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 →
Course Review: Woodbridge Golf & Country Club
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 →
Stuck in Lodi, Again
I don't remember the last time I took basically a full month away from golf, but it was a good break for me. I was able to make some headway on updating all the older posts and links throughout the site, though I still have a ton of work left. Anyway, I did just return... Continue Reading →
Central Valley Weekend, Day 1
This weekend, I made my way up to California’s Central Valley. It turned out to be a very interesting and fruitful trip.

The Not-So-Magnificent Seven, Part 1
Yesterday, I celebrated by 750th golf course played. It was a special experience on an amazing course, but you will have to wait a few days for that review because I am a bit behind. I was able to finalize the booking for that round just last week, and then it occurred to me. If... Continue Reading →

Weekend in California’s Central Valley
This weekend, we had what has become an annual tradition at Stevinson Ranch for Greenskeeper.org. Though we had a smaller turnout than last year, it was still a really fun outing with the great GK members who did make the trek out to the Central Valley. As I did last year, I looked at this...
