Back to golf …

Our Central New York course … As the top golfers from the U.S. and Europe finish up their tussle for the Ryder Cup at treacherous Bethpage Black on Long Island with a string of singles matches today, I will be watching on my living room TV. Also, I’ll be thinking about how this has been…

October golf felt right

In the swing. We didn’t quite catch the last summer blast that graced us last week, but when Tater texted me with the invitation to fit in an October round of golf at Camillus last Friday, I was glad to join he, Nolan and Can Man. Pretty, yes. It rained on and off, keeping my…

Back on the links with KP, Tater and Nolan

Hale, hale, the gang’s all here! KP pointed his great latest car north from Atlanta and decided the change from July to August was the right time to spend some time back in Central New York. First stop for my part in the great reunion week: Green Lakes Golf Course with Tater and Nolan, too.…

What’s a little rain on the course?

Damp but smiling. It poured all the way down Route 81 and for most of the first few holes earlier this week, but what the heck. I’m glad I said yes when Tater texted early that morning and said the folks t Vesper Hills told him the course was relatively dry despite the good amount…

There’s a gem down there at Vesper Hills

Why would KP and Tater have me go to the end of the world and take a right to join them for our first round of golf together this season? Ah, Vesper Hills. OK, so it really took me just a bit more than a half-hour south on 81 from Liverpool and then east toward…

We found the Olde Oak

We found the Olde Oak. OK, the golf course with the extra ‘e’ is far out there in the Onondaga County countryside of Kirkville, but KP and I have sniffed it out since the days the layout was called Towne Isle. So should say that this time out, we found the old oak. It was…

Timber Banks plays tough no matter how you slant it

KP and I made sure we used the Golf Expo coupon to play Timber Banks on the cheap this season. Sure, that meant we played the tough Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course in the northwest Syracuse suburb of Baldwinsville as just the second time out for the season in order to make the end-of-May cut line…

Here’s to a long and happy golf season 2017

KP and I played nine holes Monday. Late afternoon, post-work for me. He had the day off. It worked out well, this start of our season at Radisson Greens, the beautiful course up near his house some dozen or so miles north-west of the library. It’s a good plan for this summer, I think. This…

Hitting the dome walls makes us happy

KP, Tater and I got our golf season off to its traditional indoor start last week. Too chilly and wet for us to comfortably put in our first swings of 2016 on an outside course, we once again gathered inside the Golf Dome at Turning Stone Resort and Casino, some 25 southeast of Syracuse in…

The best course in America for $20

Halfway through the back nine at Foxfire Golf Course in Baldiwnsville New York, I made a declaration to KP, Tater and Netti. This could be the best golf course anybody can play for twenty bucks, I said to my great friends as we waited for our turn to hit on the tee. Gorgeous scenery cut…
