The years have flown by since my last visit to Pullman. The home of Washington State University. It was the fall of 2016 when I got my first look at the golf course. Palouse Ridge is the home to the WSU golf team. The course is also a gem for the small towns of Pullman … More Palouse Ridge ‘24
We started on the third hole and flew out of the gate. A par, followed by a birdie, followed by another par. The best start to a scramble I could remember. I wish you could have seen the second shot into the fourth hole. A par-4 of just over three hundred yards. One of the … More La Grande Scramble: Fall ‘24
The round of golf was in celebration of a birthday. A buddy of mine was turning one year older. At some point, we all just start losing count. Age is just a number, right.

For me, there is a challenge with placing a golf ball onto a regular tee. The trembling in my hands, like the type making it more difficult to putt, also hamper my ability to set the golf ball onto the tee. Cerebral palsy making my hands quiver from time to time, means that when I … More The Margarita Tee
A tradition of sorts seemed to have begun last year. Possibly, in the way many traditions find their beginning.

If you look on Amazon my suspicion is, you could find all kinds of indoor putting machines. Targets that could be set on the carpet for the golfer to putt toward.
