Stroke Saver: Are You Too Worried About Your Balls?
They are plastered everywhere, “We make the best ball for your game!” “The number one ball on tour.” “More spin, softer feel!” “The marketing folks are in full force when it comes to golf balls, but honestly, if you don’t hit the ball like a tour pro, what makes anyone think playing the same ball…
The Journey To Scratch: Seriously, Enough With The Snow Already
Seattle. The land of rain and trees. Where our golf season is usually only interrupted by some minor flooding or something crazy like that, but not this year.

The Journey To Scratch: A Frozen Winter
Well, I’ll be the first to admit that this winter has been a complete bust for me in the golfing department. After sneaking in a few early rounds at The Golf Club at Echo Falls, the Seattle area has been in a snow-deep freeze-snow-deep freeze pattern over the last month and a half. I’m not…
