After enjoying the conversation (and the butt-kicking, ha) on the fairways at Leigh Farm Park in Durham, North Carolina yesterday, I was thinking that I would need to play eighteen…

Today was such a fun day! Fifty-four challenging holes of disc golf on two new courses near the Virginia border, while getting the chance to talk Eric Vandenberg's ear off…

One of the things that can occasionally be hard for me on the course collecting trail is playing courses that aren't generally available to the public, that their owners do…

I had another very successful day today on the course collecting trail, knocking out one more K-12 course (on a Sunday), as well as playing at a university while things…

I dodged raindrops most of the morning today while I walked Griffy and worked. But as soon as I got my first glimpse of sunshine? I was in the van…

Being a Saturday, I thought it wise to look for any more K-12 schools with courses in the Asheville, North Carolina area that I haven't played. As other than tomorrow…

We made our way from Kentucky back to Chicago today, to say "hi" to our oldest daughter at college for about sixteen hours, before making our final push for home…

Even though it was wet and raining out this morning here in Asheville, I couldn't resist the "siren song" of sneaking just a couple more courses played in the area…

After a day off from disc golf to help get caught up on work and other To Dos, I was able to meet up with Eric Vandenberg again this morning…

Today was a special day for me. Not only did I get to play what I now consider to be the top course I have played in the State of…

Today was a day when I got to play another course in the area that was designed by a world-renowned course designer. This time it was Rock Ridge Park, which…

Work was a little busier today than it has been, but I needed to make sure I got out to play at least one new course in an effort to…

I am not a fan of days like today on the course collecting trail. Playing two short, quick six-hole courses...one of which DGCourseReview.com designates as only a "Practice Area." But…

I didn't have a lot of time to work with today, with everything else I had going on. That said, I was able to sneak down to Sanford, North Carolina…

One of the people I have gotten to know on Facebook over the past few months has been telling me that Buckhorn DGC, in New Hill, North Carolina, is his…

One of the great things about housesitting is being able to enjoy other people's kitchens, laundry rooms, and pets. Not having 3-4 people sharing a single hotel room and bathroom!…

After another amazing evening with my friends in Kernersville, who treated us to a fantastic dinner at an area Italian restaurant (the tiramisu...oh the tiramisu), then getting to try fried…

I was SO happy and relaxed this morning! Reconnecting with friends in Kernersville, North Carolina last night, being treated to a great meal and lots of fun, interesting conversation. Having…

This morning I was up with the sun, quite a bit earlier than my "roomies." So I knew I HAD to sneak off to check out a bit more of…

After wrapping up our first housesit on this 40-day adventure to North Carolina (have I mentioned how AWESOME the housesitting lifestyle is? Check out TrustedHousesitters.com for yourself via: https://tinyurl.com/TONNhousesit) ...yesterday…

After yesterday's awesomeness at Richmond Hill, pretty much anything I played today was going to be a bit of a letdown. That said, after a lot of driving and hassle,…

Today I had the pleasure of playing my new favorite course in Western North Carolina: Richmond Hill. My EXACT type of favorite course to play, with tons of trees, elevation…
