Thursday's Game
Thursday's Game: Notes from a Golfer with Far to Go | Tom Chiarella
76 posts
Tom Chiarella gets to play courses that most duffers can only dream of -- leaving divots, lost balls, and the occcasional picture-perfect pin shot in his wake. Chiarella is the serious amateur, the humbled hacker, and the appreciative fan all rolled into one. Golfers everywhere will identify with his tales of low-grade frustration centered on a dimpled ball and a fairway filled with traps. But these affectionate, tee-in-cheek reminiscences and respectful rantings are balanced by memories of those sublime moments when the shot rises like a rocket, straight and true, carrying over a long stretch of treacherous real estate to settle at last onto the cool comfort of the green. Thursday's Game showcases the freshest voice in golf writing today, perfect for the double-bogey man lurking in the house, that special someone who's only a new set of clubs away from breaking par.

2. Yes- But not as much since I joined Litsy- there are so many books I can be soothed by!

📚 I wish there was a plan. The most I do is keep series together.

📚 On my lone bookshelf (owned books) and a windowsill (borrowed books).

📚 Paperback is preferred, but I‘ll cave on a good ebook deal.

🎃 Good overall - with a few ups and a few downs!
🎃 our lounge furniture is arriving - the room has been empty and waiting for 4 months - so excited to see the room come together and to have somewhere cosy to cuddle up.
🎃 I‘m grateful my mum has got through the week - she bravely underwent a procedure yesterday and I‘m thankful she‘s feeling well.

How‘s things with you - @UwannaPublishme @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego ?

🧇 Chaffles, actually (keto)
🍰 Cheesecake
📚 Hardcover
🍫 Sweet

Bklover Ok, I don‘t know what a chaffle is. I‘ll probably want one. 4y
a.bookish.byrd @Bklover LOL...they are waffles made of cheese, egg and a little almond flour usually. Delicious with sugar-free syrup. Lots and lots of flavor options. Sweet or savory. Also great as a bread substitute on a low carb diet. So good! (edited) 4y

To be honest..I'd choose both for each question! Pancakes, waffles, cake, pie, books in all forms, and spicy WITH sweet! 😍

Thanks @ElizaMarie for the tag. I need to do these more. I tend to forget about them. #ThoughtfulThursday @MoonWitch94

Pancakes I think. I do like both.

Cake.. definitely cake!

For buying I do paperbacks cuz they are cheaper (I try to do things cheaply as possible since I dont work, Hubby does!) But for looks, I love Hardcover.

Sweet! When it comes to spicy, I just cant. I think pepperoni is spicy! haha

I suck at tagging people... so do it!

ElizaMarie Ha! I get you with the “cheap” feeling. I feel like this when I buy myself gifts (I feel guilty but... I mean I am getting better with this!) 4y
MoonWitch94 I like buying paperbacks for others, but totally agree with you that Hardcover is just so pretty most times. Thanks for playing 🎂 4y
AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie This is going to sound bad.... but I ask my hubby if i can get stuff. I feel bad becuz i dont make the money in the house and we have kids (so they come first). But if we have alittle money, I will ask for something once in a while. 4y

Revenge4bess Pancakes. Depends on the cake or the pie flavor. 4y
Revenge4bess Hard cover. And sweet. 😉 4y
ElizaMarie @AkashaVampie it doesn't sound bad at all! I kinda do the same. Like our finances are bit different (as we both work, we don't really share money) but I usually feeling guilty buying myself stuff that I end up buying him a gift or buying someone else a gift to offset that guilt. Its dumb but.. yeah! 4y
