Somewhere between the 4:55am sunrise wake-up call, 18-holes played alongside our dog Ella, and lengthy chats with partner Kyle and head pro Andy, I realized if there were ever a single golf club I could see myself joining forever, Belgrade Lakes Golf Club would be it. Why? Well, Belgrade Lakes Golf Club is everything I love…

On a typical steamy mid-August morning at White Deer Golf Complex, I arrived early to spend a few hours grinding in the hot central Pennsylvania sun. Wedge ladder drills on the range, flops shots and bump-and-runs around the greens, and clock putting drills were all in a morning’s work.  One by one my high school…

Cruising north along the southern coast of Connecticut, with the acoustics of Dave Matthews and an afternoon cup of french-pressed coffee setting the tone, excitement level was off the charts.

Passing through the entrance gate, under a quaint stone archway supporting the railroad tracks above, the introduction to Bulle Rock begins before you even step out of your car.  Flanking either side of road, Bulle Rock presents a preview of what’s to come on the course, with unencumbered views of the front nine finishing holes to the left, and back…

Expect the unexpected. At Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, that tag-line holds oh-so-true. It’s hard to believe that growing-up in Pennsylvania, I knew very little about the Nemacolin property and Mystic Rock golf course. True, my hometown of Williamsport is nearly 4-hours away, but how could a golf-loving soul not know more about this place!  During our…
