Though sometimes we move around where we meet, my dad, brother and I always try and get together during Christmas. The default location is usually my hometown of Crescent City, which is located in the far northwest corner of California. That's where we ended up this year. When the weather allows, I usually like to... Continue Reading →
The final stop on my most recent Northern California trip was a visit out to Calaveras County. I actually thought I was taking care of the last two stragglers in this region, so that I could say I was fully done with the Sierra foothills east of Sacramento/Stockton/Fresno. Unfortunately, I learned just days after getting... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in earlier reviews from this trip, I had one private club a day lined up for three days in a row. That made it pretty easy to plan the rest of the trip around. I started with Woodbridge on Sunday and then played Brookside on Monday. Tuesday's main round was at Rancho... Continue Reading →

Sunday and Monday were spent south of Sacramento in the Stockton/Lodi area. On Wednesday, I went out to Calaveras County with my friend. On Tuesday, I was on... Continue Reading →
My main round last Monday was at Brookside Country Club in Stockton. At the beginning of the year when the NCGA Member Outing schedule came out, this is one that my friend and I targeted. It was one of the less expensive outings at $80. In addition, the timing of it was nice in early... Continue Reading →

The day began at Dry Creek Ranch, and then the main round was slated for 11:00 at the private Brookside Country Club in an NCGA member outing. I will review that... Continue Reading →
This latest trip up north resulted in rounds a three different private clubs on three consecutive days, so it was nice having a marquee round to plan each day around. My friend was able to line up a round here at Woodbridge Golf & CC through Boxgroove. Woodbridge is located just north of Lodi and... Continue Reading →
The finale of my most recent Northern California road trip was a grand one, indeed. In fact, it was such a good get that we had to add an extra day onto the trip and drive pretty far out of the way from San Francisco to Truckee. Then, we drove all the way back home... Continue Reading →
After all the hype of the past few months, I finally made it to 1K. Yes, I reached the milestone of 1,000 different courses played on July 17, 2018. I always like to do something special whenever I reach every 100th course (and a few of the 50s, as well). Of course, I wanted to... Continue Reading →
One of my primary reasons for this most recent road trip to Northern California was because of an NCGA member outing scheduled at Berkeley Country Club on Monday, July 16. If you are keeping with my countdown to 1,000 courses played, this would represent #998 on the list. This was the middle round on a... Continue Reading →
