Born on the Bayou! Lake Charles, Louisiana

by Dave Finn

Lake Charles LA – “Chasin’ down a hoodoo there.”  Even though it reminds me of my golf game, I’m sure John Fogerty from the famed rock group Creedence Clearwater Revival never imagined that his song would be an inspiration for a golf article.  His lyrics are more about living in Louisiana rather than chasing a little white ball, but still the song continues to resonate with me!

Golf in Southwest Colorado

Southwest Colorado – You are so beautiful to me! by Dave Finn

Most people I talk to associate Colorado with Coors beer, the Denver Bronco’s Mile High Stadium and world renowned downhill snow skiing at Vale and Aspen mountains.   What many don’t realize is that Colorado is a land of contrasts with a diverse topography that ranges from flat-topped mesas to raging rivers valleys, from lush orchards to desolate desert badlands.  Head for the southwestern corner of the state and discover nature at her finest along with endless year round opportunities for any golfer or outdoor sport enthusiast.
