After 72 holes of golf on Thursday (shortened a little by weather) in St. George, I was right back at it as early as possible on Friday morning. I ended up playing 90 holes on this day, yet was still done by 6:00. That just shows how empty most of these courses are in the... Continue Reading →
If all goes as planned (knocking on wood as I write), I will be playing my 1,000th golf course on Tuesday, July 17. It will be somewhere pretty special, so stay tuned. With that milestone in mind, I need to stay on pace with my new course count so that everything times out correctly with... Continue Reading →
On Sunday and Monday, we were up early and ready to get our warm-up rounds in. Not a lot of set up here, so let's just go ahead and get started... Northstar California Resort • Truckee, CA • 6/17/18 This is one of those I'm not exactly sure how to label. I've seen it referred... Continue Reading →
I just returned home from a whirlwind 6-day golf adventure. Needless to say, I have a lot of reviews to get caught up on and this will be the first of 10 articles that will come out of this one crazy road trip! I ended up playing 19 different courses (17 of them new to... Continue Reading →
After finishing the SCGA outing at Andalusia last Thursday, my golf day wasn't over. I had also arranged for a round at Mountain View Country Club at La Quinta. This is another private club that doesn't get a ton of attention in the Coachella Valley golf scene, but it's another one I was glad I... Continue Reading →
My venture out to Pahrump on Wednesday morning was just a basic warm-up and a checklist stop. The real point of the day was getting to play at Red Rock Country Club in the afternoon. Many people are familiar with Arroyo Golf Club at Red Rock, which is the public course here that I have... Continue Reading →
Yesterday afternoon, I finally made it out to the renovated version of SilverRock in La Quinta. After being reduced to a 9-hole course for some time, the full course reopened last fall and revealed its new back nine configuration. I know the renovation was mainly done to make room for the eventual resort that will... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I took another quick day trip out to Arizona. It was kind of a last-minute plan. I knew my power company had a scheduled outage in my neighborhood that was lasting most of the day. Rather than sit at home in the dark and not getting any real work done, I figured I'd use... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I took a day trip out to Arizona. I did this a couple times last year with fun days in Wickenburg and Buckeye. The westside of Phoenix is a little easier to access coming from California (compared to Scottsdale or Mesa on the other side of the valley), so it's a good place to... Continue Reading →
When I mentioned to some friends recently that I would be playing at Tri Palm this past weekend, I only got a blank stare in return. When I mentioned the club’s old name of Shenandoah Springs, that stare only got slightly less confused. In other words, this is a private golf community not that many... Continue Reading →
