After I finished at We-Ko-Pa (Cholla) on my day trip out to Arizona last week, I worked my way over to my second destination for the day. I did stop for a quick lunch at Silver Mine Subs, which just happened to catch my eye along the drive between courses. It turned out to be... Continue Reading →

On Monday, I played Victoria Club in Riverside as part of an SCGA member outing. I was excited to finally check out this course.
