Last year, I was blown away by my experience at Bighorn Golf Club in Palm Desert. I had played in an SCGA outing and the round on The Canyons course there represented my 750th course played. What’s funny is that my round this year on The Mountains course would have been number 850 if not... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Black Gold Golf Club
Yesterday, I stayed close to home for an afternoon round at Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda. It’s a course I’ve been wanting to revisit and get a fresh experience. The only other time I played here was many years ago. I remember liking the course somewhat, but I didn’t love it. And, like... Continue Reading →
Birthday Bonanza 2015 (Continued)
I chronicled Thursday and Friday of my birthday weekend, but I still had plenty of golf in store for Saturday and Sunday, so here we go. In true Nomad style, Thursday was spent in Ventura County and Friday down in Carlsbad. Saturday found me headed east into the Coachella Valley and Sunday I was in... Continue Reading →
New England Trip, Day 4: Little States With Big-Time Golf
I’m back here in Boston tonight, right where I started. I have an early flight back home to Southern California tomorrow and then back to the “normal” life again…at least until I plan another golf trip! I finished up my New England adventure with two more stops today on the way back up toward Beantown.... Continue Reading →
Back in the Desert (Again!)
The Coachella Valley just can’t keep me away. As my SoCal public, regulation-18 course checklist dwindles down to the final few, I can smell the finish line. I will be pushing hard and fast over the next few weeks to complete this task. After taking care of both Tahquitz Creek courses last weekend, I was... Continue Reading →
November in Vegas, Part 1: Having Fun in Henderson
I spent this weekend in Las Vegas and had a real good time out there with lots and lots of golf crammed into a few short days. Day 1 found me in Henderson (just south of Vegas proper) for some great golf with buddies through Greenskeeper.org... The Legacy Golf Club • Henderson, NV • 11/8/13... Continue Reading →
Wrapping Up My Labor Day Weekend
Most times I get a three-day weekend, I’ll take a little road trip. But I’ve already had plenty of those this summer and a couple more coming up soon, so I figured I’d keep it close to home over the Labor Day holiday. Well, “close to home” by my standards. After two rounds out in... Continue Reading →
So Many Oak Trees, So Little Time
I have a lot to get caught up on after a busy weekend of golf. It took me about halfway through my round yesterday to realize that, though I went all over the place the past two days, there actually was a theme to it all: oak trees! I do think they are a beautiful... 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 →
