News Flash: Girls Who Play Golf Are More Desirable Than Those Who Don't

Sorry golfer guys, seems girls go for football

We've long suspected as much, but thanks to Coffee Meets Bagel, a new data-driven dating site, we've got proof... and the provenance of this proof is the upstart matchmaker's own awesome analytics.

You see, Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB for short) has a unique approach to the online dating process, and it's an approach that has allowed the company to compile a relative wealth of meaningful data, very quickly.

The CMB site is modern and minimalistic, reflective of the 20-something-ish age demographic they appear to be targeting. The basic process is explained via this simple video from the company's website.  A "one match a day" formula, based on social networking profiles, differentiates CMB from other such sites and gives it a lighthearted, daily deal type vibe ...especially since you then have only 24 hours to like or pass on each match.  

It sounds kind of exciting, doesn't it? That and the fact that its men like women who golf make me think that if I were a bit younger... and a bit less married... I'd be signing up right here.

While the majority of golf fans are certainly focused on Medinah and Ryder Cup 2012 this weekend, many of the best women golfers on earth are engaged in an epic battle on the other side of the planet at the Japan Women's Open Golf Championship, where... despite a stellar field that includes 8 of the world's top 10 players ...  the the most feared and formidable adversary appears to be the golf course itself.  Wind-buffeted fairways and dry, speedy greens have the entire field over par going into the final round on the West Course at Yokohama Country Club.

For additional details on the 2012 Japan Women's Open you'll want to head over to Mostly Harmless, where you'll find the Constructivist, always a stellar source for news, info and insights ...in English... on the Asian women's golf tours.

For my part, I'm focusing on something a bit more, shall we say...superficial: the awesome golf outfits.  You see, not only are these ladies some of the best golfers in the world, they're also some of the best dressed.

There were dozens of great looks on display during this event, however in the interest of time, here are my top five faves:

• Megumi Kido shared the lead going into the final round. Here she is in city shorts and an oxford shirt. ...on the golf course. A novel idea. ...that looks smashing.  Here's another take on the same look.  Pearly Gates

• Ai Miyazato An international superstar and currently 6th in the world, Ai Miyazato has a style that's consistently cute, but never cloying.   Paradiso 

• Ayako Uehara  This look is certainly insolite. I love the layers and the fact that they allow a short sleeved polo dress to transcend the summer season. Ayako finished solo 7th today.   Jun & Rope

• Chie Arimura  is implausibly cute... TCFW cute...to the extent that she sometimes comes perilously close to cutsey.  However the talented top 20 player looks sporty and sophisticated in this outfit. The bold plaid, navy blue and brass buttons, assure that it strikes the right chords of cuteness without edging into the anime abyss    Viva Heart 

• Na Yeon Choi  is currently No. 3 in the world and her style is right up there too. Traditional golf elements and a modern color palette are what makes this outfit my choice for No.1.  Hazzy's

Presidential Politics, Social Media and Mitt Romney's Icy Golf Adventure

Ice Can be Awesome        photo credit: Kyle May via photopin cc

In many social media neighborhoods, tensions are running high this week.

With the US Presidential election down to the wire and polls indicating an ultra-close race, it's becoming increasingly difficult to stay above of the political fray.

Maintaining  a neutral stance can be particularly important for of those of us who use Twitter for business purposes.  However, strive as we may to refrain from commenting on politics, at this very visceral stage, such restraint can be difficult to practice

Live televised events... like golf tournaments, for example... are certainly more compelling when one watches with a group; exchanging ideas and opinions as the action unfolds. Twitter has proven a very effective platform for this kind of collective viewing... to the extent that each of the Presidential debates generated tens of millions of tweets as it aired.    So it should come as no surprise that numerous micro-blogging blunders  occurred when excessive zeal met bombastic bluster and some users seemed to forgot they were tweeting under the identity of their employer.

Thus far I've pretty much managed to keep my own political persuasions off of the social networks, and I fully intend to remain on the sidelines when it comes to online political opinionating.  However... there is a rather whimsical rumor involving one of the Presidential candidates that I'm admittedly curious about.   It has to do with Mitt Romney, a golf course and a big block of ice... and it may or may not include an arrest record.

Typically, the legend has blossomed since it made its way to Twitter recently, however I found mentions of it going back more than a year.

Basically, it's alleged that Mitt Romney was once arrested for the following infraction: sliding down the fairways of a golf course on a big block of ice... covered in a towel?  Um... what?

I tried to imagine the perfectly-coiffed Governor taking a downhill par 5 at breakneck speed on an oversized ice cube ... with only a towel to cover his modesty.  And though the image I conjured up was extremely amusing, it made about as much sense to me as the average Fellini movie.  You see, I'm a born-and-bred New Englander,  I'd never heard of ice blocking.

Ice blocking... for my fellow Northeasterners...and others unfamiliar with the practice... is "a recreational activity in which individuals race to the bottom of a hill sitting on large blocks of ice". So says Wikipedia, before adding that, "in the United States ice blocking is thought to be regional, occurring in the West". 

Disappointingly, I also came to find out that the towel is to cover the ice block, not the person riding it.  That fact took the funniness level down a notch, but left me wondering what the aspiring Commander-in-Chief would have been charged with.  After all, fully clothed, ice blocking would seem to be a fairly benign activity, wouldn't it?

Actually, it was the choice of a golf course as his ice blocking venue that got candidate Romney into trouble.  The activity is quite damaging to turf, and consequently outlawed on most golf courses and in many parks.

Mitt Romney's ice blocking adventure supposedly took place in the mid-sixties, but details are sketchy and records are sealed, making it unlikely we'll hear much else about the story ...and I don't suppose we can count on any billionaire real estate moguls to help us out with a pledge to the Governor's favorite charity.  Oh well.  I had often sensed a bit of an aversion to golf on the Republican candidate's part, now I think I have an idea of where that an aversion might have originated.

In the end, the Romney camp might actually be wise to publicize the ice blocking incident. It seems to have softened the Governor's sometimes sanctimonious image... and earned him a new level of respect with a certain demographic.  Sounds like a political strategy to me.

My Lady's Putt is so Cute - Antique Infographic Evokes Publishing's Past

To contact us Click HERE
While The Babe may not have approved, I'm quite sure "My Lady's Putt"... the humorous illustration at left... provoked ample amusement in 1930 when it was published in Punch magazine's yearly Almanack.  After all, the British weekly was the era's go-to source for sophisticated satirical humor, and competitive golf for women was still... relatively speaking... in its infancy.

The illustration is comprised of a series of whimsical golf drawings by Frank Reynolds - a British artist who often focused on golf - and each sketch features an individual woman and her own... um... unique putting style.

One woman holds a cigarette in one hand while casually putting with the other, another more determined lady reads her putts on the ground, spidermanwoman style.  Golf fashions of the day are illustrated along with the idiosyncratic putting strokes.

One can easily imagine the laughter, as upper class men passed the popular magazine around in the cloistered drawing rooms of London's venerable gentlemen's clubs.  Though many of those men no doubt recognized their own putting style somewhere in the illustration, that wouldn't have been discussed in the security of those segregated bastions.



My Lady's Putt... a modern version of it... would be unlikely to be published anywhere today. Women's golf has become so widely played - on such a high professional level - that the drawing wouldn't have much of a point. In addition, with the demise of print media, humorous illustration is now something of a dying art.  Like narrative journalism and sports cartooning, it doesn't translate well to the backlit screens where new media resides, and the short deadlines and declining budgets that digital publishers work within make the detailed illustrations of the past an impossibility.  That, I'm afraid will be a great loss for future generations as a uniquely evocative kind of visual story telling disappears.

Dubai-based Designer's Multichromatic Golf Shoe Inspired by Snoop Dogg

When it comes to golf shoes, the custom made wingtip is something of a relic.

As street style shoes have flooded the fairways of North America and rapidly made their way around the world, many recreational golfers seem to be opting for casual, comfortable sneaker-like footwear.

The majority of tour players though still wear more traditional golf shoes... as do many of the well-heeled members of exclusive private clubs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.  This is precisely the market Dubai-based Dutchman, Stephen Alexander, will be targeting with the line he'll be releasing in early February at the 2013 Dubai Desert Classic.

Crafted in Italy by iconic shoemaker Raimondi, the bespoke footwear hits a classic note, with perforations and contrasting leathers, however one unique pair of Steven Alexander golf shoes... made especially for one unique celebrity golfer... is anything but classic.

A pair of shiny red, green and yellow patent leather shoes has been made for the American singer-songwriter Snoop Dogg. The rapper's name is engraved on the heel and it seems he's delighted with the styling. So much so that he's ready to order several additional pairs. And that sounds like enough to make even Ian Poulter envious.

What Women See in Golf & How They Dominate the Category on Pinterest

Golf boards on Pinterest

Spend the day at just about any public course in the US and it's easy to see the unbalance. While men-only clubs are nearing extinction and the golf industry is increasing its efforts to attract women, golf remains a male-dominated sport.

Golf is an activity... like day trading, or running for public office... where cultural conditioning,  sexual stereotyping and... some would say... an evolutionary predisposition, have kept women underrepresented.  Quite the opposite however, is true for the newly popular activity known as pinning.  
Pinning is what people do on Pinterest, and Pinterest, for those few who don't know, is a highly visual social sharing site, that's quickly become one of the top social networks.  In fact, it's now just behind Facebook and Twitter in popularity.

The demographics of this new network are the exact opposite of those that prevail in golf, in other words, the majority (about 80%) of pinners are female.  And here's the interesting thing; though there are Pinterest categories dominated by men... Cars/Motorcycles, Technology and Guns, among others... golf isn't one of them.  Most of the Pinterest golf boards have been created by women.  They feature a lot of golf fashion, a plethora of sweet golf confections and myriad glimpses of the golf lifestyle.  Golfers, golf fans... even those who've had little exposure to the game... are likely find these boards engaging.

The golf boards created by men tend to deal more directly with the competitive side of the game. Equipment is huge on men's golf boards, as are golf training articles, but men also focus on golf course architecture and their golf boards often feature stellar golf course photography.

The differences in the way men and women use Pinterest are interesting no matter what the subject, and golf is no exception.

Merry Christmas... and a Couple of Cute Finds for the Yuletide Golfer

Christmas Golf

Back in October a Christmas wish I made.A brand new set of golf clubs before next year I played.
Then on Christmas morn, with my eyes I spied
An oblong box under the tree, with ribbon wrapped and tied.

I looked out the window and saw the ice and snow.
But in my heart I knew, a golfing I would go.
Now I'd need some special gear to play in these conditions.
So I loaded up my golf bag to start a new tradition.

A broom to sweep the greens and a hammer for the tees
And different colored balls for white I wouldn't see.
Arriving at the course, the ground was glistening white.
I wouldn't have to wait, a tee time was no plight.

I swept away a pile of snow and pounded in a tee.
Placed a colored ball atop it and swung away with glee.
My ball went soaring down the fairway and landed with a flop
Into a two foot snow drift (unplayable), take a drop.

My next shot went into the sand, a shot to truly dread.
Then all at once I spotted him, a man all dressed in red.
As I'm lining up my shot, it's Santa Claus I think,
When my ball flew in the hole, He looked at me and winked.

I knew these clubs were going to work, I'd just made a par.
Let's play one hole together before heading for your car.
To believe in Santa at sixteen, you might think it queer,
But it isn't very often you get to see reindeer.

A long par par three lay next, as we walked upon the tee.
There was no flag to aim for and the green I couldn't see
Don't worry said the man in red, I know what lies ahead.
Use your trusty five iron and aim it for my sled.

I'd like to thank you for these clubs, I wasn't sure that I would get.
He said your welcome son, but Christmas isn't over yet
I kept my head nice and still checked my stance and grip.
"Nice shot" said the bearded one, it's hanging on the lip.

It seems a shame, he must be blind, there's no ball upon the green
And I was disappointed because I'll stuck it crisp and clean
And now you know my story and no one would believe.
How I made my first hole in one with Santa there to see.

"Golf House"  Danbury, CT - December 2012   photo: © Golf Girl Media

As the final days of 2012 fly by I suppose it's natural to reflect on the passage of time.

That's what we've been doing of late, and it's inspired us to look a bit more closely at history.  The fact that we live in a historic home... in a town that was settled in 1685... means we don't have to look too far to find it.

Truth be told, for the past year we've been doing quite a bit of research on the history of our own Victorian house and the venerable Danbury, CT neighborhood that surrounds it, and... as I mentioned briefly a couple of months ago... we've discovered a fortuitous connection to our favorite obsession: golf.

Built by Scottish immigrants John and David Mclean in the1880s, for almost four decades the stately Queen Anne structure we've lived in for the past 13 years was home to another Scotsman, George Ferrier, who arrived in the US to promote golf equipment, made his way to Danbury, and in the early 20's became the golf pro at the town's new and burgeoning Ridgewood Country Club.  The dapper Scott married John McClean's daughter, Christine, in 1925 in a wedding that took place right here in the home her Father had built.  The newlyweds moved into the house and spent the rest of their lives here. George officially retired from Ridgewood in 1958 but remained active in golf in Danbury and became involved nationally with the PGA Seniors and as part of the Ryder Cup Committee.


What I've come to believe as I've explored historical archives, read old articles and spoken at length to a couple of Danbury's golf-obsessed octogenarians, is that despite the often well-deserved depictions of an elitist and exclusionary past and there are many things about the history of golf... and the people involved with it... that are interesting, inspiring and... well... awesome, to use the overwrought verbiage of today.

I look forward to finding out more about the history of our house in 2013.  I also hope to add to my nascent collection of golf memorabilia.  For inspiration, I'm happily curating virtual collections of the some of cute golf collectibles I come across. These charming golf pin markers are my current favorites:

Cast iron crow,  iron and metal heart shapes, metal putting green pins, and a logo illustration featuring Merion Golf Club's distinctive basket pins ...which will welcome players and guests to the 2013 US Open.

The Six-Hour Round

To contact us Click HERE
RECENTLY, AS YOU MAY KNOW if you follow this blog, I had the privilege of playing three exceptional golf courses in Pebble Beach: The Links at Spanish Bay, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and Pebble Beach Golf Links. It was the first time I played 18-hole rounds on three consecutive days in, well, I don’t even know—20 or 30 years.

A small fleet of golf carts. (Kinmartin)

As I’ve already reported here, it was absolutely incredible. I can also tell you that those were long rounds, each one six hours or more. Not that I’m complaining. There were some legitimate reasons why they were on the slow side. (It was a corporate event, the Lexus Champions for Charity, that loaded up three championship courses with golfers of all skill levels in a shotgun start.) Nonetheless, it got me thinking about slow play as a persistent problem of the game.

(Read How Pebble Beach Is Improving Pace of Play)

In many cases, I think slow play is ridiculous. Five or more hours to play a round of golf seem excessive. I don’t play much anymore—and I do love the game—but if it takes that long to get around, is it any wonder that people will find other things to do? I have zero desire to play five- or six-hour rounds (unless it’s Pebble, of course). I’d walk away, too. Yes, there are a lot of other sports and entertainment options and people do have short attention spans. But hasn’t the game also hurt itself immensely by evolving into a slow-play culture?

As I played at the three Pebble Beach-area courses, I was reminded of some aspects of the modern game that can slow it to a snail’s pace.

For instance, do I really need to know exact yardages? Is about 150 yards good enough, or do I need to know it’s 147 or 153? How long, and from how many angles, do I need to look at a putt? Do carts speed up the game, or does cart-path golf actually slow things down? Golfers of all skill levels used to walk and get around in four hours.

There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about what can be done to draw more people to the game. Some of the ideas are radical. I’d hate to see the game cannibalized in some respects—12-hole courses, six-hole rounds and such. I wonder what if people just played at what used to be a normal rate—two hours (or less) for nine holes and four hours (or less) for 18? Is two hours too long for a recreational activity?

If that’s too long for some people, then perhaps golf isn’t for them. I’d rather take that approach then try to turn this great game into something that’s palatable for a wider group of people—in essence, giving in to a popular culture of short attention spans and instant gratification.

In his first column for GolfChannel.com, Arnold Palmer outlined some of his concerns about the game, which included slow play:

Slow play is turning time-starved people away from the sport. We need to encourage nine-hole rounds.

I think nine-hole rounds are a great idea. But, again, what if 18-hole rounds could be played in four hours (or less)? Do you remember those days?

They weren’t really that long ago.
