I’ve said this before, but I really want to say it again: One of the things I love about blogging is developing cyber-friendships with interesting, fun people I would probably never meet otherwise.
One of my favorite blogger friends is Rick Williams who lives near Philadelphia. He’s the U.S. Campaign Manager for RetailTribe, a company that, well, I don’t really don’t know anything about.
He’s also a PGA Pro who finds golf – – WAIT, I NEED TO SAY SOMETHING HERE, “Mom, Richard, Bobby, Danny, Mary, Warren, Barbara, and all my other golf friends, including me, please sit down before you read the rest of this sentence, “a peaceful, meditative activity.”
Rick is a great writer who has a healthy approach (golf term!) to life, family, food, fun, and, of course, golf.
I don’t remember how we found each others’ blogs, but for me, it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I can’t speak for Rick.
Wherever I am, if I see something cool that’s golf-related, I like to send pictures to Rick, such as these from a road-trip to French Lick, Indiana in October 2014.
You might be wondering why I’m writing about Rick Williams and golf on a snowy day in Chicago in January. Well, the answer lies (another golf term!) in the last two photos below.
But first, I need to set the scene:
And now for the best part…
So, now, wherever I am, if I see something funny that’s golf-related, I’ll send those photos to Rick, as well. No one likes to slice or hook a ball, but this is ridiculous! Poor club selection, perhaps?

Hey LCH – you got nice balls on your property! Great blog! Looooooooooooooove the pictures of French Lick !!!!
Hi, my sister, Beth! It’s gorgeous there! The last time I was there it was completely different. You have to stand inside the atrium to believe how enormous it is. So cool!
Liked your blog. Just had lunch, in the atrium, in the West Baden Hotel on Mon. Come on down for the tournament! Come down anytime, we’d love it!
What a great idea! I didn’t even think of going! I’m sure Richard would love to. Plus, I’d get to be with my sister and brother from another mother!
i agree, the connections with others are what make blogging so great. at least the balls weren’t deflated due to ‘the weather’ like with our current football scandal )
Hi, the other Beth!
I can’t just say Beth because my sister gets upset. I agree! It’s so cool that I’ve met you, Rick, and so many other people through blogging. I don’t keep up as much as I’d like but I’m trying to figure out a schedule (a very foreign word to me!) so I can catch up reading and commenting on one day, writing another few days, and the million other things I need to do. I’m so glad to know you! Thanks for always liking and commenting!
If you leave those golf balls where they are, you might get some chicken or duck to make it her nest, and you’ll get eggs, and maybe babies. Are you cool with that? If not, I know 8 hens who could use them.
Sharon, what a great idea! You’re always thinking of great ways to repurpose, reuse, and recycle!
I really hope neither you nor Tom Brady deflated those balls!
Hey, Paulo! Great comment! Thanks for reading. Check out Rick’s blogs. He’s a cool guy, like you!
