  • Golf, golf, and more golf

    Andy Hoye has played golf for 50 years, and thinks he’s a little better than he was 20 years ago. His personal best score is a 77 at Liberty Lake. Handicap varies, but not into single digits yet. Andy tries to play at least twice a week, and also builds and repairs clubs. “I’ve been involved in computers and the Internet since 1974, but mainly I like to play, practice and talk about golf, particularly around Spokane.”

    Steve Bergum has been writing about golf in the Pacific Northwest and covering the region’s major tournaments for two decades. He’s a longtime sports writer for The Spokesman-Review and writes a weekly golf column Saturdays during the spring, summer and fall months, and currently carries a 9 handicap — but hasn’t cashed in a pro-am event since he was 12.

  • Tete-a-Tee

    Susan grew up in the Midwest, and after much traveling and living in various regions, she landed in Spokane. She loves the area and has decided to stay. She works for the Air Force as a security specialist, and enjoys activities in all four seasons – snow skiing, fly fishing, bike riding, golf and more. Her golfing is “still in its developmental stage,” but she plays as much as possible, even if it’s just nine holes after work.

  • Where To Play

    Eric has an 8 handicap and lives near Qualchan. He was born and raised in Spokane and one of the reasons he loves the area is the quality and variety of the golf courses, and the good people who play them. His home course is the Creek at Qualchan and the best course he’s ever played was Oregon’s Bandon Dunes. Some day he’d like to play Cypress Point.
