Golf Confessionals: Prairie Bluff Golf Course

May 21, 2012 Leave a comment

Another weekend, and unfortunately another poorly-played round of golf by your’s truly. This time the torture took place at Prairie Bluff Golf Course near Crest Hill, IL.

First and foremost, the course was in great shape and played every bit of it’s 70.8 rating from the blue tees. I have never played on faster greens in my life, which is saying a lot since I’ve played many different courses in 30 years. Neither I or my playing partner could hold an approach shot into any green, often needed to choose a club less to allow for the ball to release after landing. Putting was also a chore at times due to the firmness 0f the putting surface, but perhaps that is to be expected on a challenging course like Prairie Bluff. Read more of this post

Golf Confessionals: Broken Arrow Golf Club

You know what isn’t fun about playing bad golf? It isn’t the final score, nor is it the number of golf balls you lose during the round. It’s knowing that you are better than your score indicates, but for some reason you couldn’t get things together. That pretty much captures my round at Broken Arrow Golf Club in Lockport, IL this past weekend. Read more of this post

Golf Confessionals: Schaumburg Golf Club

April 29, 2012 Leave a comment

Having never played competitive golf before on a regular basis (save for a couple junior tournaments early in my teenage days), joining the Windy City Golf League was a bit of a risk for me. Sure, I can go out and play golf against friends of mine and hold my own; but how would I stack up to other amateur players in my area? Today was my first test, and the course of choice was Schaumburg Golf Club. Read more of this post

Windy City Golf League: Special Offer for Readers!

March 10, 2012 2 Comments

One of the biggest issues with being a golf addict like myself is that you don’t always have someone to play with on a moment’s notice. Scheduling a time to play 18 holes with a group of friends can be about as frustrating as missing a 5-foot putt for birdie. Over time I just learned to deal with playing most of my rounds by myself.

Then came along the Windy City Golf League. Read more of this post
