AVIDGOLFER: There is a saying on the PGA TOUR of “horses for courses,” meaning some players always play well on the same course. Did you always have success at TPC Craig Ranch? Taylor Pendrith: I had never played there for a Byron Nelson tournament, but I played for two Korn Ferry Q-schools and missed the cut both times. Never came close. I always thought I liked the course, but never played well there until last year. AG: Last year’s final round at the Nelson was pretty wild.

The westernmost part of Canada is closer than you think. Vancouver Island – situated between the respective U.S. and Canadian landmasses – proves its country’s warmest region, a tenet which translates to Canada’s most diverse playground. Across an island on which one can literally ski, surf, golf and fish – all in the same day — those seeking clubs in-hand all year ‘round will be well-sated with a 40-course array of opportunity.

Sherrill Park is municipal golf at its finest. Two courses, each offering a different challenge while maintaining solid conditions and playability for all skill levels. Sherrill Park No. 2 just underwent an extensive renovation of greens, tees and bunkers, as well as drainage improvements which will help conditions during the rainy spring months. The renovation gives this historic municipal a rejuvenated vibe, making a trip to Richardson well worth the effort.

I’ve long admired the Lexus brand. The name immediately conjures thoughts of refinement, luxury, comfort and exquisitely smooth rides while enjoying consistent high reliability ratings via J.D. Power surveys. Good reasons why I see so many Lexus SUVs on the road. Lexus aficionados had to wait two decades to gaze upon and drive a true third-row option.In quick summary, this lovely ride brings style, comfort, technology and dependability.

Tucked in a back alley near Commerce Street, between the Dallas Historic District and Deep Ellum, sits one of the finest restaurants in the city. Sushi | Bar is a concept renowned for its fresh, vibrant take on omakase-style sushi. Seating begins at three different times every evening (5:00, 7:15 and 9:30), and with just two rooms and 10 seats per room, to say this is an exclusive reservation would be an understatement.
