With the big storm on Friday, I decided not to book anything for Saturday morning. I figured I’d get up, see what the weather was looking like and then make my decision. When I got up and looked outside, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It was another good day for golf! I ended... Continue Reading →
The Infamous 2007 Road Trip, Part 3: The Road Home
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
Centrally Located for Great Golf in the Southland
I’ve never been a huge fan of golf in Orange County. Sure, there are some great courses , but they are always way overpriced (especially on weekends when I play most). There are a few good deals to be found on the local munis, but those are WAY too overcrowded on weekends! So even though... Continue Reading →
Weekend Golf Adventures in the Southland
After a few weeks off from golf, I got back to it this weekend with a vengeance. I had some ideas heading into the weekend, but nothing quite went as planned. However, everything worked out even better than I would have hoped. My original plan for Saturday was to drive out to the Coachella Valley.... Continue Reading →
Twas the Season for Great Golf
I usually don’t play too much golf during Christmas time, especially when I’m spending the holidays up in Northen California in my hometown. Usually this time of year, it’s pouring down rain 24/7. But this year, plenty of sunshine was in the forecast. The temperatures were lower than normal without any precipitation, but the forecasts... Continue Reading →
