On Sunday, a friend and I drove down to Santee (just east of San Diego) to check out this course. I had previously purchased a voucher on Underpar.com that was a great deal. It was $74 for two players and included a same-day replay round, so $37 a piece was a steal for this course... Continue Reading →
A Solid Conclusion in Southern Oregon
I’m back home in Southern California. There’s no time to rest for me, though, as I need to get caught up on the final couple of rounds I played in Oregon. Stone Ridge Golf Club • Eagle Point, OR • 7/6/13 Since this trip was all about exploring different parts of my “home away from... Continue Reading →
A Little Bit of Home Cookin’
I’m spending 4th of July in my hometown of Crescent City, CA. Of course, when I come back home, I always like teeing it up on some of the local courses and enjoying a bit of nostalgia... Salmon Run Golf Course • Brookings, OR • 7/3/13 I’ve written about this course a number of times... Continue Reading →
The “Other” Bandon Courses
After a couple days in Bend, we headed toward the coast on the way back to my hometown of Crescent City, CA (just south of the Oregon border). The drive was a little longer, but it was an excuse to check out the other two courses in Bandon that I hadn’t played yet. One is... Continue Reading →
Central Oregon, Part 3: A Land of Diversity
Well, I’m back in my hometown of Crescent City, CA for a few days, so hopefully I’ll have a little downtime to catch up on my reviews and photos. I’ll chip away one day at a time. My last day in Bend on this trip was Monday and I was able to fit in two... Continue Reading →
Central Oregon, Part 2: When You Mess with the Bear, You Get the Pronghorn
Yesterday afternoon it was Arnie at The Running Y Ranch. Today it was Jack’s turn to try and wow me with his Oregon masterpiece… Pronghorn (Nicklaus Course) • Bend, OR • 6/30/13 This was the central round for my entire trip. On most any ranking list I see, numbers one and two in the Central... Continue Reading →
Central Oregon, Part 1: A Long Drive with Endless Rewards
Well, I guess I lied when I posted last night about not being able to update my blog from the road the next few days. That may still hold true after today, but I got a very quick early morning round in today and have a few hours to spare before my late afternoon round... Continue Reading →
Days 3 & 4 in Alaska: Down the Home Stretch
Well, it’s my final night here in America’s 49th state. In my mind, it’s the 28th as that’s the number it represents in my personal goal to play all 50. There’s still plenty of daylight tonight and I’ve become accustomed to the crazy hours here during Solstice week, so I figure I’ll just power through... Continue Reading →
Days 1.5 & 2 in Alaska: Fun Under the Midnight Sun
Even though there are probably more interesting things I could be doing tonight in Fairbanks (it is the Summer Solstice after all), I really want to catch up a little bit on the blog posts for my friends back home who have been following here and on Facebook/Twitter all week. Thanks, everyone! I filled you... Continue Reading →
Day 1 in Alaska: Running with the Mooses
Yes, I know the plural is just “moose,” but it’s more fun the other way. And no, I haven’t encountered a moose or any other interesting wildlife yet. I sure hope to, though I can do without any up-close bear confrontations! This is going to be an interesting trip. I am not sure when I’ll... Continue Reading →
