Humbled. Frustrated. Beaten down.
Shot an 88. Brutal. Some breeze. But playing from the tips changes the course big time. 6 penalty strokes.

Football season…summer is over
I must be one of only a handful of men who find the return of football season as a downer…. That the snow will put a hold on golf.
Bushnell Yardage Pro Tour — my new golf gadget
I broke down and bought a laser yardage meter. I played with different ones, and in the end, I picked up the Bushnell Yardage Pro Tour model.
It was small. Easy to use. Fit nicely in my hand. Nice semi-rubberized tactile feel.
Yesterday, I played at the Ranches Golf Club in Saratoga Springs / Lehi. More than [...]
Booked my travel for The Medialist Touranment
I’m in. Going back to Scottsdale.
Matt “twisted” my arm to come down and play. But when he offered to let me shack up, I was in.
Three days. Three courses. Eagle Mountain, SunRidge Canyon, and my favorite, We-Ko-Pa. September 8, 9, 10th.
Slow golf sucks
If there’s one thing a golfer hates it’s waiting for hackers who are playing slow golf. They look for balls, try to hit miracle shots–cause they saw it on TV once, take 10 practice swings before each shot, etc., etc. Even the Wall Street Journal wrote about it today, offering reader suggestions for improving pace [...]
June 19th: The Ledges, the final round of vacation 2006
Today, on the drive home from Scottsdale, Dallen and I played a new course in St. George, Utah that just opened in the spring of 2006. The course is The Ledges.
I liked the course. There was a LOT of grass for a desert course. Felt like the designers were catering to mid-west / Easterners relocating [...]
June 16th: SunRidge Canyon and We-Ko-Pa
Great day of 36 holes of golf on two of my favorite golf courses of all time:
SunRidge Canyon Golf Club, a Suncor Golf course
We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, rated in Golf Digest’s Top 100 you can play
SunRidge Canyon Golf Club
I’ve always been a huge fan of SunRidge Canyon Golf Club in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Most of my [...]
June 14th: Grayhawk — Raptor Course
Dallen had one comment about Grayhawk: Bunkers from Heck.
I love Grayhawk. I prefer the Raptor course. Raptor has been home to the World Match Play, Tommy Bahama Challenge, the first Tiger Woods Foundation and Target World challenge event , and many others.
I drove the ball well, a key to playing Raptor well. My approach [...]
June 13th: Dove Valley & Legend Trail

First tee time was 6:45 AM at Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club, a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. course. We were joined by a gentleman from Minnesota looking at real estate upon retirement. He’d worked in [...]
