Nice title, right? Actually, this year's LA Open (Northern Trust Open? Please) was very entertaining, but not quite a Hollywood ending. I'm guessing most screenwriters would have Fred Couples winning, his balky putter somehow coaxing the final putt to creep over the edge of the…
The AT&T at Pebble Beach is always fun to watch... more for the course than for the actual tournament. Especially this year, when the weather went nuts to the point of canceling the final round, and they just hand the trophy to Dustin Johnson. Here,…
The AT&T at Pebble Beach was held this weekend, and the annual time for me to wistfully stare at the TV, drooling over holes 7-11, is here. Add to that the Golf Channel just had a top 10 show of "Top 10 Ocean Courses", and…
Have you ever been watching the US Open, the hardest test in professional golf, and thought, "I could play that course."? Well, typically that will never happen, as the Open is usually played at high-profile private courses, like Oakland Hills, Winged Foot, or Shinnecock. However,…
This week's PGA tournament at Torrey Pines in San Diego, the Buick Invitational, is typically where Tiger Woods begins his play for any given year. Of course, that was mostly due to his sponsorship with Buick, which is no more. Maybe we'll actually see him…
Hey! This week's PGA event was held at TPC Scottsdale, a public course, and you know I love when the big boys play a venue where you or I can hack it up there and play almost the same game. Question is... is it worth…
On tour this week was the FBR (Phoenix Open), played in Scottsdale in front of the largest crowds all year for a tournament. If you watched it, they love to show the 16th hole, a short par 3 that normally would not be a big…
Eric has an 8 handicap and lives near Qualchan. He was born and raised in Spokane and one of the reasons he loves the area is the quality and variety of the golf courses, and the good people who play them. His home course is the Creek at Qualchan and the best course he’s ever played was Oregon’s Bandon Dunes. Some day he’d like to play Cypress Point.
