I return to Black Mesa Golf Club, one of the finest golf courses on our planet

Over the last few years I’ve developed a great friendship with Eddie Peck, principal at Black Mesa Golf Club in New Mexico.  Eddie and I have shared many a great meal and smoked many cigars together and of course, played many rounds of golf at some great courses around the country from Ballyneal to the TPC Sawgrass.   As good as some of those courses are, Eddie’s Black Mesa is quite possibly the best course I’ve ever played.  I had the pleasure of playing the course a couple of years ago and I did a review which can be found here.

I’m excited to announce that I’m returning to Black Mesa this Sunday and I’ll be there through Wednesday.  I’ll be cramming in as many holes of golf on this world class Baxter Spann design when I’m not checking out the land which will soon be home for Black Mesa’s 2nd course, groundbreaking this summer.  The 2nd course will be designed by my favorite course designer, Tom Doak.  You may have heard of some of Doak’s previous projects like the aforementioned Ballyneal or the Doak course at Bandon in Oregon?  Yes, Spock.

Down and dirty at Black Mesa’s 2nd course, which breaks ground this summer…

I can’t announce anything quite yet about what I’m doing or what the arrangements will be, because there aren’t any yet.  But I’ve been in discussions with Eddie and his PR firm about being the official blog for the progress of the Doak course construction.  Naturally that would require the real tough gig that I be at BM numerous times over the two years, the time it will take to get the course built.  I’ll have to do a sit down or two with Tom Doak and pick his brain.  That won’t suck.

For good measure here’s another shot from Black Mesa for your enjoyment below.  You can access my Black Mesa Gallery here, which now has close to 300 images.
