AGWS 23 – Waveland Golf Course: Potential Value vs. Actual Value

Sometimes, it is hard to see the potential value in something. Every year, thousands of entrepreneurs pitch their idea and hope that curious investors see the potential value in their business idea. To the entrepreneurs, they are trying to show that the core of their idea and business is valuable, even if the details aren’tContinue reading “AGWS 23 – Waveland Golf Course: Potential Value vs. Actual Value”

AGWS – 13 – Making Up a Golf Course

As has been discussed on this blog, I love golf course architecture. Growing up as a caddy at a Raynor (heavily designed in the 60s unfortunately) I got to see world class architecture up close and personal. I got to see how width and angles can affect strategy as well as how large green complexesContinue reading “AGWS – 13 – Making Up a Golf Course”

AGWS – 12 – My Golf Wishlist

One thing that is a big turn off for people getting into golf (or even for people who are already into golf) is the cost of everything. You need to buy the equipment, the ball to play with, pay to play, pay to practice (driving range) and even pay to buy clothes depending where youContinue reading “AGWS – 12 – My Golf Wishlist”

AGWS – 8 – A Trip to the Desert (PT IV – The Greatest Shot of the Trip, a tangent on Golf Architecture and a Long Unnecessary Blog Title)

According to my friends and family, I recently have fallen in love with Golf Course Architecture but in actuality, I have always loved golf course architecture, I just didn’t know that I loved it. I have always recognized good golf courses and knew what places were architecturally special but I didn’t have words to describeContinue reading “AGWS – 8 – A Trip to the Desert (PT IV – The Greatest Shot of the Trip, a tangent on Golf Architecture and a Long Unnecessary Blog Title)”

AGWS – 7 – A Trip to the Desert (PT III – Firerock)

After wrapping up in Green Valley and playing Canoa Ranch, my wife and I spent some time together in Scottsdale. This was the only portion of the trip that I did not play golf. It was spent exploring the Scottsdale area, the Botanical Garden and enjoying the awesome shops and restaurants that the city offered. Continue reading “AGWS – 7 – A Trip to the Desert (PT III – Firerock)”

AGWS – 5 – A Trip to the Desert (PT I)

As much as I like living in Minnesota, the winters tend to be brutal. The lashing cold, the constant need for a cup of tea or coffee to warm up, shoveling the driveway and most importantly the lack of golf, are all bummers of the snow.
