Snowshoe Golf!
Since it’s snowing here tonight for the first time since 1989, I thought it a fitting time to tell you about my snowshoe golf experience. That’s right. I said snowshoe golf. What else do you do when there’s 4 feet of snow on the golf course? Earlier this month, I went to McCall, Idho to [...]

Elkins Ranch is looking great!
Without giving you a dreary blow-by-blow, occurrences over the last year or so have pounded me pretty hard. While I think I’ve done pretty well keeping my chin up and looking for a bright side most of the time, I had admitted to myself that I most likely wouldn’t be surprised by anything ever again. [...]

Oasis Palmer at the Mesquite Amateur
Of all the new courses I played golf at the Mesquite Amateur, I was most delightfully surprised with both courses at Oasis – Canyons and Palmer. Hardly unheralded especially with the name Palmer associated with one of them, but for some reason I was expecting their layout and terrain to be more akin to The [...]

Coral Canyon and Decadent Delight at the Mesquite Am
The second golf course on my rotation at the Mesquite Amateur was Coral Canyon, a course I’d been wanting to play for some time. It’s actually in St. George, UT, about a 45 minute drive from Mesquite. I’d been there before to play Ledges, and I just love the area. I’m a sucker for the [...]

Mesquite Amateur 2009
I’m home from my Golf Mesquite experience and what a trip it was! After four days of golf in the heat of the desert, late nights and early mornings, I was feeling pretty good. I guess the high of the trip wore off a bit because now that I’m caught up on my sleep my [...]

Indio, Shmindio. Try putting on the beach.
As the Kraft Nabisco (Dinah Shore) got underway today, the women of the LPGA were making and missing putts on slick, true greens in their first major of the year. The announcers just would not stop talking about the “Indio effect,” which just means the greens tend to break toward the town of Indio even [...]

Great golf course closing soon – play now!
There are a couple of weekends left to get your round(s) in at a terrific golf course. I’ve written about Primm Valley Golf Club before and I absolutely love both of its 18-hole courses. There are two golf courses on the property – the Lakes and the Desert. They’re amazingly different from each other so [...]

Annika v. Lorena: The Rematch
Also known as The Greater Sinaloa Open 2: Electric Boogaloo Well, I took Lorennika Sorenchoa back to the local dogrun to give Annika a rematch. The course wasn’t too busy but we didn’t have it all to ourselves. I caught up to a family on the third hole and the little kids were adorable to [...]

Annika and Lorena Battle it out One-on-One
This past Tuesday, Annika and Lorena were the only ones on the golf course for this epic one-on-one duel. Stroke play format. Nine holes. One bag. Who would prevail? Annika won the toss and teed off first, but honors changed hands several times as they battled back and forth. Both women used the same clubs [...]

When simply not losing is winning
It was a fabulous weekend at the Nevada/California state line. The golf took place on the California side at Primm Valley Golf Club and the gambling and a little sleep happened on the Nevada side at Terrible’s. The weather was the best we’ve ever had there – topped out in the low 90′s with very [...]
