Summer Rates are HERE! So go play! May 15th 2013 Oh how I love the HOT days of summer. My inbox has been bombarded today by course after course today talking about how summer rates are now if not soon to be in effect. Guess it just takes a couple of days of seeing triple digits on the ole thermometer to put a little scare in the Finance Director of a Las Vegas golf...

When it comes to protecting yourself from the harmful rays our amazing Sun puts out I’ve been just a little bit narrow minded. My wife is constantly reminding me that I need to put sunscreen on but it’s always been a hassle or a nuisance for me to lather up with some stinky, smelly oily sun block so I never bother with it.  I’m lucky enough that...

Things have been a little hectic around the Breakfast Ball world lately and I realized last night that I’ve never even talked about the three and half rounds I played while I was on vacation last week. It could be because out of the 63 holes that I played that week I only played well for 27 of them. I’m not taking full responsibility though, there were some...

I was practicing the other night on my putting green at home and after spending a good thirty minutes doing so I just couldn’t get comfortable. At the time I didn’t think much of it but the feeling never went away and an hour into my session I had evolved into a completely frustrated individual that really hated what was taking place. Putting has been so up...

April 12th 2013 – Henderson, NV This past weekend I had arguably one of the best rounds of golf I’ve played in a long time. The swing change I’ve been pounding into my brain for the last 4 months is finally starting to take form.  I think that I’ve finally made it beyond the halfway point where the swing change, is starting to become my swing. Primm...

One of the most enjoyable aspects of writing this blog has been getting the opportunity to interact with so many of the amazing people that are involved in the golf industry. Most recently I had the honor of sitting down with the man behind QED Style, Mike McRae, during his recent trip to Vegas where he was busy promoting his brand across the valley. There is a good...

For most golfers with a limited budget, we have come to terms with playing under “less than perfect” conditions. This is especially true in winter when bermuda grass goes dormant and getting a nice fluffy lie is as likely as a Johnny Miller compliment. Look, chipping is hard enough without adding winter mud or summer hard pan so to think we should try to...

Perfect weather, great golf and good friends made this weekend one to remember! March 26th 2013, Henderson, Nevada   It’s not to often that you get to play 36 holes in one day. Let me rephrase that, it’s not too often that ”I” get to play 36 holes in one day unless you count the Death Valley Challenge. So when the opportunity presented...

I hate to admit it but my blogging has been relatively weak of late. The swing change I’m going through has completely consumed me to the point of solitary confinement until I get my act together. There is only so much you can write about before people are saying “We get it; you’re going through a swing change!” That was one of the reasons I went ahead and...
