PRELUDE: I was a golf widow. My husband [former film producer Morgan Mason] took up the game and became completely obsessed. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Four years ago, I got the bug.

 

FAVORITE COURSES: I take lessons at Cannes-Mougins, here in Provence, and I also play at my husband's course, Domaine de Terre Blanche. We have a place in Austria, and there's a course nearby called M�sern. It's up in the Alps and it's so beautiful.

 

GOLF DUET: Every Monday I play with a friend who has a 27-handicap. We drop the kids off at school and go to Cannes-Mougins. I do love it, but I find 18 holes is a lot of work.

 

THE ALLURE: I like the Zen aspect of the game and hanging out in the sunshine. And the smells. No matter how I play, I have a good time.

 

STRENGTHS: I'm good at putting and can read greens well. It's one of my gifts.

 

PERFECT HARMONY: When I sing, I sometimes feel a connection to a power greater than myself. It feels very similar to being in the zone while playing golf.

 

STYLE POINT: I'm still a punk rocker at heart. Anything conservative is so not me. When I play, it's I Love Lucy with an edge.

 

BACK IN PLAY: It's hard to be consistent with all my travel. I just started playing again and was horrified by how much I'd regressed. That's why people quit. But when you hit that one good shot, that's what keeps you coming back.
