What a wacky six-day adventure it was a couple weeks ago, and I'm still getting caught up on reviews. My original plan was to spend three full days (maybe 3.5) the Tahoe/Truckee/Reno area. That blossomed into four full days at the last minute. Also, another opportunity came up to play in a special event in... Continue Reading →
The final stop on my recent Northern California trip was one of the best. I was so fortunate to be able to line up two private Monterey clubs on Tuesday and it couldn't have worked out more perfectly in terms of timing, geography, etc. After we finished at Nicklaus Club - Monterey, we headed just...

Note: This course has since changed its name to The Club at Pasadera, similar to its original name of Pasadera Country Club. Monday's morning round at The Preserve Golf Club was something special, but I was also really looking forward to my Tuesday plans. I was somehow able to arrange rounds on two of the...

I’ve been looking for an excuse to come back and play the “new” version of Poppy Hills since it reopened from its major renovation in 2014. I made a point to play it not too long before it closed. You can read that review from the summer of 2012 here. Pictures were tough that day because... Continue Reading →
I don’t know if I just wanted to feel younger during my long birthday weekend or what, but it ended up being the most golf I’ve ever crammed into a three-day stretch. 63 holes Thursday. 54 Friday. And another 54 Saturday as I continued my tour of the Monterey Peninsula… Rancho Cañada Golf Club (West)... Continue Reading →

With my original Tahoe plans falling through, I figured it was a good time to visit... Continue Reading →
I’m quite behind in my posts after a long, busy weekend up in the Monterey area. I’m still exhausted from the trip, but I had such a great time. Plus I wanted to make sure my round at Cypress Point was the lead story on the site for at least a few extra days! Friday... Continue Reading →
I’ve been a little tight-lipped on this one, so I purposely didn’t hype this trip up too much in advance like I normally would. Part of it was still slight disbelief that I was actually going to get to play here. On top of that, I didn’t want to jinx anything. Bad weather, road trip... Continue Reading →
With the AT&T National Pro-Am PGA event coming up this weekend, it’s hard not to think back to my own experience at one of the world’s most revered golf courses—Pebble Beach Golf Links. It was back in 2006 when I played there. To see where I’ve traveled to in the past few years and to... Continue Reading →
