Part 3 of this journey took me from Seattle/Tacoma, WA and ultimately led me back home to Orange, CA: Luckily, after my hellish run through Vancouver and into Seattle, I had a bit of time to relax the next morning. I stayed across the lake in Kirkland, but I got some much-needed sleep after such... Continue Reading →
The Infamous 2007 Road Trip, Part 2: Experiencing Both Heaven and Hell in Canada
Okay, so where was I? Oh yeah, I had just finished my round at Old Works in Montana and now I am on the road again, heading west toward Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It was a cool drive through the mountains, but I almost killed myself trying to stop and get the state sign… (By the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: River View Golf Club (Santa Ana, CA)
Let me start this review by stating that I don’t hate River View as much as most people do. I certainly don’t love it, but it is what it is. River View features a very wacky layout, to say the least. The unconventional scorecard features seven par-3’s, five par-5’s and six par-4’s. So in some... Continue Reading →
The Infamous 2007 Road Trip, Part 1: Desert Heat, a Yellowstone Treat and Bunkers that Were Neat
As I look forward to this May when I have my next big Golf Nomad adventure planned through Southwest and Midwest states, I can’t help but think back to my other massive golf road trip in 2007. I also wanted to celebrate the fact I finally got my own custom domain name for this site... Continue Reading →
The “Checklist State” Golf Nomad Tour – May 2012
My next big Golf Nomad trip is coming up in early May. It just hit me this weekend how it is only a month away. I had previously picked out my driving routes and which courses I’d ideally like to play, but nothing is set in stone yet. So these next few weeks will be... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Golf Club of California
I played at The Golf Club of California in Fallbrook yesterday. I had a groupgolfer.com voucher I needed to use before it expired. It was good only weekends only after 11:00, so I called ahead in the morning and they said they had a group right at 11:00 I could join as a single, which... Continue Reading →
Match Play Weekend: The Highs and Lows
Well, this past weekend was all about “match play.” As I’ve mentioned, I signed up for the GK Cup Match Play tournament on Greenskeeper.org. This was my first year participating, so my expectations weren’t too high because I haven’t really played much competitive golf and match play is a different mindset than normal. Either way,...

Getting Caught Up…
As I sit around on what is a rainy weekend here in Southern California, I figured I’d get caught up and post some reviews and photos of the courses I’ve been playing the past few weeks. Three weeks ago, I visited Green River. Two weeks ago, I went down and played Escondido Country Club for... Continue Reading →
GK Match Play
I signed up for the latest Match Play championship on Greenskeeper.org earlier this week. It’s the third time they’ve done this event, but it’s my first time playing. I wasn’t playing a lot of golf the first time they did it and then I was a little too late to join up last year, so... Continue Reading →
Another Visit to California’s Central Coast
With a three-day President’s Day weekend, I figured it was another good excuse to get out of town for one of my little overnight golf trips. I always enjoy my trips up the Central Coast—just far enough outside of the city to feel like a true getaway, but still close enough it’s not too much... Continue Reading →
