Shot 91 at Silver Creek CC

Rain or shine, Greens were ssssooooo fast. I shot 8 over on the front and 11 over in the back. Wind and rain was the norm. Oh well. Better luck next time....

Most Expensive 9 holes of golf !!!

So I was really getting itchy to play golf, on a rainy day, that's a bad idea...on a windy day in Livermore, Poppy Hills GC, it's even worse than a bad idea...Let me explain...

So I'm playing 2 balls on the Merlot course, with 40 mph winds, I'm losing on average 2 balls per hole...Needless to say, after 9 holes, and about 15 balls later, I was done! REALLY!

Total cost : $46 dollars, let's just say a box of balls $20, plus gas, and frustration! I would say at least $75 bucks for 9 holes!

I was cold, hungry, and tired...

I have to admit, it was a bad idea... :-( I never thought I would say that about playing golf...

New Golf Club Project!!!

Let the Good Times Begin!!!

I drove a Par 4!!!

Ridgemark Golf Course, Diablo Course. Hole 13, Par 4, 267 Uphill. I drove the green with my Titlest 9 degree, driver. I had 6-7 feet for eagle, but didn't make it. Birdie no less.

Shot 8 over in the front and 5 over in the back. Considering the back is harder (35 par vs. 37 for the front). It wasn't a bad day...

First Korean Figure Skater to win GOLD!!!

What can you say about Kim Yuna???!!!

Her heart, innocence, and skating a perfect program! It was such a joy to watch and seeing her win the Gold!

I was never so proud to see her stand on the podium and when I saw the Korean flag to up and watching Yuna brought a tear to my eye!

And also the Canadian skater, Joannie Rochette! What a story! Her mom passes away and she skates her heart out to win an Olympic medal! Wow! Wow!

What a long day!...

Played East Valley GC in Beaumont, The Legends Course. Dinner with Mt. View Church gang replanted to Loma Linda! Richard Yai, Chris Jeon, Brian Lee, Justin Kim, David, Jessica Youk, and Gracee, Kisoo, Harry, James and Fiance! It was just like church...NOT!

Then it was off to Katrina's Basketball game...

Let's see, they got slammed, I saw a banner in the gym with Damian and Katrina's name on them...forever in history of Loma Linda Academy...Haha....

...then trying to drive home at 10pm...not such a good idea.

I think after 2100 miles from Texas, Tucson, San Diego, to Loma Linda, started to wear on me...

I got 1/2 home and had to call it a night and slept in the truck...but the good news is...

I made it to church for the first time in over a year!

Carmel Mountain Ranch CC

I don't know when they took the pictures on their website, but it sure didn't look anything like it!

The greens were nice. Small, but very challenging. Undulated, and multi-tiered greens. You had to hit the ball straight to have a chance at the greens. There was 1 hole on the front 9, HOLE 7, Par 4, 340 yards, or something. One of the guys I was playing with drove the green and hit a big Rock next to the green.

The group was still on the GREEN! Man they were pissed! When we made the turn, they let us play through, and cuz the guys I were playing with were so big, they really didn't have much to say to us. :-)

Not bad course for $33 bucks, it was okay.

Losers!!!! Chargers!!! --Winner - Lolita's for George!

Loser - Patrick and the Chargers!

Thanks, Patrick!

36 Holes in Tuscon (Green Valley)...

WYNDAM HOTEL - CANOA RANCH GOLF COURSE

Nice Links style golf course. Fair and interesting. Feb was perfect for this course.

Afternoon round was on Tubac (No relation to Tupac!) ...Tubac is known for the Famous TIN CUP movie and the 4th hole on the RANCHO COURSE is the famous Water HOLE!!!

Of course, I had to put one in the drink! LOL!!!

3 down and 10 to go...

3 of the 13 Fogo de Chao - Sao Paulo, Beverly Hills, and Dallas/Addison...

Hmmm...so good...

Somebody Pinch me...

I think I'm dreamin'!!! I met Blair O'Neil on my flight to Dallas! My gosh, I saw her out of the corner of my eye in the terminal, but we were going in opposite directions, and I was thinking, "I know her from the LPGA."

Sure enough! Then she's on my flight to Dallas and when we stopped at El Paso, the flight attendant says to her, "Hey this guy thinks you're someone from the LPGA." She smiled and I think she was flattered that I recognized her. I asked her if I could take her picture and wow!

She's so beautiful, she even makes ME look good!!!
