A friend and I played here yesterday morning for the first time in many years. We used to play out here a lot back in the day. Even though it’s a long drive, it used to be one of the best deals in SoCal. The prices were great and the course was relatively easy to... Continue Reading →
You Stay Classy, San Diego.
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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...

Christmas in May, La Quinta Style
Last week, a deal popped up on Underpar.com that I couldn’t pass up. $89 for a round at any of the five public PGA West/La Quinta Resort courses AND a free same-day replay round. The deal also included a $15 meal voucher and an additional replay ticket that was good for a 2-for-1 green fee... Continue Reading →
GK Saturday in Indio
Yesterday, the latest Greenskeeper.org “casual” golf outing was held at Eagle Falls Golf Course in Indio, CA. Several times throughout the year, they organize these group events for fellow GKers to get together for some good times and good golf. Though I’ve been a member of the site for many years, I’ve really gotten more... Continue Reading →
Well, The City of Industry Does Have Two Things Going for It…And Their Names Are Ike and Babe!
I took the day off from work yesterday just to take advantage of the “Mega Monday” deals at Industry Hills. I had first played the Zaharias course back in March and absolutely fell in love with the layout. I couldn’t wait to play the Eisenhower course next. Most everyone I’ve talked to prefers Ike over...
