On Tuesday, I took the day off from work to play in this SCGA member outing at San Luis Obispo Country Club. Of course, I made a full day out of it playing some “warm up” rounds on short courses in the Central Coast area. However, I will review those separately in a new “Short... Continue Reading →
Course Review: San Juan Hills Golf Club
After watching the Americans choke away another Ryder Cup, I was happy to get out on Sunday afternoon for some golf of my own. It’s not often I play in Orange County, especially on a weekend. I always have mixed feelings about OC golf. I love the convenience of the idea geographically, but most courses... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz #1: Gangsta’s Paradise
Well, I guess you can call this my official declaration that I am going to try and play all the public “short” courses in Southern California. Since private course opportunities are proving to be few and far between at the moment, I’m going to play more of the public par-3s, executives and 9-hole courses when... Continue Reading →
The Long and Short of North San Diego County
Saturday found me in North San Diego County, but it wasn’t an all-day adventure. I’ve been running myself a little ragged lately, so it was nice to still get in plenty of golf without wiping out my whole weekend. The first stop was a course I had played before, but have never reviewed on this... Continue Reading →
The Heat is On in the Inland Empire
Sunday found me playing another triple-dip in the Inland Empire, but it wasn’t quite as hardcore as the last one as two of the rounds were on local “short” courses. That said, the triple-digit heat made it a pretty long day. The main event for the day was a round at Canyon Crest Country Club... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Los Verdes Golf Course
I played here today in a one-day SCGA tournament. I’ve participated in a couple of these events in the past, but today was mainly about having a convenient excuse to come back and revisit Los Verdes. The only other time I played here was quite a few years ago. I really liked the course then,... Continue Reading →
Hemet’s Diamonds in the Rough
After a quick morning round at General Old on Saturday, my friend and I had plenty of energy and daylight left over. As we looked at tee time deals, two courses in Hemet stood out. We chose to play Diamond Valley as the better of the two options, but we also ended up playing Hemet... Continue Reading →
Course Review: General Old Golf Course
It’s been several years since I played here, so I haven’t ever reviewed General Old on my site. When a friend suggested we play there Saturday morning, I figured it was about time. After several road trips in August, I was looking forward to a more “relaxed” weekend. Sunday was reserved for opening week of... Continue Reading →
It’s All Downhill From Here
After an eventful Saturday playing in both Death Valley and Mammoth Lakes, Sunday found me working my way back home. Of course, I made a few golf stops along the way. Coming from up in the beautiful mountains, things were downhill the rest of the way home (literally and figuratively). The day did start off... Continue Reading →
The Highs and Lows of California
It has been a busy summer already, but I can’t let a three-day holiday weekend go by without hitting the road for another little golf trip. I decided to do something special on Saturday. I actually had this planned for the first day of my Tahoe trip a few weeks ago. That never happened because... Continue Reading →
