I wasn’t sure if I’d write anything about my current trip until I got back, but I do have some time to kill this morning. I can cover yesterday’s events. The next two days will be written about when I get home this weekend. Earlier this year, a friend of mine and I decided to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Los Amigos Golf Course
Yes, I am aware that it’s a little funny that, of all courses I could have picked to play today, I picked the one with “Amigos” in the name. In fact, it’s one of the reasons I chose it. If you are unaware of why this might be a tiny bit funny, just check out... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Journey at Pechanga
Three-word review: Worth the wait! Long-winded review: Wow! What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday, I was slated to play the highly touted Journey at Pechanga course for the first time. However, the weather was so ugly when I showed up, that I decided to cancel my tee time and play Summerly instead. I... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Links at Summerly
Well, if you read yesterday’s post, you are probably expecting to see a course review for Journey at Pechanga here. Things don’t always go as planned. I got up this morning, eager to get out to Temecula and finally tee it up on that highly regarded course. I was excited to be taking advantage of... Continue Reading →
Crossing a Couple More Off My List
So, the life of the Golf Nomad is not always so glamourous. Sometimes you have to dig through some coal before you get to the diamonds. That’s what today’s story is all about. Tomorrow is my marquee round for the weekend. I usually don’t play on Sundays during NFL season, but my team (Atlanta, 6-0... Continue Reading →
Back to the Grind
Well, after a much-needed weekend off last week, I was back at it yesterday. I was ready to cross a couple more courses off my list as I look to 300 and beyond. I still have quite a ways to go to reach one of my goals of playing everything in Southern California (and by... Continue Reading →
My Return to Monarch Dunes, GK Style
The main “excuse” for my latest little jaunt up the coast was that I had a Greenskeeper.org event I was playing in on Saturday at Monarch Dunes Golf Club in Nipomo. Now, I’ve mentioned GK a lot on this site and it has really opened up a lot more social opportunities for me when it... Continue Reading →
Keeping Up with the Joneses on the Monterey Peninsula
I’m running a little behind on my posts. The last couple days have been full of a lot of activity—driving, playing a ton of golf, socializing with my GK friends and just today watching the American team get shown up by the European team at the Ryder Cup. Now it’s time to get back to... Continue Reading →
Number 250 (and 251)! Night and Day at Half Moon Bay.
Naturally, I wanted to do something kind of special to commemorate my 250th course played. I had toyed with a number of options and was leaning toward Torrey Pines, but it seemed their conditions are sub-par right now and not quite worth the hefty fees they pay us non-residents. So with the Monarch Dunes GK... Continue Reading →
Different Strokes for Different Folks
If yesterday’s golf adventure was a college art project, it would have been entitled “A Study in Contrast.” It was another interesting day out on the links in the Inland Empire with two vastly different courses played. But I had a lot of fun during both rounds, which just proves the fact there’s many ways... Continue Reading →
