I was cleaning up my inbox when I came across an old email from Survey Monkey. In full on Homer Simpson fashion I let out my “DOH!” and logged back in to the site. At the time I was really pumped up about this survey. I was curious as hell to see if there were people out there like me playing yardages that we probably shouldn’t be playing...

A few good things happened this past weekend that I’ve been eager to talk about. The first took place on Friday after work. I drove over to Wildhorse, which is about ten minute drive, and took advantage of the Super Twilight rate that has just kicked in. $20 is all it will cost you after 5pm. The course as pretty much as I expected, not a person or group around for...

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...

I’m doing a little study on how we all play this game. Mainly about yardages and skill levels. Follow this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Y5FSBCN It’s a real quick four quesion survey. As the results come in I’ll be sure to post them. Thanks!  

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...
