Sycuan Resort, El Cajon...

First time ever breaking 80 on a course I played for the first time!

Broke 80 !!!! Yeah!

Redhawk Golf Club - Temecula

Played with David Lee...

The Course - narrow fairways, multi tiered greens, Island green on a Par 3 was kewl...

But the course was tough...shot 97! yikes! Just happy to break 100...

The Prize...

Who will win the Prize???

The Third best shot of my life...

Moffet Field, Hole 8. Par 4. I hooked my drive to about 120 yards from the green on the far side of the T-box of Hole 9. I was behind a tree, couldn't see the green. The ball was up against a tree and I could see the roots of the tree are next to my ball.

I took a 7 iron, and I knew I had to hook the ball around the tree and hope and pray it's somewhere near the green or in the fairway. Worst case would be the bunker, right???

I hit the shot on the Green about 18 ft from the hole...

That's got to be the third best shot of my life...

The first and second best shots of my life were hole-in-one's! :-)

Golf...

Shot 1 under on the first 4 holes at Poppy Ridge Zinfindel Course. After 5 holes, I was 4 over!

That's golf...

Shot 82 at Spring Valley!

Only 2 over in the front and 10 over in the back! Ouch! It was windy and I was doing really well. Easy Drives in the fairways, and nice approach shots to the greens!

Darn it! I was so close to breaking 80 Today!

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...
