About Marcus Yearout

In some kind of evil plot waiting to unfold, I've been assigned by Bellingham Tourism staff the dubious task of playing golf in Whatcom County and letting you know how it goes; crazy, huh? I am a slightly better than bogie golfer, though I often fall short of that potential. Pursuant to my assigned task, I'll be playing and posting regular blogs and Facebook feeds from the courses I play throughout the year so please comment on my stories, become a fan or friend or whatever it takes to stay in touch so I'll feel wanted.

As I play golf this year, I'll be checking in to let anyone who cares know how the day went. There are over a dozen truly great courses in Whatcom County so I'll try to hit them all and give you my post-round thoughts.

Golf: Humbling Homestead is a Hoot

Golf: Humbling Homestead is a Hoot

By Marcus Yearout / May 21, 2014

By Marcus Yearout / April 28, 2014

  Overlooking one of the many wetlands at Grandview Golf Course. In 2014, I have decided to play all of the courses in Whatcom County in alphabetical order. Not being a member of the Bellingham ... [Continue Reading]

Delightful Dakota Creek Golf Course

Delightful Dakota Creek Golf Course

By Marcus Yearout / April 7, 2014

It has rained steadily for quite a few days this spring, so when the clouds parted this week, even if ever so briefly, I decided to play hooky for a morning and headed to what turned out to be a ... [Continue Reading]

My Spring Action Plan from A to Z

My Spring Action Plan from A to Z

By Marcus Yearout / March 21, 2014

  I enjoy winter golf in Whatcom County; the wide open parking lots (I do suffer from parking issues bordering on OCD), the pace of play, the look on pro shop staff faces when I walk in with ... [Continue Reading]

Golf: Let the (mind) games begin!

Golf: Let the (mind) games begin!

By Marcus Yearout / March 5, 2014

Between the Seahawks and snowing and blowing and freezing and whining, I haven’t had any time to devote to golf over the past few weeks… well, maybe except for the whining part. I’ve got that down ... [Continue Reading]
