Soboba Springs Rental House

There is a home for rent at the Country Club Soboba Springs at Soboba Springs, and it makes a great seasonal rental. For "snowbirds" wanting to escape the Northern colds and play great economical golf at a course "fit for the pros", Soboba is worth considering. It is available per week or per month, or longer if need be. This week it is home to Tjaart Van der Walt, who opened with 69 (-2) and is two strokes out of the lead after round one of the Soboba Classic (Nationwide Tour, see The Golf Channel), held in part by his housemate Craig Bowden who birdied the par-5 18th hole to post 67, 4 under. Good playing guys. I am glad you are staying at my Soboba house, may it be lucky to you. The house will be available starting next week for interested amateurs everywhere. Please let me know if you want it! Email: tigerlight@roadrunner.com

Nationwide Soboba Classic:Pro-Am

Wed. Sept. 30, 2009: The Country Club at Soboba Springs hosts the Nationwide Tour this week . Played with pals Johnny Bench, Kurt Bevaqua and Jerry Howse in the Pro-Am with Aussie Adam Bland, currently 30th on the money list (top 25 get their PGA Card for next year, so this week is a big one). Purse: $1,000,000. Had a good day. Thanks to Jesse Ortiz and Bobby Jones Golf for the Hybrid's and Pelz Wedges, thanks to Chris Stevens at Keurig. They made good pro-am gifts. Had a few laughs out there with the boys, Craig and Adam (the caddie/pro) didn't know what hit them. Of course, they had no idea the Johnny was The Big Red Machines #5 Captain but they got the hang of it. Having not played since May, i was happy to make two 30 foot birdies, proving to Johnny that i am a long time member of Soboba (after much play that did, however, doubt that fact.)

AHW in West Wing

This clip from NBC's long-running political drama West Wing features Alex confronting White House communications director Toby Zeigler (Emmy winner Richard Schiff) during their visit to Orange County, California. Originally aired in 2005. Filmed on the Warner's lot.

AHW as Gen. Burnside

In this clip Alex portrays Brigidier Gen. Ambrose Burnside in Warner Brother's Civil War epic Gods and Generals. Burnside was the Commander of the Union Army during the Winter campaigns of 1862-63. This scene finds Burnside revealing tactics to his Division commanders leading up to the fateful battle of Fredericksburg, which resulted in a huge defeat for the Union and a great morale boosting victory for the Confederates, commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee (Robert Duvall). The battle of Fredericksburg is also noteworthy as the first urban battle in U.S. history as the town, later looted by the victors, was situated very close to the battlefields.

AHW as Mahoney

In this clip Alex plays the character of television political pundit Jack Mahoney, who bookends the independent drama "Reflecting Pool."
