November Golf in Arizona
Since breaking 90 for a round of golf is not in the foreseeable future, the occasional story from the links will have to suffice. This time: from The Wigwam Resort in Arizona.
I know who I am. I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!
Home Course (Dis)Advantage
Seems like every golfer has their so-called home course. Though don’t necessarily confuse home with favorite (though it can be).
