Wow, have we had a lot of rain this winter and it's not over yet. But when the weather does change in spring Oregon has some great golf. My two regular courses here are Chehalem Glenn a newer course in Newberg and Langdon Farms which will host the local US Open qualifier this year on May 10th. But I think my favorite local course is still The Reserve South Course. A John Fought design, it has over 120 bunkers, lots of water and it's nice and long so you can take the driver out of the bag and let r rip!

For once I'm happy to say I'm in The Sand Trap!

I am a freelance web developer and am always grateful for leads.

Welcome to the forums.

My wife and I moved from Portland, OR to Omaha NE (thanks med school) about a year and a half ago.  Although I don't miss the rain, Oregon has some spectacular tracks.  I loved playing Langdon, The Reserve and Pumpkin Ridge when I was living in the area... hopefully we will find our way back there soon!

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
