Well, it’s my final night here in America’s 49th state. In my mind, it’s the 28th as that’s the number it represents in my personal goal to play all 50. There’s still plenty of daylight tonight and I’ve become accustomed to the crazy hours here during Solstice week, so I figure I’ll just power through... Continue Reading →
Last but not least is a final midnight sun tourney at Eagleglen Golf Course on Elmendorf AFB. Last round of trip and heading home tomorrow.
Days 1.5 & 2 in Alaska: Fun Under the Midnight Sun
Even though there are probably more interesting things I could be doing tonight in Fairbanks (it is the Summer Solstice after all), I really want to catch up a little bit on the blog posts for my friends back home who have been following here and on Facebook/Twitter all week. Thanks, everyone! I filled you... Continue Reading →
It cleared up nicely for my second round in Fairbanks at North Star Golf Club. Rough around the edges as a pastoral links layout. Most interesting quality is that it’s the northernmost USGA rated course.
Drizzly afternoon after long drive up to Fairbanks. Playing China Bend GC, which is located on the Ft. Wainwright Army base. Fun forested course, but mosquitoes out in full force today!!!
Tonight’s course was Palmer GC. No relation to Arnie. Flat, dusty and windswept track, but surrounded by a ring of stunning mountains.
Sorry, no full stories/pix today. Not enough time in between rounds. Tough to keep up!
First course today is Settlers Bay in Wasilla. Gorgeous setting in Mat-Su Valley. Better conditioning than courses yesterday, too.
Not done yet tonight. Late round at Anchorage Golf Course. Hope to be here past midnight. Loving this course so far. My type of layout!
Day 1 in Alaska: Running with the Mooses
Yes, I know the plural is just “moose,” but it’s more fun the other way. And no, I haven’t encountered a moose or any other interesting wildlife yet. I sure hope to, though I can do without any up-close bear confrontations! This is going to be an interesting trip. I am not sure when I’ll... Continue Reading →
