You could say Black Friday came a day early. After all, when it came to golf on this Thanksgiving Day, the deals were aplenty. The one I couldn’t resist, however, was GolfNow’s “hot deal” rate at Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort. They had a nice late morning time (10:56) for $50. On top of that,... Continue Reading →
Go Ahead, Make My Day
Well, I’m back home from my Bay Area trip. I got a lot to catch up on, but not as much as I hoped. Thursday, we played at Quail Lodge & Golf Club in beautiful Carmel, CA. Our tee time wasn’t until noon, so we had a nice lazy morning (which I am not used... Continue Reading →
Having Fun with a Bayonet
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 →
