It was almost a year ago that I rediscovered my passion for the game of golf. It’s gotten even crazier since I started this blog in October. I’ve been traveling a lot, sampling a lot of new courses and exploring as much as possible. I enjoy the personal experiences at so many different courses and... Continue Reading →
Best in Class, Part 3: Everywhere Else
I finished my tour of my home state of California. Now, it’s time to spread my Bogeys Across America love for some of the top courses I’ve played elsewhere in the country. Naturally, these regions are a bit larger, but many exceptional courses will be highlighted here. As always, these are only courses that I’ve... Continue Reading →
A Nomad’s Work is Never Done
I had planned to take it easy this weekend. After five weekends in a row with a lot of driving and a lot of golf, I wanted to decompress a bit. My plan was to take a half day off of work on Friday and play in the afternoon, then have all of Saturday and... Continue Reading →
Best in Class, Part 2: Central & Northern California
Last week, I posted Part 1 of my personal “Best in Class” rankings. I featured courses in Southern California. As I head north in the Golden State, the regions spread out a bit more. Yet, there are still a lot of great courses to feature here. Keep in mind these rankings are based on my... Continue Reading →
Another Weekend. Another Golf “Ad-Ventura.”
Well, it was another busy golf weekend and another out-of-town adventure. This weekend, I headed up to Ventura. It’s really not a super far drive for me (1:45, give or take, depending on traffic), but just far enough to feel significant. Anyway, I had signed up for an outing put on by Greenskeeper.org and the... Continue Reading →
Best in Class, Part 1: Southern California
Recently, I was trying to compile my own top 10 list. In other words, my favorite 10 courses I’ve ever played. Let’s just say it was not an easy task because I’ve been fortunate to have played so many great courses throughout this country and sometimes it’s hard to compare. My list quickly went from...

Goin’ Down to Cowtown…
Other than driving along the I-5 on my way between Southern and Northern California, I haven’t spent too much time in the Central Valley. So when Greenskeeper.org put together a “GK Plays” get-together at Stevinson Ranch Golf Club in the small town of Stevinson (just a bit south of the Modesto area), I wasn’t too... Continue Reading →
Another Good Excuse to Head Up the Coast Again
It’s no secret I enjoy visiting California’s Central Coast for a little golf. I’ve slowly been working my way down the list to check out all the different courses, so it’s always a good excuse for an overnight trip. I headed out there this weekend for such a trip, and I am actually nearing the... Continue Reading →
One of the coolest features of Mt. Woodson is the long bridge between the 2nd and 3rd holes. It’s a rickety wooden bridge that’s more like a ride out of Knott’s Berry Farm than what you’re used to getting on a golf course. It’s a fun adventure, so I took a shaky little first-person video...

Another GK Day: Mt. Woodson Golf Club
Yesterday, I played in my second Greenskeeper.org event. I really enjoyed my first one at Eagle Falls earlier this year and Mt. Woodson has always been one of my favorite courses in Southern California (it’s been years since I last played there), so I’d been looking forward to it. I got there nice and early...
