The Old Course at St. Andrews... Part 1 - Front 9

Finally bringing you footage from the Old Course at St. Andrews. This has to be one of the greatest golf memories of my life. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have the opportunity to play the most famous course in the world. It was truly a dream come true! I shot so much footage that I have to bring it to you in two parts and there is still more that I wish I could share.

I was in golf heaven from the moment I stepped off the bus till the final putt on the 18th hole. After ten holes I was 1 under... The round consisted of 3 birdies (9,10,12), 3 bogeys, and 2 doubles. Those pot bunkers were penalizing. The course was magnificent, picture perfect weather, and a solid round of golf.

I hope you enjoy the video!! Stay tuned for more from THE HOME OF GOLF...

Day 3 - Golf at Carnoustie... Can't get much better than this!

So here we go.... My first day of golf in Scotland and I get to play one of the best ever, Carnoustie! I know that the first couple videos had more of the travel but this is what you have all been waiting for. Playing Carnoustie the day after a European Tour event was such a great treat. The course played tough but the weather was unbeatable! I don't think that Callaway could have planned it much better. It may be a little long but I wanted to be able to share as much as possible with everyone. I hit some of the best shots of my life and had some of the toughest bunker shots and lies I have faced on any golf course. Some people call it "Car-Nasty" and now I know why. If the weather was not as nice as it was the scores would have been a lot higher.

I have only played a couple of links style courses, but none of my previous experience could have prepared me for the true links style that I faced at Carnoustie and the other courses on the trip. I will tell you more about what my favorite parts of the trip and toughest holes were when I wrap up the video series. The next video is taken on the same day. A few of us could not resist the opportunity to play another 18 with such perfect weather. The last time I walked 36 holes on the same day was when I passed my P.A.T.

Continue to follow my adventures through Scotland and stay tuned for the next episode from My Life On The Green because there are plenty more on the way. I hope you all enjoy!!

Day 2 - Arrival in Scotland...

Finally arrived after just over 24 hours of travel. 3 different long flights from Sacramento and all the luggage made it (at least for myself). Still had some traveling to do to get to the hotel before we could start the festivities so I thought that I would share some of my first day in Scotland with you. A little scenery, history and more... Carnoustie is next so stay tuned!

Day 1 - Traveling to Scotland

It's been a long time in the making but here is the first video from my trip to Scotland which I took in October 2010. With the golf season quickly approaching I thought that this would be a great way to kick it off! I posted this video a while back but wanted to share it again.

I was very fortunate to win this trip through a Callaway sales contest held at Haggin Oaks. Callaway sponsored, planned and executed a trip of a life time! Future videos will include Carnoustie, St. Andrews, Royal Dornoch, and much more. This was hands down the best trip I have ever been on! Hope you enjoy this video and stay tuned for the videos still to come!

Golf and Lifestyle Magazine Article... Gear Up in the Winter

Back in October I was featured in Golf and Lifestyle Magazine. I apologize that it has taken me so long to get this up but I thought that I would share it with you again if you missed it. After this article was published I went on an amazing trip to Scotland with a group from Callaway. It was a trip of a life time and I will be sharing some of the pictures and videos from the trip very soon.

Golf during the winter months...

The golf "season" may be slowing down now that winter is in full swing, but this is a great time to get geared up for next year and work on your game. Right now many golf manufacturers are starting to release their new products. Callaway has released the new Diablo Octane forged composite Driver and Woods. Titleist introduced the new 910 Driver. Nike just put out the MachSpeed Black Drivers and a couple new iron sets. Ping, Mizuno, and Taylormade have also released some of their new products. If you are looking to improve your equipment feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help you find the right club and fit you properly for it.

With the weather being so cold and the busy holiday season ahead of us, many people do not have as much time to dedicate to a full round of golf. Now is a great time to come take a few lessons from me a make some changes to your swing. If you can find the time to work on your game during these slow golf months, you will be one step ahead of your golf buddies who are going into golf hibernation. Make sure you dedicate some time each week on the driving range and putting green. Even if that just means you are swinging the clubs in your backyard or putting on the carpet inside. I would be happy to work with you and make improvements to your swing that will help you shoot lower scores.

Don't let your game suffer during these slow golf months. Now is the time to check out the new equipment and take a few lessons so that you can hit the ground running when the weather starts to warm up. Contact me at the Haggin Oaks Super Shop about new clubs, fittings, and lessons. I look forward to working with you soon!
