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 →
Updated Course Review: Poppy Hills Golf Course
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.

I stayed across the lake in Kirkland, but I got some much-needed sleep after such... Continue Reading →
Twas the Season for Great Golf
I usually don’t play too much golf during Christmas time, especially when I’m spending the holidays up in Northen California in my hometown. Usually this time of year, it’s pouring down rain 24/7.
