Scenery from Sunrise to Sunset
I'm going to jump around a little chronologically for this post just because of how things lined up for the different course reviews. If you read my Short Course Blitz, you can see how all over the place I was last week as I checked as many courses off my East Bay list as possible.... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz: East Bay Area
One of my primary goals of this most recent trip to the Bay Area was to check off as much of my remaining East Bay public list as I could. Ultimately, I played 12 new courses over four days and half of them were short courses. Guess what that means? It's Short Course Blitz time!... Continue Reading →
From the Shoreline to the Stadium

Do You Know the Way to Pay in San Jose?
After my Short Course Blitz on Saturday, I stayed up in Fremont in advance of a few rounds in the San Jose area on Sunday. A golf buddy met up with me for the rest of the trip. We don't have a big overlap list of courses we both need to play in this area,... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz: The Redwood Road
Wow! What an incredibly fun four days up in Northern California. Just got home last night and have a lot to get caught up on since I played 13 new courses.

February in the Bay Area, Part 2: Continuing the Delta Tour
After Deer Ridge and Lone Tree on Wednesday, we continued to roll along the Delta for a third round in the afternoon.
