Average Joe Golfer: Meet Eric Hoxsie, Western New York Passionate Golfer #3
In 2013, rather than interview the champions of local, state and national events (who knows, we still might…) BuffaloGolfer.Com chooses to honor the passionate golfers of western New York, from all walks of life. Lawyers, bus drivers, cooks, cleaners, you name it. If...
Sand Them Roads: Day Three @ Pine Needles
Editor's Note: The author succumbed to the wretched state of his health, combined with a previously-acquired illness and got a bit behind. This is Tuesday's installment. The brief trip across Midland road was our grace. While we would have like to complete all the...
Who is Charlie Beljan?

I suspected that "sand them roads" would reference melting of the ice and snow on the roads of West Virginia and Virginia, not the fairways of Dormie. The Pinehurst area had enjoyed temperatures in the 60s for a few weeks, including a nice 65 on Friday, the day we...

Almost Free To Stay In Santee, SC
