I came across a really interesting site today known as oobgolf. Launched in late 2006, the site provides amateurs with many cool features to play with. Did I mention it’s free!

You can transmit your score from each hole from a web based cell/ blackberry. Scores are tabulated from local and nationwide leader-boards. Each person has a profile page listing their scores and other preferred information. Another awesome feature is creating a personal ‘on line’ golf bag. ( I think they need to have some of our bags in their accessory section) Once you add a product to your bag you can actually rate it in several categories, you can also track your performance with the clubs you actually use.

There are so many other features to choose from searching tournaments in specific countries, building groups, course reviews & a search engine that shows you a local map of each course and witty golf blogs & articles that wont have you yawning. It just goes on from there, it’s the facebook (crackbook) for anyone who even just likes golf!

Get oob’ing - that’s what I’ll be doing tonight.

There is a cool event happening tomorrow night at Golf Town in Etobicoke.

Courtney Billing will be hosting a private event for ladies only - ( thank god no husbands or partners can attend). There will be free instructional clinics, awesome shopping and yummy food. Not too mention, prizes. This event will be the kick off for Links for Women fall instructional clinics, I think it’s a great way to take in some instruction before the snow touches down. Those are tough words but last years memory of winter still chills me to the bone. Why not think ahead to practicing up for a golf/ beach vacation this year. Hm-mm say some where in the Caribbean? If the evening strikes a cord, you can sign up for a 4 part series for a very reasonable price. Get your girls out and try to attend, I’ll be there with mine.

Details:

Date: Sunday Sept. 21, Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm and opening night is free!

As I reported earlier Chip Chic Golf sponsored a corporate team at the Golf Fore the Cure National Event held this past Monday at the Toronto Ladies Club (the only private women’s club in North America!) The event was a truly excellent experience from registration, good swag, the RCGA staff and volunteers, a lunch & dinner to be remembered. The playing field involved 150 female players from novice to pro. This event provides something for each player.

Each group was treated to a team photograph with Alena Sharp, then of course for a worthy donation each player could compete with Alena for the closest to the pin shot. My team came close but Alena came closer, next year, my friend, I’ll ace it!

Talking about goals, the Golf Fore the Cure program has raised $459,206, this year the event has set a goal at $550,000. With the amazing stories shared that evening at dinner, I know this event will exceed this years goal to support the best research for breast cancer in Canada.

Second to the cause, Chip Chic Golf debuted part of the upcoming Spring/ Summer 2009 designs - the ‘Clearly Yours Collection’.

I recruited the services of our in-house male model Raymond. I think he enjoyed entertaining the ladies, but he froze his ___ off. Opps, sorry Ray! I promise next time it won’t be the hot pink speedo.

I know it sounds very gushy, but this event was perfect to the tee! Chip Chic Golf is in for next year.

Thanks to my team: Dawn Lewis, Courtney Billing & Erica Westeroth
