Prairie Isle Golf Review - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Some friends told me that Prairie isle Golf Club in Crystal Lake, IL was an out-of-the-way track that was a pretty good play, so I decided to give it a shot. Roughly 35-40 minutes from my house isn’t too far, so what the heck, right? I called to set-up a tee time as a single [...]

Image Optimization by BusinessWeek

September 14, 2009

Did a bit of ego/vanity-surfing this morning (typed Dan Perry into Google) and saw something new in the images section: The image on the far right is from my Twitter Feed, so I decided to click-through. It’s from a few months ago, and references a Time Management Tip I provided. The question is… How did [...]

Arcadia Bluffs Golf, Arcadia, Michigan

A lot of golf courses are getting on Twitter, so I thought it made sense to start a collection. Some are doing a better job of using it than others, as you’ll see. If you know of one that I should add, just leave it in the comments below and I’ll be sure to add [...]

White Deer Run Golf Club, Vernon Hills, IL

White Deer Run Golf Club is located in Vernon Hills, Illinois. I had the pleasure of playing this golf course on a lazy Sunday morning in the middle of August.

The Bog Golf Course - Saukville, WI

The Bog Golf Course is in Saukville Wisconsin, north of Milwaukee. At the time, there was a package deal to play The Bog and The Bull, so we decided to play them both. The Bog was opened on July 15th, 1995, so what it lacks for in history it makes up for with length and [...]

Redtail Golf Club Review – Lakewood, Illinois

Redtail Golf Club, Village of Lakewood, Illinois

We played Redtail Golf Club on a Sunday morning in early August. We got there just ahead of an outing (luckily, they weren’t having a shotgun start, so it wasn’t a problem.) Come to find out, they had 4 outings that day! That seems like a lot, especially for a Sunday but it didn’t affect [...]

Ravisloe Country Club, Homewood, Illinois

Ravisloe Country Club is a Donald Ross designed golf course in south Chicago. It was private for decades, until the recent economic troubles forced it to become public. I played here a couple times when it was private but now that it’s open, I thought I should return with a camera. What I remember most [...]

Mark Buehrle Perfect Game

My department at work had a half-day off-site networking event, as did other departments within my company (Cars.com). We went to a Chicago White Sox game as a group, numbering in the hundreds. Little did we know it would be the 18th perfect game in the history of baseball! Our seats were upper-deck, between third [...]

Chalet Hills Golf Club, Cary, IL

I played Chalet Hills Golf Club as a single on a perfect summer Sunday morning. I’ve been in the Cary, Illinois area before, playing a nearby course, Foxford Hills Golf Club. There some great elevation changes in this area of Illinois so I thought I’d give it a shot. After I checked in I took [...]
