With a four-day Thanksgiving weekend and no significant family obligations to worry about, you can usually expect to find me on the road. That was certainly the case this year, as a friend and I decided to head up to Mesquite, Nevada, which when paired with nearby St. George, Utah, has grown into one of... Continue Reading →
Vegas Weekend with the Golden Bear
This weekend, I spent both days out in the Las Vegas area, enjoying plenty of good golf, gambling and a severe lack of sleep. In the process, I played two Jack Nickaus-designed courses. That’s fitting because I’ve been on an unintentional Golden Bear kick lately with a number of recent rounds at SoCal Nicklaus tracks.... Continue Reading →
Celebrating Number 500 in Style
Sunday marked a very special achievement for me. I got the opportunity to play my 500th different course (and #501 for good measure). As I’ve done with previous milestones, I wanted to make the course selection something pretty special. In other words, a Top 100 kind of course. At the same time, I wanted to... Continue Reading →

Tri-State Trip, Day 1: Warming Up on the West Side of the River

Viva Las Vegas!
I already told you about my visit(s) to Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort over the weekend, but that was not the only golf I got to play while out in the Silver State. Even with all the summer heat in the desert, there are still plenty of great options there... Angel Park Golf Club (Mountain)... Continue Reading →
Three Big Slices of Paiute
I had a great weekend in Vegas with plenty of good golf. The trip centered around Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort. This is a place I’ve always wanted to play. I’ve never heard a bad thing about any of the three courses here, so I was excited to finally check them all out during one... Continue Reading →
The Infamous 2007 Road Trip, Part 1: Desert Heat, a Yellowstone Treat and Bunkers that Were Neat
As I look forward to this May when I have my next big Golf Nomad adventure planned through Southwest and Midwest states, I can’t help but think back to my other massive golf road trip in 2007. I also wanted to celebrate the fact I finally got my own custom domain name for this site... Continue Reading →
