Course Introduction – MSU Golf Course

Posted on February 28, 2017by sorenj

Sometimes it is the simple things that lead one to select a course. There are plenty of reasons why I could have selected Mississippi State’s golf course; Golf Digest has tabbed it the top college course in the South and it’s a three time mention in their annual “places to play” list. However what struck […]

Course Introduction – Maddens

Posted on February 27, 2017by sorenj

After seeing a few pictures of The Classic at Maddens, I thought “this might be a nice course.” Then I watched the virtual tour and started searching for other pictures of the course. This track is appears to be a masterpiece… Undulating fairways, plenty of water and bunkers to keep you honest, and then there […]

The Best Kind of Eagle…

Posted on February 25, 2017February 25, 2017by sorenj

I got off work a little early today so I went to the neighborhood driving range/par 3 course to get a few swings in. I bought a small bucket and 9 holes of golf and headed to the range. And then… this happened… Ironically, if I hadn’t paid for the round ahead of time, I […]

Course Introduction – Ocean Winds Golf Course

Posted on February 24, 2017February 24, 2017by sorenj

South Carolina golf comes with some pretty high expectations, and justifiably so. So many courses I looked at offered the potential for a fantastic experience. Ultimately, I wound up choosing the Ocean Winds course at Seabrook Island. Barrier Island golf is something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time, so I’m really looking […]

Course Introduction – Poland Spring

Posted on February 23, 2017February 23, 2017by sorenj

Sometimes, a course’s history speaks for itself… When you tee it up at the Poland Spring golf course, you are playing on the same turf where Babe Ruth, Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Harry Vardon, President Taft, Jim Gallagher, Sonny Liston and many more celebrities have played. The first 9-holes were originally designed by Arthur Fenn […]

Course Introduction – Potomac Shores

Posted on February 22, 2017February 22, 2017by sorenj

I try to avoid terms like “breathtaking” when describing the courses I’m going to be playing (I don’t want to use it for every course, and I don’t want to oversell any particular course). So, for Potomac Shores, I’ll just show you some pics and let you pick your own words… first from above… Then […]

Course Introduction – Old Works

Posted on February 21, 2017February 22, 2017by sorenj

I’ve mentioned before that there are lots of reasons for selecting a course, and I’m trying to use them all at some point during this trip. A major goal is to show some of the diversity of golf in this country. So, while you will see some ocean views, some beautiful elevated greens, and some […]

Course Introduction – Forest Creek Golf Club

Posted on February 20, 2017February 20, 2017by sorenj

There are lots of reasons for selecting a particular course. If you’ve been reading along with me on these introductions, you are well aware that I’m “using them all.” Sometimes, however, the simplest reasons rise to the top of the criteria list. When I read this “Forest Creek Golf Club is the only golf community […]

Practice 9 – AKA first round of the year…

Posted on February 18, 2017by sorenj

I got out for the first time (other than the range) Thursday evening after work. I was only able to get in 9 holes, and the 10th green was literally a sheet of ice, so I really only played 8+ holes, but it was still great to get back out on the course. Recently I […]

Course Introduction – The Ledges

Posted on February 17, 2017by sorenj

In the parlance of the internet… I’m just going to leave this here… On day 4, in Utah I get to do THAT. And several other holes just like it, such as… The striking contrast of red rock and green fairways and greens, blended together by the high desert landscape is something to behold. At […]
