It’s been a rainy and gloomy week here in Southern California, but sometimes for us hardcore golfers it can be advantageous when the fair-weather players stay at home. Actually, I might have abstained myself today had I not already pre-paid for my tee time earlier in the week (when the forecast for the weekend looked... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort
You could say Black Friday came a day early. After all, when it came to golf on this Thanksgiving Day, the deals were aplenty. The one I couldn’t resist, however, was GolfNow’s “hot deal” rate at Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort. They had a nice late morning time (10:56) for $50. On top of that,... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Costa Mesa Country Club (Mesa Linda)

Anyway, I had signed up for an outing put on by Greenskeeper.org and the... Continue Reading →
Well, The City of Industry Does Have Two Things Going for It…And Their Names Are Ike and Babe!
I took the day off from work yesterday just to take advantage of the “Mega Monday” deals at Industry Hills. I had first played the Zaharias course back in March and absolutely fell in love with the layout. I couldn’t wait to play the Eisenhower course next. Most everyone I’ve talked to prefers Ike over...

Getting Caught Up…
As I sit around on what is a rainy weekend here in Southern California, I figured I’d get caught up and post some reviews and photos of the courses I’ve been playing the past few weeks. Three weeks ago, I visited Green River. Two weeks ago, I went down and played Escondido Country Club for... Continue Reading →
