Sisyphus is that Greek guy who had to push a rock up a hill for eternity, so the sixth hole at the Moose Run Hill Course will be called by his name from now on, for obvious reasons. I think, if you used a fancy measuring device normally reserved for engineers, you would find even […]
Kevdved shows promise as course designer
There is an Xbox video game called The Golf Club that allows you to build your own golf courses. Kevin Daniels, whose gamer tag is Kevdved designed a couple on there and they play pretty nice. I’ve played several courses designed by friends and many of them become either unruly and difficult to enjoy or […]
Roller Coaster
The fifth hole at Moose Run’s Hill Course will be called Roller Coaster forever more, at least by me. This relatively easy par 5 is a chance for birdie or even eagle if you can navigate the moguls that populate the fairway. The tee box sits low and you blast a tee shot over a […]
Dunkin’ Donut
The fourth hole on the Moose Run Hill Course will go by the name Dunkin’ Donut. The green is almost perfectly round, though the only hole in the middle is the golf hole, the one with the flag sticking out of it. If you miss the donut short, your ball could be taking a dunk […]
The Slicer
The third hole at the Moose Run Hill Course will be called The Slicer. The reason behind this is twofold. First, the ideal shot around the dogleg right is a bit of a slice; second, if you slice the heck out of the tee shot, you are usually just fine. There is a third thing, […]
Humpback
I call the second hole at the Moose Run Hill Course Humpback for obvious reasons. The middle of the hole is a giant hump or hill or mountain, depending on your choice of vocabulary. On the hump are hundreds of little humps most of us call moguls. It’s a par-4 and one of the toughest […]
No. 30 is Mr. Trusty Draw
The AGB rankings expanded from 20 to 30 in 2018, so from now to spring time, I’ll take the opportunity to write what I know about the top 30. This will be a countdown of sorts, starting with old Mr. Trusty Draw himself. The 30th ranked golfer resides in what I like to call the […]
The Driving Range
You may think this post is about the driving range, but it’s really a weak attempt to get a quick blog post in before midnight while writing about a hole I call the driving range. The first hole at Moose Run’s Hill Course is so wide open, I’ve nicknamed it the driving range. A par-5 […]
Brad Bosshart, a rising AGB star?
On the first day of 2019, Brad Bosshart posted a picture of his golf bag sitting at a range with a perfectly organized arsenal of about 50 range balls and he called out Benjie Sumulong, proclaiming he was coming for the 2018 Boss. Sumulong responded by saying something like bring it on and gave a […]
Happy New Year
It’s finally 2019, a year promised by the soothsayer to be one of the best for Alaska golf in the history of Alaska or golf. That’s not really true, about the soothsayer, but I’m optimistic that something like that will happen. My goal here at the AGB is to write something every day, even if […]
