While Pebble Beach and Bandon Dunes get most of the press dedicated to West Coast, oceanfront golf resorts, you’d be doing yourself a disservice to overlook  the Ritz-Carlton resort at Half Moon Bay.  Located about an hour’s drive south of San Francisco, it’s a transportive experience. Featuring two golf courses with incredible oceanside scenery, a  gorgeous hotel  that’s been called the “most beautiful hotel” in California by Architectural Digest, and friendly, attentive staff, the Ritz-Carlton goes the extra mile to deliver a truly luxurious and otherworldly getaway. The Ocean Course debuted in 1997, four years before the  stunning luxury hotel  was added to the property. Golfers will appreciate that the resort was a golf club first and a resort second, as no concessions were made in the building of the  golf  courses. Many resort courses feature just one great oceanside hole, but the rest of the oceanfront property is reserved for housing....

Tiger Woods missed the cut at The Open Championship by five strokes after posting a two-day total of 6-over par. Woods was mostly out of the tournament after shooting a first-round 78, his worst round in a major championship since carding an 81 at the 2002 Open. After his  dramatic win at the Masters in April , Tiger Woods failed to capture that Augusta magic over the remainder of the season, including his lackluster performance at Royal Portrush, home to the 2019 Open. Woods warned the media that his game wasn’t close to being ready in the days leading up the 148th Open Championship. “(My game is) not quite as sharp as I’d like to have it right now,” Woods said after a practice round on Tuesday. Thursday’s Round On Thursday, Woods struggled early, posting a front-nine 41. After making par on each of the first four holes, Woods went 4-over on the next three holes, including a tough double-bogey at the par-3 6th. Woods had trouble in all facets of the game during this ...

Buying Guitar Strings One of the best parts of my job as a sales associate at Murphy’s Guitars in Utah is helping people find the exact tone that they’re looking for. Some customers find it right away and walk out of the store with huge smiles on their faces. Eventually I know that they’ll be back, first of all because I’m committed to giving my customers exceptional service, but secondly everyone will eventually need to change their strings. Today I’m going to walk you through searching for the perfect pack of strings.  Electric, Acoustic, or Classical? When a customer walks in and says, “I need guitar strings” It’s basically a game of 20 questions. Start with general questions, and filter it down to the most specific. The first question that I will ask 100% of the time is, “are these for an Electric, Acoustic, or Classical Guitar?” Seems easy enough, but just to be sure. knowledge on guitar anatomy and parts for Gibson guitars is very important for every guitarist Aco...

During the 25 years I’ve worked on guitars, I’ve had many clients bring in a recently purchased used electric for a setup, only to discover that the axe has serious underlying problems that were not disclosed by the seller. Most guitars you find in a reputable music store have been checked out by the shop’s in-house repair team and are sold at a fair price. But in many cases, instruments acquired from online auctions, pawnshops, or flea markets are not always the “killer deal” they appear to be. To help you avoid buying a used electric guitar that would cost more to repair than it’s worth, let’s look at some critical things you need to check before making a purchase. These are common problems that can get overlooked when you’re smitten by a flashy paint job or a cool design. Fit and finish.  The first thing most players notice on an electric guitar is the finish. Normal finish checking doesn’t detract from a used instrument’s value, but stains and discolorations do, so it’s...

For the larger part of my adult life, I’ve been on a relentless quest to beat the fatigue and exhaustion that overcame me on the regular. I haven’t had any notable health issues and sure as anything, I refused to accept that struggling through the daily productivity slump at work was just a regular part of life. Going vegan has certainly made a difference. Adopting a plant-based diet felt like a fog was lifted from my mind, making me feel more energetic, optimistic, and awake. Most importantly, I can have a hearty meal without being overcome by an inexorable desire to take a nap before I’m even finished eating. However, I can’t say that the quest has ended. Although I’ve been learning to  restore my energy mindfully , introduced more physical activity, and even started taking exercise breaks during working hours, my major issue remains that afternoon “energy vacuum” we all seem to experience. Now, I’m a strong believer in  supplementation when done right , so it was on...

Super glue plays an important role in many types of guitar repair. At our shop, we use it in dozens of ways, but unless you understand its properties and know how to handle it safely, you can wind up in trouble in a matter of seconds. Let’s spend some time exploring super glue and ways to use it effectively in common projects. Some background.  Super glue is cyanoacrylate, a fast-acting adhesive commonly referred to as CA glue. You’ll find it marketed under various names—Super Glue, Krazy Glue, Gorilla Glue, Hot Stuff, etc.—and it’s widely used in manufacturing, woodworking, medical, dental, forensic, and automotive fields. Super glue is basically an acrylic resin that dries quickly. Super glue is sold in various thicknesses that range from “water thin” to a thick gel. It’s important to choose the correct thickness for a given project. For example, thin and ultra-thin formulas flow into tiny spaces and dry instantly, which makes them useful for gluing in a string nut or seatin...
