Finally made it across the street to play the last three holes at Dad Millers (a first for newbie golfer DB)!!


Now playing solo in the dark! Almost lost my tee shot (went into the next fairway) ... where's my flashlight!


Almost finish, I'm at the start of the 18th and 495 yards to go!


I FINISHED 18 holes!!! Yippee!


My Victory Dinner! (kinda of sad, huh)!

It was a nice day of golfing! I shot a 120/34 (my putting was pretty damn good today)!

Dad Miller Golfing

It was a really windy day at Dad Miller's today! It was just me and Carl from work.


Carl is getting ready to tee off on the #1 Teebox.


Jumping ahead, Carl is teeing into the sun on the #4 teebox.


here's Carl on the fairway.



I hit a great shot from the teebox within 30 yards or so from the pin. Unfortunately, I couldn't even do a simple chip shot so I really messed up a possible birdie!


Here's Carl on the #4 green.


I was able to get my ball on the #5 Green in two strokes. Too bad I three-putted on the green for a bogey.


Here's the #8 Green (it getting darker).


By the time we got on the teebox for #9, it was getting pretty dark. We finished by 7:34pm. I lost my last three yellow ball in the last three holes.

As frustrating as today was, I shot the same total score as last week and putted better (64/18 this week as opposed to 64/25 last week).

I guess that's golf, you gotta love it!

Breaking a 100 at Birch Hills

9am on Saturday morning at my home course - Birch Hills GC in Brea! It was cool and overcast all day - perfect weather for golf!


Luis joined us for a round of 18 hole golf.


Here's Luis teeing off on the #2 teebox. Luis can really drive the ball far!

DB's ball on the #13 green (from tee).

DB's teeshot in the middle of the #14 fairway. It was a pretty decent shot. Luis' shot was better and went beyond the yellow midway flag.


I had an awesome tee shot 187 yrds on the green (about 2 1/2 feet from the flag) from a 5 wood.


DB preparing to finish up the last hole.


The 18th hole!!

It was pretty fun, I had a lot of great shots and putted much better today. I finished 95/38 (44/21 on the front 9 and 51/17 strokes on the back 9). I broke a 100 at Birch Hills (rated 57.7/91 on the blues). Birch is a par 59 course (an executive length course as oppose to a 72 plus regulation). I had three par, including a near birdie on #16 green and lots of great tee shots.

Golfing at Dad Miller's afterwork

Back to Dad Miller's!


#1 Tee Box, I had a great tee shot from here. Got on the green in two but four putted to a double bogey!



Carl takes a swing on fairway.


Rodney tends the flag for Carl.


Atleast I was all smiles starting off.


Really hazy afternoon!

Played with Carl and Rodney after work. I started off really well but I putted poorly and my game really got terrible toward the last three holes. I did have some pretty awesome tee shot though. I shot 64/25 today.

Twilight golfing at Whittier Narrows

Met Jeff for some twilight golfing at Whittier Narrows Golf Course in Rosemead. We tee off about 3:00 or so.


We decided to ride this time since Jeff forgot to bring his pull cart.


Here's one of Jeff's sand shot. The sand was pretty hard.

The #2 fairway was really short, about 117 yards or so.

DB's ball on middle of the #6 fairway


Red flag at the #6 Green


#8 fairway was pretty long!


It was a nice 9 hole course. Kinda of confusing since there weren't any course maps available. I shot a 55/20 and Jeff shot a 50/19 for the day.


Jeff wanted to go to The Venice Room in Monterey Park for dinner, you get to pay for the privilge of grilling your own steak.


da Grill-it-yourself meal!


assort seasonings


steak on the barbie


da whole meal deal!

A nice early dinner after golf. I got to see a beautiful sunset high lighting Downtown LA (in my rearview window) and a nice full moon in front of me as I was back driving home in Orange County.
