After the Round – Poured
Wine is the adult beverage of choice for a lot of people. Whether you are a true connoisseur or just someone who enjoys a glass with a nice meal from time to time, wine is a great accompaniment to any dish. That being said, I fall into the latter category, as someone who predominantly partakes […]
Course Review – Rockwood
When we last visited Rockwood in Fort Worth, the course had just undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation compliments of local architects John Colligan and Trey Kemp. In the three years since, the course has thrived as one of the top municipal options in the Metroplex. Now, a recently completed new clubhouse becomes the final piece of […]

Course Review – Tempest Golf Club
Gladewater, Texas, isn’t exactly known to the DFW area as a golf getaway destination, but those who have made the drive two hours east know the value and riveting layout of Tempest Golf Club.

After the Round – The Meat Board
A good butcher shop can be hard to find these days. Largely disposed of by large corporate grocery chains and membership-only big-box stores, the days of walking up to a small, independently owned meat counter and selecting your cut has largely fallen by the wayside. But if you are on Fort Worth’s west side, you’re […]

The 2021 AT&T Byron Nelson was at a new venue in McKinney’s TPC Craig Ranch. Most fans and players felt the course and surrounding area was a premiere location to hold a PGA Tour event. Not too far from the new Nelson digs sits a lesser-known dining experience that you might want to consider if […]
Course Review – Indian Creek Golf Club
Indian Creek Golf Club in Carrollton has always been on the AG radar as one of the premiere public facilities in DFW. With a renovation of the Lakes Course that was completed in 2019, it only reinforced our enjoyment of the property. The renovation of the Lakes, which was handled by Todd Clark, the President […]
Travel – Omni Barton Creek
The Texas Hill Country is always awe-inspiring. It doesn’t seem there are a lot of Texans who appreciate just how infinitely different the various regions of our vast state can be. From the Gulf Coast to the vast, flat red dirt of West Texas, to the mountainous region known as the Big Bend, we have […]
