Golf Course Ladder -- Golf Clubs, Golf Courses, and Golfing

Add Latest Golf Posts To Your Website

Apparently this has ability has been built into wordpress for quite some time but a friend of mine recently pointed up that it can be done (pfblogs popular posts added to sidebar.)  Here is the wordpress codex for this feature: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_rss.

To add the latest golf posts to my sidebar I added the following to my theme…

<h3>Latest Golf Posts</h3>
<?php 
// Get RSS Feed(s)
include_once(ABSPATH WPINC ‘/rss.php’
);
$rss fetch_rss(http://www.bloggersgolf.com/feed’
);
$maxitems = 10
;
$items array_slice($rss->items0$maxitems
);
?>

<ul>
<?php if (empty($items)) echo ‘<li>No items</li>’
;
else
foreach ( 
$items as $item ) : 
?>
<li><a href=’<?php echo $item[‘link’]; ?>‘ 
title=’<?php echo $item[‘title’]; ?>‘>
<?php echo $item[‘title’]; 
?>
</a> (<?php echo $item[‘dc’][‘creator’]?>)</li>
<?php endforeach; 
?>
</ul>


Not Enough Golf

First Too Much Golf and now not enough golf.  Since my 3 days in a row I have yet to play again.  Now that I am on vacation for a family emergency it is looking like I won’t get to play again for at least another couple of weeks.

There goes any touch I had developed lately.  I am going to fill in posts in the coming days with golf course review posts.  I have played a large number of courses and some fairly regularly.  I am also going to write a post about a 2 man gambling golf game that I have been playing a bit lately.

The best thing about taking a little break from golf is that you forget your bad habits.  The problem is you also forget any good habits.  (I don’t have many good habits so I am ok).


Welcome to My Golf Blog

This a blog about golf.  The great maddening game of golf.  I will cover golf course reviews, golf club reviews, golf gambling, and golf news.

I try to play as often as I can.  I love to play.  I wish I played better.
