Hello,

I'm a new member as well. I've been playing for about six years now. Somewere around 18. Besides playing a started to write about golf a few years ago as well. At this moment I'm writing for a dutch magazine called Golf2Day and a few websites. I write articles and columns. Unfortunately (well, that is to say) for you guys my website and the articles are in Dutch only, otherwise it would have been my pleasure to offer you something to read.

Hope to find lots of inspiration here, with best golfregards

==================================
Beside numerous Article Leftie write columns also several concerning golf. Mentioned below a flower reading. Good intentions (www.golfprofessionals.nl) 31 December, five concerning twelve. In 2006, go I undulate especially to see as a nice pastime. In 2006, I go what more time on my family to spend. In 2006, I go no longer each weekend to the club. In 2006, I go nothing more must. In 2006, I will play also in the winter. In 2006, I not only discuss in the winter with a case my back the job. In 2006, I go no longer at each buitje immediately to 19th the hole. In 2006, I will buy no longer each new pinch. In 2006, go I what improve to my spullen to pay attention. In 2006, I go my sport what more serious to take. In 2006, I will stick a beetje once to the determined round times. In 2006, I will practise more. In 2006, I will listen níet more to all goedbedoelde tips. In 2006, I will take also but again lesson. In 2006, I will listen to my pro. In 2006, I will bring it learned also real in practice. In 2006, I go what more often to a short job to plane to my game. In 2006, I will look at nevertheless if I can find the oefengreen still. In 2006, I will use the ball card for the range also. In 2006, I will no longer only play for the points. In 2006, I go what rather to the job. In 2006, I will exploit that time also to warm up me. In 2006, I will cross out the word Mulligan from my vocabulary. In 2006, I will finish never more ' just as ' putje. In 2006, I will stop with slicen. In 2006, I will stop with hooken. In 2006, will think in never more of the yips. In 2006, I will think never more of shank. In 2006, I will live more pleasure to golf. In 2006, I will hand in the score card of each round. In 2006, I will reduce my handicap at last once. In 2006, I there also go to wérken. In 2006, I continue simply the complete year with game... Verhip, are it again March? Where its my golf shoes? Where is my trolley? Where its my catch? Hé? Does a banana see zó after 4 months? I still just as lesje am able book? That new driver is nevertheless very beautiful! And these for the has I in fact also quite long. A new competition? Yes, nicely! Day values, I go... (... in 2007, no good intentions take more...)

I am left! (golf2day) , I would want ' Goh that I was left-handed '. Without a track of irony my flightgenoot spoke this now already memorable sense. 8 words, 33 characters. A seemingly small observation but inconceivable large stupefaction. I tasted to the words and let them as a good mouthful wine go around. These not yet knew I and it tasted certainly to more, but I it now well had heard? That was not possible nevertheless almost? This way nonchalant possible thus my ' hoezo ' followed? Children who ask are skipped I of house from had suddenly got and sounded it as a naijlende echo. Therefore, now not too gretig happen carefully. How larger the interest how larger the vexation soon nevertheless laughs as breaks through and it ' simply ' a joke proves be. My playing partner seem however blood-serious. Nou, linkshandigen are zóveel improve with the short game. Look to Mickelson, the absolute king of the lobwedge. Phil and are flopshot, unequalled. He can work magic simply. And not only he. So many linkshanders are possible gvb-niveau much improve from the feet around the green and with the wedge, also on. Still suspicious monster I him. He nevertheless does not stand confessed as a fun trousers. He will it think then really? Wannabe-leftie probably see my ongeloof because without further insisting he continues still even concerning more creative lord halves, visualisatiemogelijkheden and larger sensitivities. I weet not what I hear. All the jokes, the strange instructions, the material worming excursion prove to be all the price which must be paid for the jealousy concerning ' our ' short game. If I bends himself some minutes later concerning my ball a short battle against the hillock and concerning a file small trees gone a shot from the category to make, impossible, does not descend an admirable and earlier felt rest concerning me. I am left! 102 Db (www.golfprofessionals.nl) Hundred and two decibels. If you do not improve know you will swear that it was the jingle of or an other radio pirate. Just as the eyes near and shout-ugly exactly - and the tympanum ' lustre now to 102 decibels, also at ú in the buurt '. The data figures have much with sound but unfortunately do nothing with radio. Jammer, that can you turn off at least still. That goes at for the Sjarapova nevertheless a piece more cumbersome, the more so if she stands on the job. This Russian youth has recently had to the doubtful honour a new establish ' sound record '. You must nevertheless what will have thought them with already your meetapparatuur along the job. But now nearly each young meid harder beats the ball than the crow in its best days the speed obviously no more issue is. And this way it could happen that by the lanky Monica Seles the used recent development to groan that at each geslagen ball it a kind desire was data became. And there where at the small little girls it still slightly to understand layman decreased, and remaining physical wash the term with increasing muscle strength. Do you realise yourself, however, how that is? 102.2 decibel? A politiewagen which drives past with screaming sirens obtains miserable 80 on the meter and even low overscherende F16 must recognise be several: up to only 100db this tympanum cursor reaches... What does this with golf have do? Nothing and nevertheless more than you thinks. This way not yet a very long time ago scarcely 16 a person whose birthday it is kondigde lady to the ranks of the profgolfers reinforce to will. Who? That for a nobody question will be, he who natural. And looking at to this extraordinary brio which with already its skills, strength and souplesse ready state had conquer the world I suddenly to think of the clamour on the ever also this way bedaagde court. Why have does so much herrie be produced there and can Michelle who these breaking loose master? Or is wait the moment she comes that she will beat then nóg further? I hou my heart permanently... Where I that also that is the fact that he who on one part of the game anyway does not seem oneself be able master: taking part in on the mannentour. Of course, it sells if crazy and also I gladly the head of Hootie would see Johnson the moment she is correct effectively on the poorten of Augusta. And now The open poorten also its for taking part in ladies. A worrisome development or the ultimate elliptic steps? Personally I no longer fear for the future of the lady golf as by (s) at its sex-enjoyed show. With the danger that the LPGA will lead exactly a destitute existence such as the European damestour on which an only some can deserve convened slice of bread. The number of little girls and women that physical able is come along with the boys and lords is smaller than the group which is here, however, able. The consequence can be guessed: less and less little girls who go undulating because there are tóch no chance on flow to the top. At the cost of everything must nevertheless occur to become that concerning a couple year the question must be asked: lady golf? Who does to that nou still? But cut down yes, as Jean of its sense gets, however, again complete differently becomes... is golf possible everything as a new form of korfbal?

Well, the fish sure does miss some words....

I use it to get a general idea of what is being said, not perfect. Do you want this taken off?

No, no problem at all. It's just very funny to see wat a computer does with something so human as the written word. A lot gets lost in translation but the main part stays.

Thnx
