick client campaign success story shows the benefit of “actively engaging” with your golfers. I’ll call it “How to Make $25K in 12 Hours”. PGA Professionals can definitely make it rain. I hear the comment all too often that “the industry is in trouble, too many people don’t play enough, not enough people…
Growing up
Even though my girls caught the soccer buzz vs the golf buzz, I can’t help but think that at some point in the future both may discover the wonder of this game. To fun, to curiosity of shot making, to improvement in skills, to enjoyment and peace.
