Got positive reviews of Castle Oaks and NCGAD is considering to keep that golf course as a part of their rotation of locations to go back to. Perfect weather, course is nice to play on and can be challenging if you make mistakes. David Smario defeated Charles Holmes in their match play and that put […]

What a great outing at Paradise Valley for NCGAD today! We had a big group playing today: 28 players! Perfect weather at PV as well, sunny, slight winds, and great temperatures. Tough course though for the majority of us because the greens were not easy to read. It was an enjoyable round of golf for […]
16 of us had a great day of golfing at Chardonnay Golf Club in American Valley. Nice course and great weather. However, the only issue about this place … it is so easy to lose a ball in the immediate roughs just off the fairways because the ball drops to the bottom and the grass […]
3 players and a coyote played at Tilden Park and judging from the pics, looks like everyone had fun at that fun course! Not sure about the coyote though, looks like it forgot their golf clubs? A reminder to everyone, please vote on the NCGAD meeting Poll that is posted in WhatsApp under the group […]
