Golf at Bandon Dunes

This past weekend I took a break from classes to make the trek down to the Oregon coast and play what is becoming one of the most popular set of golf courses in the world, Bandon Dunes. It is about an 8 hour drive from Seattle and worth every mile.

In 2005, Pacific Dunes, the second of three courses, was rated the number 1 golf resort course in the country by Golfweek magazine; just inching out the famous Pebble Beach for the title.

These spectacular courses are notorious for rainy Pacific Northwest weather and gusty ocean winds. However, we enjoyed 3 fantastic days with plenty of sun, no wind, and no need for long sleeves. It was a great weekend and fantastic golf experience. I am looking forward to many more of these in the future!

Snow in Seattle...

Well, I am fully into this quarter of classes and today, as well as most of last week, I will be battling the winter weather that we are experiencing here in the Pacific Northwest. Last week we received a light dusting of snow that stuck around all week due to some bone chilling temperatures.

This morning I woke up and found that we received another inch or so of snow last night. I'm now sitting here looking out the window and thinking it's going to be an interesting trip to and from school today.

This weekend I'm set to play golf at the famous Bandon Dunes courses on the Oregon coast, so I'm just hoping that the weather gets better before then. Only time will tell.
