Return to Dad Miller

Well, my warm up game yesterday at Cerritos Ironwood 9 didn't help me play any better but at least I couldn't say I hadn't played in a month! After almost two years (October 2007), I was back playing at Dad Miller Golf Course in Anaheim (one of three golf course within a couple miles of where I live). Today was my 22nd time on the course but only the 2nd time I ever finished all 18 holes. I totally had melt downs on the very first tee and on the approached to #18. I kept telling myself that this is supposed to be "fun" ... kind of brutal until I remember that this isn't my day job (ha ha)! Wai and I got to play with two senior gentlemen, Nam and Mike. They were so consistent!


After shanking my very first tee shot into some bushes on the #1 teebox, I finally made it to the 1st green! Boy did I stink today!!


This was a pretty example of how horrible my golfing was today, my tee shot on #6 ended up on the base of this tree!


Here is Mike and Nam on the green waiting to putt.


Heres Wai teeing off!


We to to #9 tee box by 5:58pm with two more hours of daylight to go to finish 18 holes.


At #13 tee box, the sun was totally blinding but Wai managed to make Par on this one! I was able to make my one and only par on #15!

We made it #18 by 7:45pm and finished just after 8:00pm! Woo hoo!
It was only the 2nd time ever that I got to finish Dad Miller GC!


Our post golfing celebration was at Paul's in Anaheim where Wai and I had dinner afterwards.

A "fun" day on the golf course!

Saturday at Dad Millers GC

After playing 18 holes at Fullerton GC, I was ready to conquer Dad Miller GC (boy was I NOT ready)! I got together with Rodney and Brad from work this afternoon.


I even came earlier to practice putting



by the 2nd fairway, I knew I was sucking today!


Rodney and Brad were full of energy!


Brad's putting while Rodney tends the flag pin.


When it was all said and done, I shot a crappy 58! It even started raining on us this afternoon. I had to take off at 5 o'clock but Rodney and Brad started another round at #1.

Oh, well ... next time I'll do better!

Seven holes at Dad Miller GC

Hooked up with Wilson to play 7 holes this afternoon after work.


While I had a couple good drives and chip, the rest of my game was frustrating. Oh, well better than an great day at the office I suppose.

Twilight golf at Dad Miller's

This was my first drive after taking a 9 day break from golf!


my first drive with my 3 wood went a couple hundred yard from the green ... unfortunately, my short game still stinks!


I was blessed to play with my friend and former coworker Jeff in wonderful weather and absolutely no pressure from other golfers today!

What a great day on the course!

It was a nice afternoon

Rodney hits a great shot on #4

the # 5 green looked nice

we had a nice sunset too!

It was nice to play 9 holes with my coworkers. Wish my short game was a lot better!
