		<description><![CDATA[My parents have always been supportive of my hair-brained ideas, but I am absolutely positive that if I told them I was going to set out on a year long cross country golfing expedition at the tender young age of 17 the proverbial foot down would have been put down.  Luckily for us Dylan Detheir's parents were quite a bit more adventure minded than mine and because of that we get to read <u>18 In America</u>.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After spending the night right outside of Eugene, OR I woke up early the next morning and started making my way towards the Coos Bay airport.  I was going to drop off my rental car there and meet up with the contingent of Texas guys I was joining for the Bandon Dunes portion of my Pacific Northwest trip.  It’s about a two and a half hour drive from Eugene to Coos Bay so I had plenty of time before their flight from San Francisco arrived in the early afternoon and I could make a leisurely morning out of it.  My GPS gave me a number of options for getting from Eugene to Coos Bay and on my buddy Barry’s recommendation  I decided to take the coastal route that heads directly west towards Florence and then south along the coast from there.  While there are not a ton of ocean views, the coastal route is very pleasant and winds through some beautiful forests with the occasional ocean vista through the trees or at a roadside scenic overlook.  As far as I’m concerned it beats the heck out of highway driving.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by John Dunn Six years ago I had never played a round of golf with a caddie, but once I started my Top 100 quest I quickly became familiar with this colorful breed of characters that can be found at golf clubs all across the globe. Caddies come in all shapes, sizes, skill levels, demeanors and from all different types of backgrounds . . . they are a group that simply cannot be stereotyped. John Dunn has spent the last 20 years firmly entrenched in the club caddie subculture and his new book Loopers is a collection of tales [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a rather soggy day at Sahalee Country Club I pointed my rental car south and headed for the Tacoma area where I was scheduled to play a round at Chambers Bay the next day.  Chambers Bay is located in a town by the name of University Place, which, interestingly enough, is NOT the home of a university.  The town was named in the 1800s after the University of Puget Sound purchased a tract of land with the intent of building a new campus there.  Even though the new campus was never built and the university sold the land back to the city, the name University Place stuck and it has been used ever since.

		<description><![CDATA[Since this week is TPC Players Championship week I thought it would be fun to revisit a funny moment from the 17th green at the 1998 TPC Players Championship. The video below is less than 30 seconds long so give it a quick look. For those wondering, yes Steve Lowery was able to replace his ball with no penalty. When I was at Chambers Bay two weeks ago I actually saw a hawk pick up a ball and move it from the bunker to the grass. Maybe we will see some more of this type of stuff at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[May is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month and with as much time as we golfers spend in the sun we should learn how to be careful. The Center for Disease Control recommends using sunscreen with at least 15 SPF. I personally always buy the highest I can find on the shelf. For the last couple of years I&#8217;ve been a big fan of the Coppertone Sport product line. They made a sunscreen in a stick that looks like a large chapstick and is very easy to apply to the face and ear areas. Being in a stick makes it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve all heard the expression “it’s a small world” and many of us have had those small world moments, but it never ceases to amaze me when it actually happens to me.  Back in 2010 I was visiting Sand Hills with a large group, one of whom was a golfer from San Francisco named Jeff.  As we played our round together I told Jeff about my Top 100 quest and said he would give my website a look when he got back home.  Once Jeff checked out the website he forwarded a link to one of his co-workers in North Carolina who is a die hard golfer that he thought would enjoy the site.  Turns out his co-worker is someone that I have known and gone on a couple of golf trips with dating back to before I ever started my Top 100 quest.  So, I go to the middle of nowhere Nebraska to meet a guy from San Francisco who knows someone that I’ve been on golf trips with in North Carolina . . . I love that kind of stuff.

Everyone gets a chance to hit their ball on the green from a tee and players of all skill levels have a chance to make par, birdie or even an ace.  This lovely book is a collection of the very best par three holes that the world of golf has to offer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As would be expected, the years when the list changes are always tense times for me.  For the last six years Golf Digest’s Top 100 list and the courses on it have completely controlled my vacation and travel schedule, so whenever an update to the list comes out it’s a bit of a cross between Christmas morning excitement and final exam anxiety for me.  Luckily, the change at the beginning of 2013 was the least damaging of the three changes that I have gone through since I began this quest, so I was pretty happy about that.
