Melba - The Where's My Ball? Golfer |
| My name is: |
Melanie Ringler |
| I live in: |
Vancouver, BC, Canada, born and raised |
| My blog: |
My blog will focus on the beginner woman golfer's experiences. |
| About my golfing: |
My first experience golfing was 6 years ago at my old company's golf tournament. You can read my first golfing experience story here. I am resigned to the reality that I will always be a beginner golfer and tee-off from the ladies markers. I am one of the biggest whiners on the fairways. I am always in competition with myself, striving for the recreation of that perfect shot or that impossible long putt. I play golf with my husband and the big boys. My gal friends only do pitch-n-putt. Ladies, let's get out there! |
| Favourite golf course: |
Burnaby Mountain - I can play a decent game here. |
| What's in your golf bag: |
I have clones and I dig 'em!
Edison Lady Quest Titanium Graphite RH Petite Ladies and customized to my vertically-challenged size. |
| Favourite golf quote: |
"I beat Tiger Woods!!!" ~ my dad, age 70+ years and an avid Wii golfer. He plays a round of Tiger Woods golf on the Wii daily when he is not golfing for real. |

The Huatang International Golf Club in Beijing, China is a truly enjoyable gem of a course. It is a 35 minute drive from the China World Trade Center via Jintong Express Way & Jingha Highway. Check out the posted photos!

Richmond, British Columbia, Canada |
| My blog: |
My blog will focus on the many golf courses I have been fortunate to play. I will also be blogging about the antics of the Whiners Golf Club. |
| About my golfing: |
I owe my passion for golf to my grandfather from Broadstone, England, a very stately gentleman, who was a scratch golfer for most of his life. I started about 15 years ago playing one Saturday a month. Now... well... I'm addicted! |
| Favourite golf course: |
Locally, it would be Seymour Golf & Country Club in North Vancouver. Internationally, it would be among three courses - Fuego Maya in Guatemala, Broadstone and Dorset Country Club in England, and Huatang International Golf Club in Beijing.
|
| What's in your golf bag: |
My trusty "Wally Wacker" (15 year old driving iron worth $25),Taylormade irons and a Tommy Armour Putter. My "balls" are Taylormade Burners.

| Favourite golf quote: |
"If it doesn't get there.......It won't go in."

Westwood Plateau sits high on Eagle Mountain in Coquitlam, BC, about 40 minutes drive from Downtown Vancouver. Built in 1995, it is one of the newer golf courses in Greater Vancouver. Pristine grounds and excellent services. One-stop shop for golf.

Meadow Gardens is one of the oldest golf courses in the Greater Vancouver, British Columbia area. It has been consistently rated as one of BC’s Top 10 golf courses. Good for the average player yet still challenging for the serious golfer.
