Seroka's golf blog: The beauty of MN Valley and Bearpath

6:12 PM, Aug 7, 2012

Doesn't it always seem like it rains before the rounds you're most excited about it. Driving out to Minnesota Valley Country Club, it was pouring. I mean, raining Garfields and Marmadukes.

Here's the great thing about this obsession I have with playing all the courses in the Twin Cities metro.

Golf Blog: A round at one of the metro's classics

7:22 AM, Jul 17, 2012

There are few things that feel better than a well-struck golf shot. We use the term "solid" to describe a flushed iron or a compressed driver off the tee. We use the term solid to describe golfers who have a good all-around game, whether it's from the tee, fairway, or greenside rough. I came away from my round at Minnetonka Country Club thinking it was a solid course.

Golf blog: Crossing Brackett's off my Twin Cities bucket list

11:10 AM, Jul 2, 2012

I have previously written about my penchant for doing pre-round research on a golf course online. I found the website for Brackett's Crossing in Lakeville to be more than pleasant to look at.

So after an extended layoff, due to non-golf related ACL surgery (basketball), I have finally dusted off the sticks and headed back to the course.

Howl Yeah! It's February and the Wolves have a winning record

1:28 PM, Feb 10, 2012

It occurred to me the other day that as the Wolves were on the brink of breaking the .500 barrier, I had yet to see them win.

Was that the Wolves blowing the lid off after the lockout?

Fire up the bandwagon. Jump on. I'm driving. There were 19,000 others on board Monday night as the Wolves owner, Glen Taylor, played with some brand new race cars (Rubio, Barea, and D. Williams) the day after Christmas. A couple of dependable Tonka trucks carried the workload (Love and Beasley) and the stocking stuffer was a screaming coach with a long history of success.

Goodbye golf clubs... hello shovel!

11:15 PM, Nov 6, 2011

My game has already gone south for the winter. At golf's most glorious time in the Midwest, my driver snap-hook heads straight west the moment the ball leaves the club face. I've got 2 frost delays under my belt and have conceded that its' time to put 2011 to bed.

Golf Blog: 2 more great metro area country club courses before the snow flies

9:06 PM, Oct 30, 2011

I have always believed October is the best month for golf in Minnesota. The trees are colorful, the air is crisp, and usually there are fewer people out on the course.

Golf blogger gets a lesson; tees up at 2 of the Twin Cities' best

I don't consider "Happy Gilmore" a golf movie, yet every time I'm flipping channels and I run across it, I watch.

3 times a lady: Dad severely outnumbered in Casa de Seroka

8:41 PM, Sep 18, 2011

Okay, this may not be the best analogy but stay with me. We just purchased one of those crossover thingies. You know, one-third station wagon, one-third mini-van, one-third SUV. It's called a Dodge Journey and it's gray. I call it the Millennium Falcon (it's pretty big). My gosh, we are domestic with a capital D.

Still clubbin': golf blogger continues to find 'privacy'

9:20 PM, Sep 11, 2011

My golf game is in complete disarray. And while my golf game seems to be at its worst, I happen to be playing some of the best courses the metro has to offer. The private club tour continues and I think I'm completely sold on joining a club next year (my wife is not on board...yet).
