Course Introduction: Triggs Memorial

Posted on February 16, 2017by sorenj

Triggs Memorial is a course with some history, built in the early 30’s it is coming up on its 90’th “birthday.” As you might expect from a course in Rhode Island, it is carved from a forest (originally on a 140 acre farm) and is therefore lined with trees. The course is described as “a […]

Course Introduction – Cherokee Hills Golf Course

Posted on February 15, 2017by sorenj

In Oklahoma, I expected more “plains golf”… not unlike Buffalo Dunes in Kansas. However, when I started looking at pictures of Cherokee Hills, this is what I saw: And then this: Hills, and forest, and water… oh my! This looks just like my favorite course at home (except it appears more lush and has more […]

Course Introduction – Cochiti Golf Club

Posted on February 14, 2017by sorenj

On day 6, in New Mexico, I’ll be playing Cochiti Golf Club. When I thought about golf in New Mexico I envisioned rocky bluffs and incredible color contrasts against the lush fairways and greens… something like this: Cochiti does not disappoint. I’ve been through their gallery of course shots repeatedly and really struggled to just […]

Course Introduction – Buffalo Dunes

Posted on February 13, 2017by sorenj

When I was looking at courses in Kansas, I wanted something with a “midwest feel” (although, candidly I wasn’t sure what that would be in a golf course). Until… I stumbled on this overhead view of Buffalo Dunes golf course… The course is essentially a single crop circle (not the mythical alien kind, but the […]

The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can’t see him laughing. ~Phyllis Diller The weather finally relented a bit this week. Well… the later half of this week that is, on Tuesday Boise looked like this: In the “what-a-difference-a-day-makes” category, this was today: Closed putting green notwithstanding, it […]

Course Introduction – Amarillo Country Club

Posted on February 9, 2017by sorenj

Early on in the planning stages for this trip, I knew I wouldn’t be able to play a course in Texas on the gulf; it was just logistically impossible. What I thought that meant was I would have to sacrifice a bit, to keep the route in tact… then I found The Amarillo Country Club. […]

Course Introduction – Ravenwood Golf Club

Posted on February 8, 2017by sorenj

One of the most challenging parts of putting this trip together was selecting courses in places like New York. Depending on who’s numbers you go by, New York has somewhere between 800-1000 golf courses most of which are great, some of which are utterly mind blowing. So how do you choose? Sometimes, it is as […]

Course Introduction – Fox Hopyard

Posted on February 7, 2017February 7, 2017by sorenj

The golf course winds through the various areas seamlessly and effortlessly affording a myriad […]

Our second course introduction (23rd course on the trip) is Worthington Manor Golf Club in Maryland. When scouting for courses there are a lot of things that stand out, and the national accolades, beautiful rolling hills and challenging greens of Worthington certainly grabbed my attention. I also was drawn to the fact that they had […]
