Sunday found me playing another triple-dip in the Inland Empire, but it wasn’t quite as hardcore as the last one as two of the rounds were on local “short” courses. That said, the triple-digit heat made it a pretty long day. The main event for the day was a round at Canyon Crest Country Club... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Los Verdes Golf Course
I played here today in a one-day SCGA tournament. I’ve participated in a couple of these events in the past, but today was mainly about having a convenient excuse to come back and revisit Los Verdes. The only other time I played here was quite a few years ago. I really liked the course then,... Continue Reading →
Hemet’s Diamonds in the Rough
After a quick morning round at General Old on Saturday, my friend and I had plenty of energy and daylight left over. As we looked at tee time deals, two courses in Hemet stood out. We chose to play Diamond Valley as the better of the two options, but we also ended up playing Hemet... Continue Reading →
Course Review: General Old Golf Course
It’s been several years since I played here, so I haven’t ever reviewed General Old on my site. When a friend suggested we play there Saturday morning, I figured it was about time. After several road trips in August, I was looking forward to a more “relaxed” weekend. Sunday was reserved for opening week of... Continue Reading →
The Highs and Lows of California
It has been a busy summer already, but I can’t let a three-day holiday weekend go by without hitting the road for another little golf trip. I decided to do something special on Saturday. I actually had this planned for the first day of my Tahoe trip a few weeks ago. That never happened because... Continue Reading →
A Little Bit of Fun Before My Big Milestone

Different Views of Valencia
Recently, I had the opportunity to finally play TPC Valencia as part of a “member for a day” outing. It was an event I wasn’t going to pass up this time. Any other chance to play this course has just not worked out well with timing. With a shotgun start set for 10:00, I had... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Anaheim Hills Golf Course
After a four-day golf barrage last weekend up the coast, it was kind of nice to relax this weekend. Saturday was a rare one without any golf, but I was back at it again today for a quick, local 18 at Anaheim Hills Golf Course. Now that I’ve achieved one of my goals to play... Continue Reading →
Coastal Trip, Day 1: A Really, Really Busy Birthday
I hit the road again last weekend. I had taken Thursday off from work because it was my birthday and decided I might as well take Friday off, too, for an extended weekend golf trip. Originally, my plan was to head up toward South Lake Tahoe, but the weather forecast looked terrible all weekend. Fortunately,... Continue Reading →
Course Review: California Country Club
There are two private courses that go by the initials of CCC in Whittier. I had the chance to play Candlewood Country Club earlier this year. I ended up liking that course a lot, so I was excited to play California Country Club yesterday. This is one that’s been on my radar for awhile. Though... Continue Reading →
