My Thursday was quite busy, even by my standards, but I didn’t slow down too much over the rest of the weekend. Friday found me playing another 54 holes as I made my way up to the Monterey Peninsula. With my original Tahoe plans falling through, I figured it was a good time to visit... Continue Reading →
Western Arizona, Part 2: Odd Weather. Interesting Courses.
I told you about the two rounds I played Saturday morning in Lake Havasu, but obviously I still had a lot of daylight left to squeeze in a third round in the afternoon. Heck, I had more than enough time to play a fourth, but I thought better of it amidst the summer weather in... Continue Reading →
Western Arizona, Part 1: Goin’ to Havasu, Bro
As the work week was drawing to an end, I was feeling the itch to get on the road again this weekend. I didn’t want to go super far from home (4-5 hours max), but I also wanted to travel some place new. That really only left two options for me geographically. One destination I’m... Continue Reading →
New England Trip, Day 4: Little States With Big-Time Golf
I’m back here in Boston tonight, right where I started. I have an early flight back home to Southern California tomorrow and then back to the “normal” life again…at least until I plan another golf trip! I finished up my New England adventure with two more stops today on the way back up toward Beantown.... Continue Reading →
New England Trip, Day 3: A New York State of Mind
Okay, I don’t think New York and/or New Jersey are technically considered part of “New England” (upstate NY maybe), but that’s what I’m calling my trip. Originally, I didn’t have New York as part of my trip plans, but the temptation to play this next course was too much to pass up. I shifted some... Continue Reading →
New England Trip, Days 1 & 2: Wicked Good Times
I flew into Boston yesterday for an extended 4th of July holiday weekend. I’m hunkered down tonight on Long Island as a big storm is rolling in. Hopefully it won’t ruin my BIG golf plans for tomorrow, but we’ll see how it goes. The adventure started last night as I crossed off a big non-golf... Continue Reading →
Flashback Review: A Taste of New England
I’m heading out next week for an extended 4th of July holiday in New England. I plan to play in Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island over the course of a few days. With a very short connection in Charlotte on the flight out, I had to play it safe and ship my... Continue Reading →
Weekend in California’s Central Valley
This weekend, we had what has become an annual tradition at Stevinson Ranch for Greenskeeper.org. Though we had a smaller turnout than last year, it was still a really fun outing with the great GK members who did make the trek out to the Central Valley. As I did last year, I looked at this...

Gulf Coast Trip, Days 8 & 9: All Over Louisiana
I’m sitting here at the rinky dink Little Rock Airport. I have plenty of time to kill until my flight this evening, so hopefully I can get fully caught up on my reviews for these past two days. I’ve been all over Louisiana and it turns out there’s more to this state than swamps, though... Continue Reading →
Gulf Coast Trip, Day 7: Living Large in Mississippi and Gator Gazing in Louisiana
Today turned out to be a productive (and expensive) day, with the two biggest-ticket courses I had planned for the trip. I ventured from the southern tip of Mississippi and into Louisiana, getting to sample two great golf courses. For those of you who don’t quite understand my quest to play all 50 states–and especially... Continue Reading →
