This week, I made a quick trip up to Southern Nevada. It's kind of become an annual tradition to go up to Vegas (sometimes Mesquite) in early November. One of my golf buddies usually plans it, but he wasn't able to make it this year. However, I was invited to play a comp round at... Continue Reading →
Too Much Time on My Hands
We've reached the end of my 3-day Southern Utah adventure. After marathon days on both Thursday and Friday of my trip, I was left with just one course in St. George that I hadn't played yet.

Another Quick Trip to Vegas, Day 2
