PinHighCaddie Puts Class On The Grass

OK, so we’re all excited to play Chambers Bay. The beautiful views, championship-caliber holes — it’s too good to be true, right? Well, in one small way, yes ... it’s a no-cart course. It’s a small price to pay for playing such a beautiful course, but still, lugging the bag up and down those dunes [...]

Compete Like A Pro

One of the nation’s largest handicap golf tournaments, the American Amateur Championship (AAC) pits golfers of all ages, genders and handicaps together in a four-day tournament, July 24-27, 2008, with the chance to play some of the region’s premier courses and compete for the title of 2008 American Amateur Champion.

Who Needs Birdies When We Have Ponies?

Golfers like to gamble. Whether it’s going for the green from 220 yards over a water hazard, or laying $2 a hole with our buddies, taking a few risks makes the game more fun. Heck, impromptu putting challenges are at least a weekly occurrence around the offices of Cascade Golfer. What can we say? We’re [...]

Snoqualmie Falls Keeps It In The Family

Unlike its private neighborhood brethren, TPC at Snoqualmie Ridge, Snoqualmie Falls Golf Course makes no pretension of country-club hauteur. And that’s just why we like it.
Rated one of Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play“ in 2004, Snoqualmie Falls has managed to avoid the rush to “bigger“ and “better“ that has consumed many courses in the [...]

Wired In

My buddy Seth used to say his swing looked a lot like Fred Couples — silky smooth. In reality, I thought he was less Couples and more John Daly — fast, sure, but about as smooth as a bull in a china shop.
The fact is, few golfers have any idea what their own swing looks [...]

2008 BMW Northwest Skins Game

An event so nice, we’ll do it twice.
That’s the thinking behind the 2008 BMW Northwest Skins Game, which will take place in part at The Classic Golf Club in Spanaway the weekend of Sept. 12-13.
Tournament host and PGA Tour star Ryan Moore, a Puyallup native who calls The Classic home, will be joined by [...]

Oh, So Close

Ryan, we couldn’t believe it.
We knew you wouldn’t be bothered by a wet course on the final day at April’s Byron Nelson Classic — heck, you learned your game in the rain … it’s the sunny days that you have to adjust for. And after those amazing par saves in the playoff, at 18 and [...]

A Women’s Golf Legacy

With Lorena Ochoa having temporarily claimed the mantle of the world’s best golfer in 2008, it’s worth noting that women have been at the center of the golf world for more than half a century — a fact the Greater Seattle Women’s Public Golf Association is proud to trumpet. Founded in 1950, the GSWPGA [...]

Easy Learning

One of these days, either a friend or family member are going to ask you to teach them how to play
golf, or to help them with their swing.
Now listen, because this may be the most important lesson you ever receive from this magazine: Do not, under any circumstances, accept this request. Teaching golf ­— like [...]

Eye Candy – Eastern Oasis

It’s a bear market out there — and no, we’re not talking about the housing crunch. We’re talking about Lake Chelan’s Bear Mountain Ranch Golf Resort, which in just three years has already become a Cascade Golfer favorite for those days when we’re willing to drive the extra mile for an unbelievable round. And we’re [...]
