Had to scratch the golfing "itch" today ... I went to Birch Hills first at 3pm but they were full and Sundowner rate didn't start until 4:00 (it turns dark at 5:00)! After practicing putting for about 20 minutes, I packed up my clubs and drove over to their sister course at Brea Creek. I got on immediately and for the same $12 as Birch Hill's Sundowner rate.
I started alittle better than I had the last time was at Brea Creek until I got to the 5th course ...
Like the last time I was here I had a pretty good drive the #5 fairway ...
My drive went about 202 yards (about 133 yards from the green according to my lazer rangefinder) but like the last time I slice my fairway shot badly into the slopes on the right of the green ...
I ended up taking a freaking 9/3 on this dang hole!!
On the always scary #6 course where you had to shoot over the bridge and drainage ditch, I hit a 5 iron shot right into the middle palm tree left of the greens. I ended taking a 4/2 bogey from #6.
The guys ahead of me on #7 invited me to join them to finish up the rest of the course. Here's the view of the #1 green from the hill side of #7 course.
We finished at 5:04 pm just before it got really dark. I shot a 46/21 today (not including the penalty for switching balls with one of my partners right at the end - we both ended up playing the wrong ball onto the green). Oh well, at least I didn't lose a lunch bet on this one!
