Back to LB Big Rec after 5 years

Long Beach "Big Rec" Golf Course

It was nice to see to nice improvements made since 2007.

The short piecemeal driving ranges were the same.

Big Rec's Club house and restaurant.
Hugo and Winston are ready to start their round.

Our foursome is backed up with another foursome in front of us; we teed off around 9:30am.
Hugo had only been playing for a few weeks but he hit some great shot on the fairway.

Winston bombed some great drives today!

Peter continues to improve. This was only the 2nd 18 hole that he's ever played.

It's not reflected in my score today but I hit a lot of great drives, chips, and putted well (it's all the shots in between the drive and the short game that I messed up on).

Still, I had fun playing on this course again after an absences of nearly five years and I actually finished the 18 holes for the first time ever. (Only played less than 18 or 9 holes here before on four previous outing). I love this course because it's totally wide open and NO WATER HAZARDS!

Afterwards, Winston and I grabbed some really late lunch at the nearby L & L BBQ in Long Beach. His wife works just down the street from the golf course.
Believe it or not this was the "mini" BBQ chicken bowl!
Good Times at Long Beach Big Rec Golf Course! Thanks Peter for treating me to a really fun round of golf, hope you're feeling more confident for your workplace golf tourney now!
