On Sunday, a friend and I drove down to Santee (just east of San Diego) to check out this course. I had previously purchased a voucher on Underpar.com that was a great deal. It was $74 for two players and included a same-day replay round, so $37 a piece was a steal for this course... Continue Reading →
Oregon 2013: Review & Awards
I didn’t have much of a break between big trips this year and I ran myself pretty ragged throughout the past 6-7 weeks on a number of different local road trips, the big vacation in Alaska and then this longer road trip into Oregon. Still, I’ve been having a lot of fun and my recent... Continue Reading →
A Solid Conclusion in Southern Oregon
I’m back home in Southern California. There’s no time to rest for me, though, as I need to get caught up on the final couple of rounds I played in Oregon.

A Little Bit of Home Cookin’
I’m spending 4th of July in my hometown of Crescent City, CA. Of course, when I come back home, I always like teeing it up on some of the local courses and enjoying a bit of nostalgia...

The “Other” Bandon Courses
After a couple days in Bend, we headed toward the coast on the way back to my hometown of Crescent City, CA (just south of the Oregon border). The drive was a little longer, but it was an excuse to check out the other two courses in Bandon that I hadn’t played yet. One is... Continue Reading →

Yesterday afternoon it was Arnie at The Running Y Ranch. Today it was Jack’s turn to try and wow me with his Oregon masterpiece… Pronghorn (Nicklaus Course) • Bend, OR • 6/30/13 This was the central round for my entire trip. On most any ranking list I see, numbers one and two in the Central... Continue Reading →
Central Oregon, Part 1: A Long Drive with Endless Rewards
Well, I guess I lied when I posted last night about not being able to update my blog from the road the next few days. That may still hold true after today, but I got a very quick early morning round in today and have a few hours to spare before my late afternoon round... Continue Reading →
Ore-gone Road-Tripping Again!
Not much of a break after the Alaska trip, so I am back on the road in Oregon right now. Unfortunately, I know the next few days are going to be chock-full of golf and family time, so I’m not sure when I’ll be able to sit down, write full reviews and post lots of... Continue Reading →
Alaska Trip 2013: Review & Awards
Well, I survived my trip to Alaska without a bear attack. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any encounters at all with the famed wildlife of America’s 49th state. I was so disappointed, I had to go to the zoo in the morning before my flight just to see a dang moose! Beyond that, everything went exceedingly... Continue Reading →
