You’re going to see that May and early June are loaded with private club rounds for me. There just happens to be a number of SCGA outings all lined up at courses I haven’t played yet, as well as member for a day deals and other invites that my friends and I have been able... Continue Reading →
Number 750: My Battle at Bighorn

And now you’ll know the reason why I did that… Bighorn Golf Club (The Canyons) • Palm Desert, CA • 5/16/16 I like to celebrate the big... Continue Reading →
The Not-So-Magnificent Seven, Part 1
Yesterday, I celebrated by 750th golf course played. It was a special experience on an amazing course, but you will have to wait a few days for that review because I am a bit behind. I was able to finalize the booking for that round just last week, and then it occurred to me. If... Continue Reading →
Another Visit to the Central Valley
As you may have noticed, the Central Valley is the next area I am trying to conquer in California. I’ve taken a couple trips up that way recently and hope to do more this summer. Yesterday, a friend and I took a day trip up that way and were able to knock out a couple... Continue Reading →
Course Update: The Links Championship at Summerly
Note: When this course was reopened, they altered the name to The Links Championship at Summerly. I has now gone back to the original, simpler name of The Links at Summerly. I wanted to post a new review about this course that is in the process of being resurrected. After struggling for several years, the... Continue Reading →

April in the Central Valley, Day 3: Homeward Bound

April in the Central Valley, Day 2: Gloomy Weather Won’t Slow Me Down!
After a marathon day on Thursday, I had to peel myself out of bed early in the morning again on Friday. I had less golf in my plans for this day, though. It was partly because I had some business meetings in the afternoon and partly because rain was in the forecast for the late... Continue Reading →
April in the Central Valley, Day 1: Making the Most of a Long Drive
Oh boy. I have a lot to get caught up on. I played a lot of golf four days in a row and all of the courses I played need reviews, so bear with me and check back every day or two for stories throughout the week. I headed up to the Central Valley again... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Spanish Hills Country Club
On Monday, I made the drive up to Camarillo for an SCGA member outing at Spanish Hills Country Club. And I do mean “drive,” as it took me over three hours to get through LA traffic on a Monday morning. It took nearly that to get back home afterward, as well. It was a shotgun start...
