My travels brought me to Savanna Georgia. I’ll be honest after all the courses I have visited recently and with Tobacco Road still left on the trip, I was having trouble getting up for the round especially when I was sitting in traffic going to Bacon Park. The course itself was designed by Donald Ross…… Continue reading Bacon Park

Dye’s Valley TPC Sawgrass
Wow, I have seen some impressive clubhouses on this trip, but driving up it is a very impressive and daunting at the same time. TPC Sawgrass opened in 1980 and is the flagship of all the TPC network. In 1978 the PGA Tour bought the 415 acre track and built the TPC Sawgrass. The two…… Continue reading Dye’s Valley TPC Sawgrass
TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course
The day has finally arrived, I’m playing the Stadium Course, home to Tiger’s “better than most putt” and a host of other big time shots by Tour pros. From the yardage book “Every hole on Pete Dye’s masterpiece demands precision and commitment, none more so than the most recognized hole in golf and the defining…… Continue reading TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course
Cougar Point
So my travels brought me to Kiawah Island. Wait didn’t you just go there? Yes, but I didn’t get to play Cougar Point. The course is right at the beginning of the resort property so you see it as you drive in. It looked so amazing, so green! Very different than Pinehurst in looks and…… Continue reading Cougar Point
Pinehurst No. 2
When you call the Pinehurst Resort they answer by saying “another beautiful day in PInehurst”. Well as much as yesterday was a washout today was the exact opposite of that. Some clouds in the sky, a bit of a breeze and temperatures in the low 70’s, a perfect day to tackle the crown jewel of…… Continue reading Pinehurst No. 2

On both days the course was pretty busy. The course has a driving range, putting green, well stocked clubhouse and…… Continue reading Ocean City Golf Course
Bethpage Red
In my quest to play all five courses at Bethpage, I found myself standing on the Red tee box on a fine Tuesday morning. The weather was gonna warm up by the back nine, so no excuses about too many jackets today. I got hooked up with a twosome and another single. After teeing off…… Continue reading Bethpage Red
Dyker Beach GC
A grey day Well the weather wasn’t as nice as the day before but still it was looking like a nice day. So I went online and looked to see where I could get on at a decent time. I ended up at Dyker Beach. The course from what I saw was a cool layout.…… Continue reading Dyker Beach GC
Kissena Park Golf Course
This might have been a bad idea What can I say, I picked this course because it was close to Citi Field – home of the New York Mets. “Wait I thought you were in Maryland?” you say. I was. Made the drive back in the morning, went to the course and then off to…… Continue reading Kissena Park Golf Course
