Cerritos Ironwood 9 - August 29th

I got to play 9 holes after work today!


I didn't hit all that well but I got to PLAY GOLF!


Mike, whom I've met the last time I was at Cerritos did pretty good! He was having a great day! Me, I got in the water hazard twice (#2 and #9) and got no pars at all but it was still a 2% improvement over the last time I was at Ironwood Nine!


Also earlier in the week, I got new grips and shorten my new/used Odyssey 2-ball putter:

Cerritos Ironwood 9 - August 1st

I got to play 9 holes after work today. I join Julian and his son Julian Jr. on the course.


It was a beautiful day on the course. I missed GOLF!!!

It was nicest time of the day to play too!


On the 9th fairway, I hit my drive into the water hazard and it popped right back out on the shore! My playing partners laughed and said that I should have video taped it! I shot a so-so 46 but putted a low 15! Hmmm, maybe I should reconsider getting a new (expensive) putter!

It was good to golf again after three weeks off!

Afternoon at Cerritos Ironwood

Cerritos Ironwood Nine is one my favorite executive course!


I had a couple pretty good drives #2 and #4 courses both par 4's.


Yup, I still tee up with these Wal-mart golf balls!


It was a beautiful fall afternoon! I shot a 48/19 today.

Cerritos Ironwood with Wilson

Played 9 holes with Wilson this morning at Ironwood Nine.




Thanks to Wilson, I have this cool sequences of shots (unfortunately, I sliced this one and had to take a drop for a lost ball but pretty cool, huh)!


Here's Wilson on his first drive of the day.


Here's he is taking a nice shot over the water hazard.


I was playing cold the first few holes but I almost got this chip in!




Here's Wilson taking a long putt!


Here, he's taking a chip shot.


The #8 hole, next to last.


DB at #9


Wilson goes for another long putt at #9

It was fun! I didn't do as well as week but I did par'd the last hole!

9 holes at Cerritos Iron Wood Nine

This is a GREAT way to spend my vacation day!!!

Joined up with Benny and Rod at IronWood Nine this afternoon. We tee'd off at 12:45pm and finished at 2:25pm. I had pretty bad start, hit past the greens with my pitching wedge on the first hole and lost two balls driving on the 2nd tee box (right into the water hazard with my 3W)!

I started to settle down afterwards. Had a great 210 plus yards drive on #4 using my TaylorMade driver and got a par on #5 and hit the green on #7. Unfortunately, I had a few three putts but I didn't lose anymore balls and was able to finish up 44/19 without taking any mullgans. Poor Benny, right after making his first par on #8, proceeded to hit 8 Titlest balls into the water hazard on the last hole (the last one on purpose). Someone was alittle frustrated!

It was a really enjoyable Friday afternoon!
