EMBARRASSING AND INTERESTING
MOMENTS |
Dear Jenn,
The grossest thing ever happened the other day. I was playing in one of those really prestigious state tournaments and I was paired with two really snooty girls. I was on the fifth green, when I find an earthworm right in the middle of my lie. I was so grossed out. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to remove it with my putter, but one of the girls stopped me saying that I would be tampering with my lie which would result in a penalty. I had to remove that worm with my fingers! It was so gross. How could those girls have been so cruel?!
Petrified Germophobe
Dear Germophobe,
That sounds disgusting! I hate worms and all those nasty bugs, too! But that is not your real problem here. You were too worked up about the other girls being snotty, which made the whole thing worse. If you look back on this and think about the same situation with two nicer girls, it would not have been a big deal at all. You would have laughed it off and moved on. There are always going to be those girls who think they are better than everyone else. You know that these girls would NEVER have picked up a worm if it were in their line. When I have to face snotty girls, I just do my best to beat them. Try that next time instead of getting worked up over one little incidence like moving a worm. Have some hand sanitizer with you and go to the next tee!
Hope I helped!

Dear Jenn,
My golf coach tells me that there are a few things I should have in my bag for every round: a rain jacket, a protein bar, some water, sunscreen, a spare hat, as well as the usual balls, tees and markers, etc. Well, after what happened to me in my last tournament, I'm beginning to think that I should also pack a spare outfit! I arrived at the tournament in the cutest pair of short-shorts ever. I wanted to look my best because I was playing in a nationally ranked tournament. I got onto the tee and one of the tournament officials told me that if I didn't find other clothes, I would be disqualified. I was so humiliated. I had to go into the pro shop and buy the only pair of shorts available in my size which were an ugly pale green color. It was awful! To make matters worse, I was late to the tee because of my stop in the pro shop. I ended up receiving a two-stroke penalty. Next time I go to a country club, I think I'll wear ankle-length bloomers!
Shorty Mc Short-Shorts
Dear Shorty,
Ha ha ha! I starting laughing while I was reading this one! This is nothing new to me! Green is my most HATED color! Ask any of my friends or family, I just do not wear it. So I really laughed because having to wear those horrid green shorts is something that would so happen to me. This type of thing comes up all the time in our tournament series. A lot of girls try to pull it off… especially because the boys usually are finishing as we are going out. I would recommend leaving the short-shorts for the beach. They are not really appropriate golf clothes. I’m not saying that you need to wear ankle length bloomers. That is a little extreme. Try using the rule of thumb we use at my house: nothing above finger tip length. I know sometimes longer shorts and skirts are hard to find, but luckily they are coming back in style and many stores are selling them. I think you learned your lesson anyway. In my book, one pair of shorts is not worth two penalty strokes. Anyway… great for you, playing in a nationally ranked tournament! I love hearing stuff like this; it makes me feel so much better just to know that we girls truly are competing at the highest levels and showing everyone that girls are coming into this golf business strong!
Hope I helped!

Dear Jenn,
To all golfer girls out there, I don't advise drinking two Shirley Temples before your rounds. After an exciting first nine holes, my friends and I enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at our home course, during which I guzzled down not one, but two Shirley Temples. By the time we got back to our round and the tenth hole, I was starting to feel strangely. I was feeling a little rumbling in my stomach while we walked down the fairway. The four of us got to the green, and my friend, Ashley, drew back to putt. That’s when I let out a huge belch! It was so humiliating. We all laughed it off, but Ashley missed her putt. Next time, I think I'll just drink water at the clubhouse.
Gassy Girl
Dear GiGi,
I would not worry about this for a second. It may have been a little embarrassing at the time, but if Ashley is really your friend, she will get over it. But that is so awesome that you girls are out there playing! I don’t think enough girls are doing what you and your friends are doing. I think as the golfer girls of this era, it is our job to encourage more friends to hit the links. It is so hard to find a group of girls to play golf with. You all agree, I know. I mean, I have a couple of good girl friends that I can call up to go… but I know way more guys that I could call! Here is my challenge for all you girls out there that love golf and love this magazine. I want each and every one of you to get one other girl - it could be a family member, a friend, any girl out there - into golf. Email me and let me know how it goes! It sounds like you had a great time, GiGi, and I bet all of your friends have forgotten the belch by now, anyway.
Hope I helped!
