Rather than sit at home in the dark and not getting any real work done, I figured I'd use... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Golf Club of Estrella
I already wrote about my warm-up and cool-down rounds at Tres Rios and Coldwater respectively, but the main course for my recent day trip to Phoenix's westside was Golf Club of Estrella in Goodyear, AZ.

February in the Bay Area, Part 1: The Delta Checklist
This week, a friend and I spent two days up in the greater Bay Area. Two days were spent in the East Bay and the third was up in the Napa Valley. When it came to the East Bay, our first focus was on the San Joaquin Delta area before we moved down toward San... Continue Reading →
Lost in the Desert
I was very happy with how easily and smoothly all my content from the old Bogeys Across America site transferred over to this new site. In fact, everything about this new site has made me happier because it actually works! Hundreds of articles and photos were pulled over from the lame Tumblr platform to the... Continue Reading →
