Eat Golf sighting

Eat Golf is one of the biggest and possibly most frequented golf blogs in existence. There hasn’t been a new post there since April 2007, but it’s far from dormant.

The site is run by my good friend Rich, who has provided us with some great internet golf tools over the years. There’s the Eat Golf Price Shopper, which lets you type in any golf product name and it brings back prices from all over. Then you’ve got the Eat Golf Discussion Forums, which is a handy place to read and participate in multiple boards from across the web.

And don’t forget the Eat Golf Blogroll, which not only lists more golf blogs than I can keep track of, it also shows each site’s most recent headline. Just the headline, he’s not one of those content stealers. No way, there’s an enormous amount of original content on Eat Golf! Rich is one of the funniest guys I know. His sense of humor is all over his blog, so dig around! Oh let’s see, what else – you have Gear reviews, a photo blog (he has photographed TONS of golf courses and pros!), a golf dictionary, a golf news aggregator, and of course, the Golf Course searcher.

I’m telling you, this guy is brilliant. Lately he’s been so entrenched in other projects, he hasn’t put up anything new. Of course, he doesn’t really have to – his site just sits there running itself, getting loads of visitors anyway. But I miss him and want him to start posting again, and I can’t be the only one!

The sighting

Anyway, here’s the news: I hadn’t seen Rich in months and we’ve hardly even emailed each other, but on New Year’s Eve while Greg and I were out celebrating, Rich correctly guessed our location and stopped in to surprise us. What a terrific surprise it was! We caught up on one another’s lives and reminisced about old times. After all, he was the one who suggested I start this blog in the first place, back when there weren’t many golf blogs at all, let alone female golf bloggers. We were friends before I even took up golf but I was aware of his passion so he was one of the first people I played with when I started. Good times.

More Eat Golf!

In our excitement, Rich was re-energized about Eat Golf and said he would post something new soon, and (I hope) start to do it more regularly again.

So here I am calling him out and trying to hold him to it: Rich, you promised (I think)! If you know and like Eat Golf, let him know you want more!

P.S. Rich: Don’t forget to sign back up for our golf club. I hope to see you at Elkins Ranch!

Next post.
