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 [...]

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 watch. [...]

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 - [...]

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 [...]

Our American soldiers serve, fight and fall to protect every Citizen’s rights and give us all the freedom to pursue happiness. In remembrance of the ones who fell, I thought it was fitting to pursue my own happiness - so I played golf.

Of all three weekend days to play, Monday was the prettiest and I [...]

I read somewhere that wherever you are, there is always a spider within 8 feet of you (or something like that), which creeps me out to no end. Living in Southern California often means there is a celebrity somewhere near as well. Maybe not 8 feet, but they are somewhat ubiquitous. Many celebrities aren’t nearly [...]

The latest issue of Fairways + Greens is out now. Actually, it has been out for awhile but I’ve been negligent about posting this. They call it the “pink issue,” and it displays Paula Creamer - the Pink Panther - on the cover. It covers many topics related to women’s golf, and an entire [...]

You have probably encountered people who work at golf courses who don’t know the first thing about golf. Do you care?
If they have any kind of impact on the course of play, of course they should know about golf. Course attendants or marshals need to know how things work to do their jobs effectively. [...]

Here’s a phrase I don’t use every day: I’m really excited to watch the Champions Tour this weekend.
Why? They’re playing at my happy place, Punta Espada Golf Course at Cap Cana. I absolutely LOVE this golf course and seeing it in play by the seniors is going to be wonderful. If watching it on television [...]

The ladies played a pretty golf course this weekend and Paula Creamer was once again victorious in Hawaii. But shouldn’t a golf course be more than just a pretty face?
In my latest post on Swing Thoughts over at GFW, I discuss Ko’Olina Golf Course and why it shouldn’t be on the LPGA rotation. I’m no expert, [...]

Golf For Women launched a new project today to introduce their new “network” of bloggers. Among them is yours truly.

GFW is a golf magazine with a savvy web editor who saw the benefit of recruiting three female golf bloggers to contribute to their site. Starting today, I have a new blog over there called “Swing [...]

Mine stinks. Unless there is something remarkable about the hole - like how it looks or how I or someone in my group plays it - I generally don’t remember it until I’ve been there at least a handful of times.
Sometimes I don’t even remember entire golf courses! For example, I was visiting my family [...]

Normally, the photo above would show a great view of the Channel Islands from Glen Annie. Since the photo wasn’t great anyway, I decided fireworks would be more appropriate for the occasion.
Glen Annie Golf Club, which we played today, is one of our favorite courses around here. Within a fifteen minute drive, there are probably [...]

A couple months ago, I played and stayed at the Four Seasons Resort in Carlsbad, CA. The golf course there is called Aviara and it’s absolutely beautiful as you might expect from a Four Seasons.
Why bring it up now?
I mentioned Aviara in an article I wrote and the publisher recently contacted me because they were [...]
