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 →
As you may already know, the final countdown to 1,000 courses was in full effect on my most recent Northern California trip. On Sunday, I played one round at Baylands in Palo Alto (#996). On Monday, I had three rounds on tap. It was a specific plan to be sitting at #999 by the end of... Continue Reading →
Recently, I posted my review of the new South Course at Corica Park in the East Bay Area. Well, the South Bay has a new and improved course of its own. Baylands Golf Links also reopened very recently and has kind of a similar story. This used to be known as Palo Alto Golf Course.... Continue Reading →
Hooray! We finally made it through all six days of my epic Northern California/Nevada golf adventure from a few weeks ago—just in time for my next trip a week from now! After 4 days in the Tahoe/Reno area and another in Monterey, the final day of my trip took me to Alameda in the East... Continue Reading →
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 last round of the Lake Tahoe leg of my recent trip was also one of the best. After a slow, grueling round over at Montrêux, I wasn't sure if I had enough in me to play one more. However, when a course like Schaffer's Mill is out there, it's not hard to muster up... Continue Reading →
On Sunday and Monday, we were up early and ready to get our warm-up rounds in. Not a lot of set up here, so let's just go ahead and get started... Northstar California Resort • Truckee, CA • 6/17/18 This is one of those I'm not exactly sure how to label. I've seen it referred... Continue Reading →
You knew this would be coming. When I say I played 19 rounds over the course of six days, you have to assume there would be at least a few short courses involved. Actually, I played five of them—four of which will be reviewed in this post. The first short course visit took place in... Continue Reading →
I just returned home from a whirlwind 6-day golf adventure. Needless to say, I have a lot of reviews to get caught up on and this will be the first of 10 articles that will come out of this one crazy road trip! I ended up playing 19 different courses (17 of them new to... Continue Reading →
