This website has been online for 5 years now and during that time I have never written any sort golf equipment review. I’m not really keen on jumping into such a heavily populated pool, so I’ve always avoided it. That said, I recently bought a golf product that I love so much I feel compelled to comment here.

Recently I was engaged in some friendly email banter with a fellow golfer I’ll be playing a match against this spring. As is typical with the posturing of fools, the conversation turned to “trash talk” and the topic of exactly how the handicap strokes would be distributed came up. Naturally, I thought I should be receiving strokes from him and he thought we should be playing even or he should be getting strokes from me. We each questioned the authenticity of the other’s posted handicap and debated about who would be coming out of their winter hibernation versus whose

Happy New Year! I hope 2011 ended with a fun and safe holiday season for everyone. 2011 was a great year for the the Top 100 Golf Odyssey with visits to 15 new courses from the list as well as quite a few non-list courses and a couple of revisits to some favorites. The current tally is 71 courses played and 29 remaining. Hard to believe I’ve made it this far. Of course, Golf Digest will release a new list next year, so I’m expecting to fall backwards a little bit, but I’ll worry about that next year. The

Well, he finally did it. Tiger Woods went more than 2 years without a win and today he defeated Zach Johnson at the 2011 Chevron World Challenge. A dramatic birdie, birdie from Tiger to finish on 17 and 18 was the dagger that did Zach Johnson in.
Love him or hate him, its tough to argue that he’s a thrill to watch when he’s playing his best.

Well, the Fall is here and the 2011 golf season is winding down to an end. Its been a great year for the Top 100 Golf Odyssey with visits to 14 new Top 100 courses, a couple of return visits to some favorites and a whole bunch of local golf thrown in for good measure. The year started up early with the trip to Florida back in February so I’ve packed it in a little prematurely and am taking the Fall off from golf travel for the most part. As far as my progress goes I played Fisher’s Island

Congratulations to Keegan Bradley who was triumphant in his first ever appearance in a major championship. Bouncing back from his triple on 15 shows incredible resilience and his birdie putt on 17 is the stuff that major champions are made of. Keegan played incredible and it was great fun to watch him get into play off position. As an American I have to also say that its great to see an American finally win a major again. Hopefully all these young guys will start to step up and challenge the great European players that have been dominating the majors

Congratulations to Darren Clarke for his Open Championship win at Royal St. George’s this past weekend. I was out of town so unfortunately I didn’t get to see any of the tournament. From what I picked up here and there it sounds like he played well and deserved the win. I don’t follow a lot of pro golf, so I wasn’t real familiar with Clarke’s personal story. Having lost his wife to cancer 5 years ago I think it’s pretty safe to say that a good portion of the golfing world was rooting for him bring the jug home.

Hello to Everyone! I hope you all are having a great summer. I usually try to post these “state of the quest” updates at the end of each quarter but I’m a little late this time. It’s been a pretty busy year so far and I regret to report that I am way behind on my website. I’ve played 6 courses on the Top 100 list that I have not posted yet and will hopefully have up soon. There are also another half dozen courses not on the list that I have played and intend to post about when
