Finishing up our 18 holes at Birch Hills, it would be our last round there for a while as BH shuts down for renovations for the next 6 - 9 months into Fall 2011.


Lunch afterward at Islands in Brea.

14 holes at River View Golf (Santa Ana)

Golfing with former coworkers at River View GC


Course Map ... last time I was here, the place half opened due to flooding.


Looking forward to trying to play a full 18 holes! Unfortunately, we only got in 14 by darkness.


Wai putting as Charlie looks on.


Jeff teeing up trying to hit over the Santa River (or atleast lay up his shot).


Waiting to cross the river while Charlie is assessing his layup shot.


Charlie teeing off back across the Santa Ana River.


Wai teeing off from the same spot as Charlie.


After 14 holes, we head over to Orange for dinner at Tutto Fresco.


Yum! Lots of Pasta!


I made one more stop at the Kogi Truck after dinner for takeout!

18 holes at Black Gold Golf Club

I've been waiting for months to play at Black Gold Golf Club and it finally happened today!



My very generous friends gave me a nice gift certificate for two rounds of golf, range balls and use of a GPS equipped golf cart!


Haven't played or practiced in over two months so I didn't do all that well (plus it was alittle windy when we started).


Played with my regular golf partner Wai, she did pretty good on this course!


We saw a beautiful sunset from the 17th green and managed to just finish the 18 holes by near darkness at 6:20pm or so. It was a very nice course and the staff was very friendly!

Thanks E & M for your wonderful gift! It was worth saving this thru my unemployment time and using it just before starting my new job!
