Aliso Viejo Country Club

The Aliso Viejo Golf Club used to be a 27 hole golf course, but developers decided that the land was better served as a residential area so they changed the whole property to high end houses surrounding a 18 hole country club.
Having played this gem with its current miraculous condition, I must say that I’m [...]

Feel Less Frustrated on the Golf Course by Being Realistic

I see golfers upset on the course all the time. Some yell out loud, some throw their clubs, and some even break their clubs. It is usually afterwards that they regret what they did, but I still see it happening again and again.
I’m not even sure why they are upset when they fail [...]

Drive for Show but Putt for Dough

We all want to lower our scores, but all we think about is how to drive the ball farther.  We know the way to lower scores is through a better short game but all we almost never spend anytime practicing the short game.  We spend all day trying to hit the ball 300 yards, but [...]

Draining that Long Putt

Most of us have drained that long putt before.  You know, that 25+ footer that seems to track to the hole right after it leaves the putter face.  Even though we know it’s all luck, we instantly gain confidence in our overall putting skills, which usually translate to a good putting for the rest of [...]

The Deutsche Bank Championship this year saw some really low scores!  Vijay Singh at 45 years old won the tournament and a crazy 21-under par.

The Torture Round of Golf

We all had that round before.  That round of golf where 18 holes seem like 80.  The time goes by slow, and the hole that normally takes you 4 shots to finish now take 8.  I experienced that round today.
I was on a hot streak lately, shooting comfortably in the 80s for the past 3 [...]

Overlooked and Easy Ways to Lower Your Score

In playing golf with people through the years, I came to the conclusion that there are a couple ways people try to improve their scores.

Padraig Harrington Wins The PGA Championship 2008

There was definitely lots of drama at the end of PGA Championship 2008 where Padraig won with a score of 3-under par.  The day started where players were playing two rounds, thanks to a weather delay on Saturday.  Obviously, it helped Padraig because he shot 2 sounds of 66 today to win by one stroke.
