Last week, I played golf for the first time in 2020. It's crazy to say that, but I've actually been enjoying this break and I will probably go right back into hibernation. The only things that would tempt me to briefly come out of semi-retirement with all that's going on in 2020 would be the... Continue Reading →
Obviously, the content has been a little light lately. I haven't been playing as much, but I should have some new course reviews coming with some holiday travel in the near future. Yesterday afternoon, I did get out and play some golf at Eagle Falls Golf Course in Indio. It was only my second time... Continue Reading →
Exactly seven years ago today, a friend and I drove out to the Coachella Valley for a quick overnight golf trip that found us playing a whopping two courses before heading home. We played the South Course at The Golf Club at Terra Lago one day and then the Dunes Course at La Quinta Resort... Continue Reading →

On Friday afternoon, I was out in the Los Angeles area and I was able to tee it up at Woodland Hills Country Club in Woodland Hills. I was able to arrange a preview round with the club and I was excited to finally play this course. It seems I know a lot of people... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I went and played Virginia Country Club in Long Beach, CA for the first time. This one has been on my wish list for a long time, but opportunities to access this private club are very few and far between. The few charity tournaments I have seen there have been ridiculously expensive. A friend... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I had the opportunity revisit Sun Lakes Country Club in Banning. I played the Championship Course here last year, so I was able to go back this time and check out the Executive Course at this private 55+ club. I played alongside the Assistant Pro at the club and he shared a lot of... Continue Reading →

Well, there was one more private club in town that I was able to play that day: Chevy Chase Country Club. I reached out to the club in advance and they were nice enough to... Continue Reading →
