We played the last round of our trip at The Boulders Resort, where we also stayed. More about the resort here, at my other blog.
This was another beautifully maintained course. Here’s the putting green.

The course winds all over the place. Holes are connected by concrete cart paths.

It’s a challenging course. There are a [...]

The third day of our Arizona golf trip we played Rancho Manana, in Cave Creek, Arizona, and that’s the day my game came together. I just felt so good standing over the ball!
It was a breathtakingly beautiful course. Here’s what it looks like when you pull into the parking lot near the clubhouse. Paradise!

One [...]

The second course we played on our Arizona Golf trip this month was Longbow Golf Club in Mesa. My partner loved this course in particular. It was beautifully maintained, as you can tell from these pics.

A very open, rolling course. Lots of small aircraft to watch between shots — it’s right next to the Falcon [...]

As I mentioned on my kirstenmortensen.com blog, I had the great pleasure of a short golf trip to Arizona earlier this month. I posted some trip pics there. Now for some pics of the courses we played
First up: Dove Valley Ranch in Cave Creek, a Robert Trent Jones II-designed course. We played this [...]

Rochester region EWGA chapter tournament, played at Ravenwood yesterday. I shot a 101 and took low gross for my flight.
I’m a happy camper

Last fall, around the time it got too cold to golf anymore, I was feeling pretty discouraged about the game.
It seemed to me that after a year & a half of playing I should have been getting better. Ha. I was as close to breaking 100 at the end of 2006 [...]

Played 18 at Taranwould Golf Course with the EWGA travel league today. It’s a short course — 4350 yard, par 66 — but it doesn’t play particularly short, at least not to this admitted neophyte golfer.
One of the interesting things about the course is that several of the holes are replicas of holes at famous [...]

Rochester’s got three municipal golf courses, and Genesee Valley Park is the one that’s closest to my house. For that reason it’s the course I’ve played the most since I took this game up in the middle of last summer.
I played a couple times there this week now, too. Sunday I played my best [...]

I often stick my digital camera in my golf bag, but I haven’t been very good about publishing the pics I take. (It’s a great way to cool your heels if you’re behind slow players btw.)
So here to set things right are a couple pictures I took yesterday while golfing with my EWGA travel league [...]

“They say” that when you take lessons, your game will initially get a little worse. That’s been true for me — despite having a few great holes, I’ve been watching my already-high-handicap creep up the last few weeks, instead of going the other way.
But I may have turned a corner within the last few days [...]
