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…

A holiday edition of the happy little golf league

A Memorial Day afternoon with our little golf league can mean only one thing this spring of 2015. Even though we all known this is the unofficial kick off of summer in Everywhere, USA.
