I told you about the two rounds I played Saturday morning in Lake Havasu, but obviously I still had a lot of daylight left to squeeze in a third round in the afternoon. Heck, I had more than enough time to play a fourth, but I thought better of it amidst the summer weather in... Continue Reading →
Western Arizona, Part 1: Goin’ to Havasu, Bro
As the work week was drawing to an end, I was feeling the itch to get on the road again this weekend. I didn’t want to go super far from home (4-5 hours max), but I also wanted to travel some place new. That really only left two options for me geographically. One destination I’m... Continue Reading →
Tri-State Trip, Day 2: On the Arizona Side of the River
Day two of my trip (Sunday) actually found me playing three rounds on the Arizona side of the state line, but I will cover two of them here. The tricky part about life in Laughlin/Bullhead City right now is that Arizona is an hour ahead of Nevada and California. They don’t follow daylight savings, so... Continue Reading →
Where the Heck is Imperial County?
It wasn’t the most glamorous road trip I’ve ever taken (especially after being up in Monterey the week before), but it had to be done. It’s no secret I have been working fast and furiously toward my goal to play all the public, regulation 18-hole courses in Southern California. As I near the bottom of... Continue Reading →
Arizona Golf Weekend, Day 2: Contrast in the Desert
I told you all about the warm-up round on the drive out to Arizona and then the fun outing at Sun City West before heading back home. But as far as golf went, Saturday was really the marquee day with the two courses we were most looking forward to on the trip... SunRidge Canyon Golf... Continue Reading →
Arizona Weekend, Days 1 & 3: The Beginning and End
After getting back from a little weekend road trip to Arizona late last night, it’s time to start getting caught up on all my reviews and photos. I was trying to decide how to break up the trip into a couple of posts. Normally, I’d go chronologically, but I decided to start with the beginning... Continue Reading →
Memorial Weekend in Arizona, Part 3…
After a long drive home yesterday, I definitely didn’t have enough energy to write a post last night. I expected some traffic coming home on Memorial Day and I got it, but it wasn’t in an area where I expected it. The I-10 between Palm Springs and Banning was a parking lot and I’m still...

Memorial Weekend in Arizona, Part 2…
Another day in the desert. Two more great golf courses! After 36 holes under the not-nearly-as-hot-as-expected-but-still-fairly-toasty Arizona sun yesterday, I was ready to tee it up again bright and early this morning. Gainey Ranch Golf Club • Scottsdale, AZ • 5/26/13 I got invited to come out and play this exclusive course today along with... Continue Reading →
Memorial Weekend in Arizona, Part 1…
I’m spending this Memorial Day weekend in the Phoenix area. I don’t know how much I’ll be able to keep up with the blog while on the road, but I’ve got some time in my hotel room to try and catch up tonight. I actually hit the road yesterday afternoon on my way to Arizona,... Continue Reading →
How One Kickoff Led to Two Touchdowns in Arizona
As I was driving toward my motel in the Phoenix area last night, I think it was fitting that I drove right past the University of Phoenix stadium–where so many big “kickoffs” have happened in recent years (Super Bowls, Fiesta Bowls, etc.). After all I was kicking off my own trip. I hit the road... Continue Reading →
