Sheep Ranch

6,245 yards, 119 slope from the Greens Creaky. The wind surged against the window of my room that night, keeping me up with its fury. Wood creaked this way and that, some where. My alarm went off while I was in a daze, not nearly enough sleep. Out of bed standing, weary bones creaking. Yet … Continue reading Sheep Ranch →

2023 Preview

"What so tedious as a twice-told tale?" - Homer In a Golfadelphia exclusive, we start the new year with a confession. My chief concern; my biggest fear, at least as far as my writing is concerned, is repetition. Repetition in what I write about courses, repetition in how I see them or talk about them, … Continue reading 2023 Preview →

2022 Review

"We have stories to tell, stories that provide wisdom about the journey of life. What more have we to give one another than our ‘truth’ about our human adventure as honestly and as openly as we know how?" – Rabbi Saul Rubin I wasn't planning on golfing on this trip to Los Angeles but the game … Continue reading 2022 Review →

Metropolis Country Club

6,587 yards, 135 slope from the Blues I had some time to kill. One does not want to show up as a guest too early, whether for social functions, doctor appointments or the golf course. There was a liquor store nearby so I naturally went in to look at the bourbon. I walked out with … Continue reading Metropolis Country Club →

Oakland Hills South

6,833 yards, 137 slope from the Blues "At least we know the PrecisionAire works." The relentless rain poured the entire time. Two rain jackets and three sets of gloves later, at some point I just accepted I would be soaked the rest of the round. Every step was a slosh of water from the shoe. … Continue reading Oakland Hills South →

Meadowbrook Country Club

6,610 yards, 139 slope from the Black tees There are days where everything clicks. Where the street lights change in your direction when you approach, there are no lines and you some how end up in interesting discussions with complete strangers. Where at the end of it, you feel like you have lived life as … Continue reading Meadowbrook Country Club →

Little Mill Country Club

Red ("Devil's Glen) - 3,112 yards, from the Blues White ("Little Mill") - 3,343 yards, from the Blues Blue ("Stoney Mt.") - 3200 yards, from the Blues Red/White - 6,455 yards, 126 slope from the Blues White/Blue - 6,543 yards, 133 slope from the Blues Blue/Red - 6,312 yards, 132 slope from the Blues "Excuse … Continue reading Little Mill Country Club →

North Shore Country Club

6,603 yards, 136 slope from the Black tees This round marked a sad occasion. No rhyme, reason or rationale behind it but like the fickleness of the game, there are times when it seems ripe for change. It may have not been the right decision and some times, I wonder what may have been, but … Continue reading North Shore Country Club →

Meadow Brook Club

6,473 yards, 136 Slope from the Red Composite tees Things have a way of working themselves out. Maybe even, turning out the way they should have in the first place. It sure as hell didn't feel that way though as we were hurtling towards Long Island in the middle of the night, after watching another … Continue reading Meadow Brook Club →

Oak Quarry Golf Club

6,600 yards, 131 slope from the Blues I felt surprisingly energetic with 2 hours of sleep under my belt. It's not every day I get to see friends I grew up with and as the hours flew by the night before, the morning tee time grew shockingly closer and closer. You gotta re-live those glory … Continue reading Oak Quarry Golf Club →
