AMERICA’S GREAT 18s
After seeing an article in a golf magazine about the perfect 18 holes, I got to thinking about what my favorite 18 holes would be. After all, I love a good list.

The Sand Valley Story Continues…
After last year’s visit to Sand Valley to see and play the first course in the grow-in phase, I was bullish about its direction. This year, my golf season in the Midwest was bookended by two more visits, and you can officially count me among those who are over the moon about the place. UnderContinue reading “The Sand Valley Story Continues…”
Journey Along the Shores – Part 14b (More Volunteer Power)
What a difference a year makes. In my previous JATS post, I shared about the efforts of a group of our volunteers – the NSCDS Boys. They, along with dozens of other volunteers, contributed hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to the successful completion of our makeover of the 12th green complex. The CanalContinue reading “Journey Along the Shores – Part 14b (More Volunteer Power)”
