Lets welcome the Beginning Golfer Blog to the golf blogosphere.

Local Golf Conditions dot Com has a great idea. It allows players to interactively rate the playing conditions at various courses in the Maryland, DC and Virginia areas. It’s fairly limited now, but plans are to expand to other areas.

For what it’s worth, I agree with the consensus on the PB Dye course in Ijamsville, Maryland. I played there this summer and found that the fairways, greens and tee boxes were in pretty bad shape. Not at all what I expected for the premium price I paid.

The California State Parks Foundation is having a charity auction, and there are a couple of nice golf related items up for bidding: a trip to the 2008 Masters for Two, and a Scotland Golf Package.

Media Guru over at Hooked On Golf Blog recently got invited to a Mazda media junket in California.  You should read his blog over the next couple of weeks to get the full scoop.

I’m incredibly jealous and can’t figure out why your friendly neighborhood GolfBlogger wasn’t invited.

So here’s my plan: I think that General Motors should outfit me with a high end car for a week—a Buick Enclave, for example—and send me on a weekend junket to the Grand Traverse resort to play golf and enjoy the fall colors. It would be the perfect thing to promote Michigan, American Cars and the Buick golf tournaments.

Are you listening GM?
