It’s been a rainy and gloomy week here in Southern California, but sometimes for us hardcore golfers it can be advantageous when the fair-weather players stay at home. Actually, I might have abstained myself today had I not already pre-paid for my tee time earlier in the week (when the forecast for the weekend looked... Continue Reading →
Product Review: Voice Caddie VC200 GPS Rangefinder
With a new year not far around the corner (assuming we all survive the Mayan Calendar Apocalypse on December 21), it’s time to introduce a new feature to the Bogeys Across America blog. I want to occasionally do product reviews. For the most part, it’s stuff I am buying and playing myself (balls, clubs, shoes,... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Twin Oaks Golf Course
The finale of my Thanksgiving weekend local golf adventure found me at Twin Oaks Golf Course down in San Marcos. It’s a course I’ve been wanting to play for some time, so today was finally the day. I didn’t know much about this course prior to earlier this year. I was playing a round at... Continue Reading →
Blue Skies and Green Grass on Black Friday
With a long holiday weekend, of course I wanted to squeeze in a few rounds of golf. But after my Bay Area trip last week, I really didn’t want to take another overnight trip or drive anywhere too far. At the same time, I still wanted to feel like I “got away” at some point... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort
You could say Black Friday came a day early. After all, when it came to golf on this Thanksgiving Day, the deals were aplenty. The one I couldn’t resist, however, was GolfNow’s “hot deal” rate at Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort. They had a nice late morning time (10:56) for $50. On top of that,... Continue Reading →
Go Ahead, Make My Day
Well, I’m back home from my Bay Area trip. I got a lot to catch up on, but not as much as I hoped. Thursday, we played at Quail Lodge & Golf Club in beautiful Carmel, CA. Our tee time wasn’t until noon, so we had a nice lazy morning (which I am not used... Continue Reading →
Having Fun with a Bayonet
I wasn’t sure if I’d write anything about my current trip until I got back, but I do have some time to kill this morning. I can cover yesterday’s events. The next two days will be written about when I get home this weekend. Earlier this year, a friend of mine and I decided to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Los Amigos Golf Course
Yes, I am aware that it’s a little funny that, of all courses I could have picked to play today, I picked the one with “Amigos” in the name. In fact, it’s one of the reasons I chose it. If you are unaware of why this might be a tiny bit funny, just check out... Continue Reading →
Amigos, Amigos, Amigos!
Today was the final event of the Los Angeles Golf Group 2012 season. I just joined this group earlier this year and have enjoyed the friendly competition and camaraderie. It took place at Olivas Links up in Ventura, so naturally I made a full day of it. I always like playing “warm-up” rounds before these... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Journey at Pechanga
Three-word review: Worth the wait! Long-winded review: Wow! What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday, I was slated to play the highly touted Journey at Pechanga course for the first time. However, the weather was so ugly when I showed up, that I decided to cancel my tee time and play Summerly instead. I... Continue Reading →
