I just got back from another 4-day trip up to the Bay Area. This time, I was mainly focused on my East Bay public course list as I worked my schedule around a couple of big group outings on Sunday and Monday. This trip did feature a number of "straggler" short courses, so expect a... Continue Reading →

After all the hype of the past few months, I finally made it to 1K. Yes, I reached the milestone of 1,000 different courses played on July 17, 2018.
