A person not to be named crossed my path today and said there was a faint rumor the Creek Course at Moose Run would be shut down. The closing of Eagleglen once started with a rumor, but that doesn’t mean anything. The reason for the rumor was problems with maintaining the greens.
Is Alaskan golf season here yet
As we set our watches forward an hour today, we are still two full months or more from golf season in Alaska. With daylight hours getting longer, however, the mind starts to wander toward my favorite game. I’m thinking about how much I will get to play this year. The past two years, I’ve barely […]
Having fun with quantum physics
The never ending story search brought me to Oppenheimer and Interstellar in recent weeks. Both movies are founded in science, which makes for tedious viewing at times. I don’t hate science or anything, but does it really belong in the movies? For the record, I ranked both movies relatively high at 7 out of 10, […]
Not just a golf blog
If you read this blog at all, you may have gathered JJ Petes goes slightly beyond golf, but you may not know there is another domain name to get here with. Neveress.com will bring you to this blog. It stands for Never Ending Story Search. I’ve loved stories in form of books and movies most […]
UAA basketball was a hit
A while ago, I visited a UAA basketball game for the first time in years. As I suspected, the game itself was an easy November win for the Seawolves. The new arena was much nicer than the old and I definitely will be back. There seemed to be a lot more dunking in pre-game warmups […]
Writing is tough while on vacation
My goal was to write a journal entry every day while on vacation, documenting the best golf trip of my life every step of the way. I managed just three posts. The posts, which are immediately preceding this article on the blog, are nothing special. They are tired ramblings of a tired golfer, mostly. One […]
Generating more thoughts on fatigue
My 36-hole day made it impossible to make a journal entry that evening, so I made one upon waking. I must be getting old, for the fatigue factor remains front and center. Oddly enough, fatigue was never a factor later in the trip at Bandon, where we walked every round. I’ll write more about that […]
A brief Day 1 summary
The fist day of golf on vacation was an exciting one. I went all out like a starving man at a dinner table for the first time in ages, which explains why there was little energy remaining to make a journal entry. Here is what I managed to type out: End of Day 1 Fatigue […]
Part 1 of a journalistic experiment
My recent vacation was a big event for me, so I tried to keep a journal. Most days it was impossible to do, but I managed a few entries. This is the first: This little story begins in Oregon, where I am treating this golf trip as my last chance to play golf on this […]
The biggest local sport we have
When I used to be a sports writer in Anchorage, I covered the UAA basketball teams regularly. I went to games twice a week and did occasional side stories about players. It was always my favorite sport to cover, mostly because I grew up loving basketball, but also because the facility was the best for […]
