Augusta West...


What would it be like to play a golf course where your group is the only group on the course?
Where the t-boxes are like greens, there are no marks on the greens, they putt like you're putting on glass...they bring you caviar and drink to the t-box at the turn, and you finish it with Kobe steaks and 20+ year old scotch lunch!

Amazing...

I went up and asked, "Excuse me, but are you Kim Welch?" She was so impressed?
Made my day! Made her day too!

Almaden Golf and Country Club

First time playing, Shot 85 from the Blue T's. 7 over on the front and 6 over on the back. Not bad. Made 2 birdies. One on the Par 3, I think it was the 13th, long put from 20-25 ft, and the second on the 17th off the green and made a 30 ft putt!!!

Not an easy course! Short par 4's but you have to be straight and accurate off the T's! Good Day!

Sandy - Birdie

Silver Creek Country Club...One of my favorite holes of all golf is the #9 hole! Elevated T-box and a 100 ft drop, view of the East Foothills of San Jose just makes this one of the most beautiful holes.

I drove my T shot to the left side about 150 yards out. Hit my second shot to the bunker on the right front.

Then "A Miracle" Sand Shot!!! Out of the bunker, and rolled into the hole for A BIRDIE!!!

First Sandy Birdie!

Say goodbye to Corde Valle

Finally broke 90 at Corde Valle. Shot 8 over on the front but only 5 over in the back to shoot an 85. Personal best for me.... It's not really good bye but see you later....
